Greater in the Hereafter

Aaoodhoo billahe minashaitan rajeem 

Al-Kahf 18:34

وَكَانَ لَهُ‌و ثَمَرٌ فَقَالَ لِصَٰحِبِهِۧ وَهُوَ يُحَاوِرُهُ‌وٓ أَنَا۠ أَكْثَرُ مِنكَ مَالًا وَأَعَزُّ نَفَرًا 

And he had fruit, so he said to his companion while he was conversing with him, "I am greater than you in wealth and mightier in [numbers of] men."

Al-Kahf 18:36

وَمَآ أَظُنُّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ قَآئِمَةً وَلَئِن رُّدِدتُّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى لَأَجِدَنَّ خَيْرًا مِّنْهَا مُنقَلَبًا 

And I do not think the Hour will occur. And even if I should be brought back to my Lord, I will surely find better than this as a return."

__________________________________________________________________________

This man thought he was better from other man in wealth and number of supporters. Also he thought he will get better in the next world from what He had in this world. I wonder if I think I am better from someone in this world due to some illusion and I am in this illusion that I will be better from this someone in hereafter and the situations turns exact opposite in hereafter then I would regret a lot. May Allah save us all from this regret in hereafter. Ameen.

Fear and knowledge

 Faatir (فاطر) / 35:28

وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱلدَّوَآبِّ وَٱلْأَنْعَٰمِ مُخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوَٰنُهُۥ كَذَٰلِكَ إِنَّمَا يَخْشَى ٱللَّهَ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ ٱلْعُلَمَٰٓؤُا۟ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ غَفُورٌ

And among people and moving creatures and grazing livestock are various colors similarly. Only those fear Allah, from among His servants, who have knowledge. Indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might and Forgiving.

وَمِنَ And among  -  النَّاسِ men  -  وَالدَّوَابِّ and moving creatures  -  وَالْأَنْعَامِ and the cattle  -  مُخْتَلِفٌ (are) various  -  أَلْوَانُهُ [their] colors  -  كَذَلِكَ likewise.  -  إِنَّمَا Only  -  يَخْشَى fear  -  اللَّهَ Allah  -  مِنْ among  -  عِبَادِهِ His slaves  -  الْعُلَمَؤُا those who have knowledge.  -  إِنَّ Indeed,  -  اللَّهَ Allah  -  عَزِيزٌ (is) All-Mighty,  -  غَفُورٌ Oft-Forgiving.  -

Only those fear Allah, who have knowledge. I like to have knowledge but it is scary if it is making me feel high. How can I feel high and yet I do feel high after learning something new. Oh Allah make me humble. Oh Allah I want to fear You but I want to increase my knowledge too but knowledge doesn't make me humble. Oh Allah I have no strength no power. Oh Allah increase my knowledge but make me humble. Oh Allah make me remember that all knowledge comes from You. Oh Allah make me remember that only those fear You are those who have knowledge. Oh Allah make me fear You.

Deserted this Quran

اعوذ بالله من الشيطن الرجيم

Surah 25. Al-Furqan, Verse 30:

وَقَالَ الرَّسُولُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِي اتَّخَذُوا هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنَ مَهْجُورًا

Translation:

And the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) will say: "O my Lord! Verily, my people deserted this Quran (neither listened to it, nor acted on its laws and orders).

Allah doesn't change the condition of people until they change themselves

اعوذ بالله من الشيطن الرجيم

Surah 13. Ar-Rad, Verse 11:

لَهُ مُعَقِّبَاتٌ مِّن بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ يَحْفَظُونَهُ مِنْ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّىٰ يُغَيِّرُوا مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمْ وَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِقَوْمٍ سُوءًا فَلَا مَرَدَّ لَهُ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن دُونِهِ مِن وَالٍ

Translation:

For each (person), there are angels in succession, before and behind him. They guard him by the Command of Allah. Verily! Allah will not change the good condition of a people as long as they do not change their state of goodness themselves (by committing sins and by being ungrateful and disobedient to Allah). But when Allah wills a people's punishment, there can be no turning back of it, and they will find besides Him no protector.
