AlHamdulillahiRabbilA'lamin

Tonight, Sunday 18th July 2010, at 10.33pm, as I sat on my couch and my son sitting across from me on a sofa, and as we watched Angels and Demons, while doing his mathematics homework (believe it or not, I am helping him with his college mathematics), I started my reading of the Tafsir Ibn Kathir (the meaning of the Qur'an compiled by Ibn Kathir).

I have glanced through and I am struck on learning that Allah began His Creation with the Praise, the Hamd (we know, Alhamdulillah, All praise to Allah, that Hamd).

"All praise and thanks be to Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth, and originated the darkness and the light; yet those who disbelieve hold others equal to their Lord." (Al-An'am 6:1)

And ended it with the Hamd.
"And you will see the angels surrounding the Throne (of Allah), glorifying their Lord with praise. And judgement will be made between them (creatures) with the truth. And it will be said, 'All praise and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of all that exist." (39:75)

In the beginning and in the end, His is the Praise.
"He is Allah, there is no god except for Him, His is the praise in the beginning and in the end, His is the judgement and to Him shall you (all) return." (28:70)

My note:
Alhamdulillahirabbila'lamin. We must remember to be grateful to Allah all the time. Alhamdulillah in the morning as we open our eyes from the night's sleep and alhamdulillah before we fall asleep again for the night. And all throughout the day.

    Contentment is the journey, thanks for the reminder for being grateful to one and only. That's when we are up and happy, and we are down, we count our blessings and back to Alhamdulillahirrabila'lamin.

    After all, life is a journey. Brief for vegetables in my garden but fairly long for us. On a simplistic term, there are points to score to get to better place. Choices and fate are intertwined. ~bangchik

    Hi Aishah, it is always good to reflect on life and the Almighty.
    You must be good in Maths, huh? As for me, never did well in school re Arithmetic and maths, otherwise become scientist, ha ha.
    Have a pleasant week and keep a song in your heart, Lee.
