❤️ The Return to Allah

📖 Tafseer (Commentary) of Ayah 89:28

🔹 "Return to your Lord, so pleased with Him, as He is pleased with you"

  • This divine call will be addressed to a true believer at:
    The time of death 🏴
    The time of resurrection
    After accountability when entering Jannah 🌳

  • It signifies returning to Allah’s mercy and nearness, where the believer will experience ultimate peace and joy.

🔹 The Three Stages of the Human Soul

1️⃣ NAFS-E-AMMARAH (The Commanding Soul)

  • The lowest stage, which inclines towards evil and sinful desires.
  • Example: The soul that enjoys sins without remorse.

2️⃣ NAFS-E-LAWWAMAH (The Self-Accusing Soul)

  • The conscience, which rebukes a person after committing sins and urges them to repent.
  • Example: Feeling guilt after sinning and seeking forgiveness.

3️⃣ NAFS-E-MUTMAINNAH (The Contented Soul)

  • The highest level, where the soul finds peace in Allah’s remembrance.
  • Such a soul will be granted the vision of Allah اللَّهُ on the Day of Judgment ⚖️.

📖 "O contented soul, return to your Lord..."

🔹 The Pleasure of Allah

✅ A true believer remains patient during hardships and grateful in blessings.
✅ They accept Allah’s decree in both prosperity and adversity.
Allah, despite their shortcomings, is pleased with them and grants them immense reward.

🌟 Reflection: This verse reminds us to strive for NAFS-E-MUTMAINNAH, the highest spiritual state, so we may return to Allah’s eternal mercy and Jannah. 🌳
