Transliteration:( Innahoo fakkara wa qaddar )
“Indeed he has thought out and has calculated.”
✅ A Mind Used for Rebellion [15]
— This verse refers to Waleed bin Mugheerah, who reflected and planned, not to accept the truth, but to fabricate lies against the Holy Prophet ﷺ.
— His thinking wasn’t aimed at finding truth, rather it was to mock revelation and misguide others.
✅ Two Types of Reflection
🌸 Reflection of the Faithful:
— Thinking over the praises (Na'at) of the Prophet ﷺ, the attributes of Allah ﷻ, and one’s own sins leads to faith and worship.
— This kind of reflection is pure and spiritual, just as done by Hazrat Hassaan رضي الله عنه, the poet of the Prophet ﷺ.
❌ Reflection of the Rebellious:
— Using intellect to doubt or distort Allah’s signs or question the character of the Prophet ﷺ is a sign of disbelief (kufr).
— Such plotting reflects arrogance and denial, not sincerity.
