This is the story of the Companions of the Sabbath. If you try to understand this story with the mindset of today, you might think that they did not commit any great crime. Allah commanded them not to hunt fish on Saturday, the day that Allah had set apart for His worship.
But what happened was that the fish disappeared during the week and were seen on the surface of the water only on weekdays. 🌊
What they did was that they did not hunt on the Sabbath, which was forbidden to them, but they only put their nets in the water on Friday night and took them out on Sunday morning.
Surely they would have some scholars who would have told them that as long as you do not cast nets on the Sabbath and do not take them out on that day, then it is permissible.
If you think with the common sense of today, you might think that they did not commit any major sin. But Allah became angry with them, cursed them, excluded them from His mercy, and turned them into monkeys.
All this happened because they betrayed the commands of Allah Ta'ala and tried to avoid His orders.
How many of us today have the mindset of trickery and trickery with the clear and unequivocal commands of Allah?
● Interest is called profit
● Bribery has been decriminalized
● Adultery is defined as a consensual relationship
● Wine has been called a spiritual drink
● Unveiled women say that faith is in the heart
● And the one who does not pray says that religion is the name of dealing
The unfortunate thing is that Allah is angry with us or we are out of His mercy and we are not aware of it, but we consider ourselves as good servants of Allah.
⚠️ Isn't it time that we deal with our Lord as if He is the Great Lord, who commands and is obeyed?
