Surah Al-Baqarah

Verse 20

2:20 Al-Baqarah

‎يَكَادُ الْبَرْقُ يَخْطَفُ أَبْصَـرَهُمْ كُلَّمَآ أَضَآءَ لَهُم مَّشَوْاْ فِيهِ وَإِذَآ أَظْلَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَامُواْ وَلَوْ شَآءَ اللَّهُ لَذَهَبَ بِسَمْعِهِمْ وَأَبْصَـرِهِمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

“The lightning almost snatches away their sight. Every time it lights [the way] for them, they walk therein; but when darkness comes over them, they stand [still]. And if Allah had willed, He could have taken away their hearing and their sight. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent.”

Surah Baqarah Verse 20

☘️Due to the hypocrisy in their hearts, they were unable to see the truth of Islam. It seemed as if someone has snatched away their sight.

☘️Because they are only feigning Islam and are not truly believers they follow the commandments only for some time. Whenever they were required to make a sacrifice such as going on Jihad or giving in the way of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala they would change their path. It seemed as if someone has made them to standstill.

☘️Whenever the Muslims won a battle, the hypocrites would appear to collect their share from the victory but when Islam suffered loss they would revert to their disbelief.

‎وَلَوْ شَآءَ اللَّهُ لَذَهَبَ بِسَمْعِهِمْ وَأَبْصَـرِهِمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

“And if Allah willed, He would have taken away their hearing and their sight. Certainly, Allah has power over all things.” 

☘️Had Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala willed He would have taken away their hearing and sight because of their abandoning the truth after acknowledging it.

☘️At many places in the Qur’an, Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala reveals the true characteristics of the hypocrites. They make a verbal declaration of emaan but when it comes to performing deeds they don’t act. It is because their hearts are filled with disbelief and doubts. A person who has doubts about Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala, the Prophet, the angels or the Hereafter, such a person cannot be considered a believer even if he verbally declares himself to be a Muslim.

🔮The Quran is the truth from Allah SWT so never be among those who doubt. The tongue  utters what's in the heart so remove all doubts from your heart. 

💎I ask Allah SWT to remove all doubts from our heart, Aameen
