SPECIAL BLESSING TO MANKIND

SPECIAL BLESSING TO MANKIND

Acknowledge God’s Favours

The Creator has given an exceptional position to man in this whole world. This has been stated in the Quran in these words: “We have honoured man and have borne him on the land and the sea.” (THE QURAN 17: 70).

The Creator has given numerous blessings to man. One such blessing is that man, as opposed to other animals, travels on vehicles. Man’s body is the first vehicle. In the early period of his history, man started travel by walking on his feet. Then, he harnessed some animals and started travelling on horse and camels. Then, by applying his mind he invented the boat and started travelling by sea. In the age of modern technology he further harnessed matter and began travelling on wheeled vehicles. He then developed those vehicles that run on engines. This was a great development as now matter is utilized for transporting man from one place to another. Further from this development came aviation, by which man can fly in the air with high speed. In present times, space journeys have also become possible through rockets.

Blindness in the present world deprives them from
receiving divine bounties again in the world Hereafter.

In the next verse in this sequence the Quran says: “Whoever has been blind in this life will be blind in the life to come.” (THE QURAN 17: 72)

It means that every man and woman must discover the bounties of God Almighty. Every person must acknowledge this fact and lead a life on this planet earth which is in accordance with these special blessings. Those who fail to discover this fact and fail to acknowledge it will be regarded as blind. They will fail to find blessings in the Hereafter. After completing their present life, they will be made to go to a world where they shall be deprived of all kinds of bounties and blessings. Blindness in the present world deprives them from receiving divine bounties again in the world Hereafter. o
