Pleasing ALLAH Our Greatest Priority
pleased with the decree of Allah. We should neither darken our hearts nor complain with our tongues.
Allah has granted everyone the best for them
Prophets Mūsā and Hārūn عَـلَيْهِمَا الـسَّلَام went to Firʿawn, seeking to call him to righteousness. Firʿawn asked:
فَمَنۡ رَّبُّکُمَا یٰمُوۡسٰی (۴۹)
He (Firʿawn) said, 'So, who is the Lord of you both, O Musa?'[1]
Prophet Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام replied:
قَالَ رَبُّنَا الَّذِیۡۤ اَعۡطٰی کُلَّ شَیۡءٍ خَلۡقَہٗ ثُمَّ ہَدٰی (۵۰)
He (Musa) said, 'Our Lord is He Who gave a befitting form to everything, then showed the (right) path.'[2]
Commentators of the Quran give us great insight into this verse. According to their explanation, this verse discusses how Allah is He Who created and granted specific abilities to everything. He also granted means and unique form to each thing, depending on what it shall do.
For example, Allah created the eye to see and placed the faculty of vision within it. He created the ear for hearing and placed inside it the faculty of hearing. He gave both of them forms suited to their purpose. Everything has its special purpose and function. Ears for hearing cannot see, and eyes for seeing cannot hear.
