Admonitory Examples
* Sayyidunā Sufyān al-Thawrī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه states, "He who views the world with an eye of reflection and ponders deeply, succeeds in performing a greater number of pious deeds."[1]
* Sayyidunā Mālik b. Dīnār رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه said, "The one who does not view this world with an eye of reflection, and does not concern himself with the Hereafter, his pious deeds are few, and his heart is veiled."[2]
Would that we be granted the eye of reflection! Allah Almighty states:
یُقَلِّبُ اللّٰہُ الَّیْلَ وَ النَّہَارَ ؕ اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِکَ لَعِبْرَۃً لِّاُولِی الْاَبْصَارِ (۴۴)
Allah changes the night and the day. Surely in this there is a point of understanding for the people of insight.[3]
In juzˈ 30, Surah al-NāziꜤāt, after describing incident of Pharaoh and his army drowning, Allah Almighty states:
اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِکَ لَعِبْرَۃً لِّمَنْ یَّخْشٰی (ؕ۲۶)
Indeed, in this there is a lesson for one who fears ˹Allah˺.[4]
اَللہُ اَکْبَر! Those who fear Allah Almighty , the اُولِی الْاَبْصَار (i.e., those who reflect and possess insight) take admonition by looking at the signs of Allah.
