﷽
How insignificant you are..
Look at how Malik Ibn Dinaar رحمه الله described us human beings.
He said “Definitely, you began as a scattered drop, and you carry filth in stomach, and your end will be a filthy corpse.”
سبحان الله
The words of Malik Ibn Dinaar رحمه الله ring true!
We started off, passing through the passage of urine first as a despised fluid!
Allah ﷻ says
فَليَنظُرِ الإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِق
So let man look at from what he is created
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٖ دَافِقٖ
(They were) created from a spurting fluid.
[86:5-6]
_
Yet Allah ﷻ fashioned us in the womb, and this despised fluid became a small body, with arms, legs, a heart, eyes and the list goes on!
Allah ﷻ says
ثُمَّ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلنُّطۡفَةَ عَلَقَةٗ فَخَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡعَلَقَةَ مُضۡغَةٗ فَخَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡمُضۡغَةَ عِظَٰمٗا فَكَسَوۡنَا ٱلۡعِظَٰمَ لَحۡمٗا ثُمَّ أَنشَأۡنَٰهُ خَلۡقًا ءَاخَرَۚ فَتَبَارَكَ ٱللَّهُ أَحۡسَنُ ٱلۡخَٰلِقِينَ
then We developed the drop into a clinging clot (of blood), then developed the clot into a lump (of flesh), then developed the lump into bones, then clothed the bones with flesh, then We brought it into being as a new creation. So Blessed is Allah, the Best of Creators.
[23:14]
_
And then we again passed through the passage of urine, and this time as a small helpless baby!
And Allah ﷻ says
مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُ فَقَدَّرَهُ
He created them from a sperm-drop, and ordained their development.
ثُمَّ السَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُ
Then He makes the way easy for them,.
[80:19-20]
Ibn ‘Abbas رضي الله عنه says “Then He made his coming out of his mother’s belly easy for him”
_
Ya Ibn Adam! Why are you arrogant! How can you be! You came from a despised fluid and will become a rotting corpse! And in between you carry filth, consuming and excreting!
_
Does it not make sense to turn back to your Lord?
_
Ya Ibn Adam! Turn back to your creator, the highest, most excellent, most perfect. Allah ﷻ!
Turn back before you die!
_
May Allah ﷻ forgive our sins and make us humble.
آمين يا رب العالمين
