Ramadan Quran Reflection Day #5 (2:112)
بَلَىٰ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ وَجْهَهُ لِلَّهِ وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ فَلَهُ أَجْرُهُ عِندَ رَبِّهِ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
“Verily indeed, the one who submits his/her whole self to God and is a doer of good will get their reward with their Lord, and there will be no fear for them, nor shall they grieve.”
This verse is so simple yet so grand. The road to success is to submit our affairs to our Creator wholeheartedly, turn to Him for our needs, and follow His ways rather than our own desires. But there’s one more condition. What is it? To be a doer of good. Look at where that emphasis is after coming to God. To be good to the people is a sign of how good you are with your Lord. The more you submit your affairs to God, the better in return you should be with the people around you. That’s the measure. Faith comes with goodness, simply put.
When you’re struggling to be better to those who have wronged you, read this verse and know that your reward is with God, and not in vain. Everything is accounted for.
And the promise at the end of the verse: Security, no fear, and lack of grief; two things we chase in this life so bad but so easily promised by God. Just spread goodness.
