Chapter Fajr – Part 9

An obvious reaction to this verse is that when death is given, it is too late to be doing anything pertaining to understanding the purpose of one’s existence is concerned.  There is no need to discuss on this because the spirit has already left the body, the conditions/creation has changed, responsibilities are lifted.  Also, the […]

Recap: People who do not honor orphans (defenseless beings) are being egoistic.
