Muslims – Are We?


Muslims – Are We?

Qur’aanic Verse 27:81:

27:81

Transliteration:

81. Wama anta bihadee alAAumyi AAan dalalatihim in tusmiAAu illa man yu/minu bi-ayatina fahum muslimoona

Translation:

81. And you cannot guide the blind out of their liability. None can you make listen to you save those who believe in Our Verses/signs and then become Muslims (surrender to Allah’s Will).14

Study Note:

14. Most of the so-called Muslims in today’s world (early part of 21stcentury A.D.), I am afraid, fall under the category of persons described here as deaf to the call of the Prophet (peace on him). Yes, they call themselves Muslims. But do they really believe in the divine Verses of the Qur’aan? They call themselves Muslims just because they were born to Muslim parents. Their study of the Qur’aan, if at all, is limited to just being able to read the Arabic Qur’aan without ever bothering to learn what the blessed Verses are all about. That is obviously because they do not really believe the Verses to be from One Who has created them. Had they really believed that they would for ever burn in Hell if they do not abide by the Qur’aanic Verses, they would have been eager to learn them and abide by them. Muslims would really be Muslims if, and only if, they really believe in the Verses.
