Surah Baqarah

Assalaamu-Alaikum,

Though I enrolled late into the class and missed the entire first juz, I did manage to skim through it and my reflections on the juz was that it seems as though Allah SWT has made his signs crystal clear to us and easy for us to understand, yet we still cannot come to show full obedience to Him. It is clear that Allah SWT has taken a covenant from each and every one of us and yet we make full attempts to break that covenant every single time.

What is stopping us from believing in the absolute truth?? Why is it that we can verbally say that we believe, but we find it so difficult for our actions to show that belief? Must we see the hell fire first hand in order for us to TRULY believe? Must we see Jannah first hand in order for us to truly believe?? It is disheartening that Allah SWT has sent down the Quran as guidance for us and the Prophets to relay the message of Allah SWT, but still we don’t think it’s enough for us to accept the truth. May Allah SWT have mercy on all of us and increase our taqwa and our imaan so that we may be most righteous and be amongst the al-mumineen.
