Imagine this: You are stranded in a vast, lifeless desert, teetering on the edge of survival. Thirst grips your throat, and hope fades with every step. Then, out of nowhere, a stranger appears, offering you water that revives your body and guidance that leads you to a safe path, ensuring your survival. As you prepare to part ways, this kind soul asks you for one favor: to deliver a letter to his family. Would you honor his request?
Take a moment to think. Are you sure about your answer? Let’s test the sincerity of your response.
If you believe you would fulfill the stranger’s request, then reflect on this: How much greater is the One who has not only saved you but also given you life itself? Allah has endowed you with a body, intellect, and the ability to discern right from wrong. If you are grateful to a mere human for a life-saving favor, should you not be even more committed to fulfilling the commands of Allah, who sustains your very existence?
Now, do you see how ungrateful and unjust such negligence would be? But to whom is this injustice directed? Certainly not to Allah, for He is self-sufficient and in no need of our worship or obedience. The loss is entirely ours, a loss of purpose, fulfillment, and eternal reward.

Quran 33:72 speaks of a profound trust Allah offered to the heavens, the earth, and the mountains, a responsibility so immense that they refused it, fearing its consequences. Yet humanity, in its unique capacity for growth and moral choice, accepted this trust, because Allah created us in the best of forms (Quran 95:4), then reduce us to the lowest or bearest level (of justice and knowledge) Quran 95:5, only then we could accept the challlenge to move from unjust to just and from Ignorant to learned which is why we could superpass the level of angel.

Some scholars argue on Quran 33:72 that all other creations worship Allah by compulsion, while humans were granted the freedom to choose obedience or disobedience. However, this interpretation appears to conflict with Quran 41:11, where Allah commands the heavens and the earth to submit to Him( Willingly or Unwillingly), and they respond willingly. Their submission is not born of compulsion but of an inherent recognition of Allah’s justice and omniscience. If not they are not morethan a ROBOT

In contrast, humans were given free will precisely because of their ability to choose justice or Injstice and knowledge or Ignorant at thesame time. This freedom makes our worship uniquely valuable, as it stems from conscious choice . It is through this struggle to fulfill the trust placed upon us that we can achieve a rank higher than that of angels, who worship without the trials of choice and accountability.

So, reflect deeply: Are you honoring the immense trust Allah has placed in you? Or are you squandering it, forgetting the One who has given you everything? The choice is yours, and its consequences are eternal. 

THE KEY TO SUCCESS IN THIS ENDEAVOR IS HOLDING ONTO THE QURAN, AS IT GUIDE ONE TO THE PATH OF JUSTICE AND KNOWLEDGE

I didn’t know about the olive trees,
How pure they grow.
How firm they are.
I didn’t about the olive trees that are in the ancient lands afar. 

Hundreds and hundreds of years old,
They have born much fruit,
Black, brown and every shade of green.
Sunny days and cold days they have seen.
But did you know they have seen the darkest of days? Ever witnessed amongst the human race.
Shouts and screams. Injustice, torture and countless of shattered dreams. 
I didn’t know about the olive trees, their branches dangle down like shadows in the lands of holiness. 
Tainted with persecution and the worst of sins.

Silent, strong, steadfast.
The olive tree has shedded much fruit,
And nourished so many.
Used in cooking; turning the simplest of staple foods into delicacies.
The oil used to massage the newborn babies and to soothe the aches of the elderly.
But perhaps most of all it is used to heal the wounds of so many.
I didn’t know about these olive trees in a land taken over by those who don’t even belong in the lands of these olive trees. 

These olive trees were the love of so many heroes that the world did not know before.
Plucking and harvesting from these trees that their ancestors recognised so well.
Big and small. Each one delivered it’s own haul. 
And each one nurtured fortitude, forbearance and a faith so strong.

So strong that even the world’s most educated’ oxfords, Cambridge’s and Harvards are perplexed by their courage and humanity. 
For their humanity is passed through their ancestors who were killed mercilessly. 
They too once ate from the fruits of these olive trees. 

And the world did not know about these olive trees, until so many lives have gone before our eyes, and witnessed openly through every corner of the world.

Yet, the world is not doing anything but watching these olive trees being burned to the ground by those whose grandfathers and parents did not eat from these olive trees and would not understand their value for if they did they would not have cut them down. 

The fruits and branches gone, but there are stones buried into the ground. And with resilience and faith these olive trees won’t stop growing again.
