00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,720
Allah the Exalted says:

2
00:00:30,129 --> 00:00:45,689
“Say: In the bounty of Allah and in His mercy: therein let them rejoice. It is better than what they hoard.” (10:58)

3
00:00:45,689 --> 00:00:49,500
Ibn Kathir, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

4
00:00:49,500 --> 00:00:54,700
Allah has bestowed a great favor upon His creation by revealing the Magnificent Qur'an,

5
00:00:54,700 --> 00:00:58,899
unto His noble Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

6
00:00:59,140 --> 00:01:03,140
through which guidance and mercy from Allah the Exalted are attained.

7
00:01:03,140 --> 00:01:08,140
And because of this guidance and the religion of truth that has come to them from Allah,

8
00:01:08,140 --> 00:01:13,140
they should rejoice, for it is the most worthy thing for them to rejoice over.

9
00:01:13,140 --> 00:01:17,140
It is better than all the worldly debris they amass,

10
00:01:17,140 --> 00:01:22,140
and all the fleeting, transient splendor that it inevitably contains.
