Confusion Diffusion

There is a difference between “Knowing” and “Believing”. Then there is a difference between “Believing” and “Understanding”. Finally, there is a difference between “Understanding” and “Implementing”.

The whole concept of reward from Allah, starts from “Knowing” and ends at “Implementing”. Lets us analyze the same process in reverse direction; without “Implementation, there is no use of “Understanding”: without “Understanding, there is no use of “Believing” and without “Believing”, “Knowing” is doubtful.

Human beings respond against Implementation whereas Almighty Allah also responds against “Struggle”. Therefore, we have to struggle for the pleasure of Allah, otherwise He is not kind to those who don’t even bother to “Struggle” for His pleasure.

“So when you have finished (your occupation), devote yourself to Allah’s worship. And to your Lord (Alone) turn (all your) intentions and hopes.” (Ch-94; V 7, 8)

Suppose I am working in an office from 9 am to 5 pm, then verse no. 7 describes the time table for me which is after 5 pm (when you have finished (your occupation), devote yourself to Allah’s worship). Now how to spent time from 9 am to 5 pm? This is described in verse no. 8 (And to your Lord (Alone) turn (all your) intentions and hopes).
