Surah Al-Mulk (The Kingdom) 67
This Surah is Makki, and it has 30 verses and 2 sections

In the Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Most Merciful

Then, tell me whether the one who walks falling down [frequently] on his face is better guided or the one who walks on a straight path... 67:22

COMMENTARY: The verse depicts the scene of crawling... The phrase 'the one who walks on a straight path' refers to the believer who is rightly guided. The next verse describes the manifestation of Divine power and wisdom in the creation of man, thus: (say, He is the One who has originated you, and made for you the ears and the eyes and the hearts. How little you pay gratitude"... 67:23).

Specifying ears, eyes and Heart of all the human sense organs, only three are mentioned here on which depends knowledge and perception of the external world. Philosophers have identified five sources of knowledge and perception that are called 'five senses': to see, hear, smell, taste or feel something. Allah has equipped man with 'nose' to smell, with 'tongue' to taste, with 'ears' to hear and with 'eyes' to see; Allah has spread 'skin' throughout man's body to feel. But out of the five physical senses, only two have been mentioned, namely, ears and eyes, because man receives a very limited range of knowledge by smelling, tasting and feeling.

Man depends for information largely on hearing and seeing. Of the two organs, his sense of hearing is mentioned first, because a careful analysis shows that most of the information gathered in human life is through hearing, not so much by seeing. The third organ mentioned specifically is the 'heart', because that is the centre of knowledge. Knowledge received through hearing and seeing depends on the human 'heart', unlike the theory of the philosophers and scientists who believe that the centre of knowledge is the human 'brain'.

Friday 20120727 - In this amazing series, Ml Dawood Seedat brings alive the beautiful and extraordinary qualities of our master and leader, Prophet Muhammad SAW. In this podcast, Moulana discussed the Zuhud, the Arabic term for self-denial or abstinence, of the Prophet of Allah SAW. Ml Dawood explained that the greatest Zahid was none other than Rasulullah SAW. On one occasion he, SAW, whilst in Salaah, Allah opened the veils for him to see Jannah and later he told his beloved companions that he could have actually plucked a bunch of grapes from Paradise. Allah Ta’aala offered His beloved Prophet that Mount Uhud be turned into gold and silver, but Rasulullah SAW declined. The best of creation, SAW, the man who could have had anything of this world given to him by his Creator opted for poverty and used to say that this world is for the kuffaar, but Paradise is for the Believer… Moulana also discussed the foods, the house, the clothes, etc. of Prophet Muhammad SAW… Listen
