We belong to Allah

Medihah Hussain (Group Ruqayyah)
A key point that all of us can take in from yesterdays lesson is that when a disaster strikes one of us that person should say:
“Indeed we belong to Allāh, and indeed to Him we will return.”[Al Baqarah:156]
It is such an important and strong statement to acknowledge that no matter what we do here on this earth indeed Allah is the one who owns us and we will be returned to Him. We always are quick to put labels on things and tell people what is ours and what is theirs but do we ever stop to think that we also belong to someone?
The reason that we should say this is because Allah says about these people:
Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are the [rightly] guided.[Al Baqarah:157]
Imagine having the mercy of Allah on you. When you have the mercy of Allah that means that you are close to the reward of Allah. What more is it that one could desire?
