Today's Ayat for Saturday, 2018-03-03 / 15 Jumada al-thani 1439
Believers, be mindful of God. And let every soul consider what it has put forth for tomorrow, and be mindful of God, for God is well aware of what you do.
--
And it will be said, "Read your book. Today you are a witness against yourself."
-- al-Hashr 59:18 and al-Isra` 17:14 as rendered by Safi Kaskas
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَلْتَنظُرْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ لِغَدٍ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ
--
اقْرَأْ كِتَابَكَ كَفَىٰ بِنَفْسِكَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَيْكَ حَسِيبًا

IslamAwakened has been asked to add commentary to our Today's Ayat
This is today's comment:
These two ayat serve as "before" and "after" perspectives on the same important theme.
While we live - "before" - 59:18 reminds us to invest in our future fate, living and beyond.
When the Last Day comes - "after" - 17:14 tells us that our investments will be our record.
The theme: We must not waste our days.
This is an OPINION.
We must always read the verse(s) for ourselves!
