Today's Ayat for Monday, 2018-03-05 / 17 Jumada al-thani 1439
If you have suffered injuries ˹at Uḥud˺, they suffered similarly ˹at Badr˺. We alternate these days ˹of victory and defeat˺ among people so that Allah may reveal the ˹true˺ believers, choose martyrs from among you—and Allah does not like the wrongdoers—
-- al-Imran 3:140 as rendered in The Clear Quran, by Dr. Mustafa Khattab
إِن يَمْسَسْكُمْ قَرْحٌ فَقَدْ مَسَّ الْقَوْمَ قَرْحٌ مِّثْلُهُ وَتِلْكَ الْأَيَّامُ نُدَاوِلُهَا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ وَلِيَعْلَمَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَيَتَّخِذَ مِنكُمْ شُهَدَاءَ وَاللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الظَّالِمِينَ

IslamAwakened has been asked to add commentary to our Today's Ayat
This is today's comment:
We are reminded often in the Qur'an that we are here to be tested.
This verse, while referring to historical events, also applies to all of us today. As individuals, or as groups and teams, we will have progress and setbacks. We should not see such setbacks as punishments but as both tests and as lessons. Serious self-examination will show us much of the foundations of our "defeats". We also need to remember that even a success can be a test!
Takeaway: "Good days" and "bad days" are guaranteed; it is on us to learn from them.
This is an OPINION.
We must always read the verse(s) for ourselves!
