Surah Nisa

Bismillahi rahmani raheeem

Often times due to the distance my school is from my home, I spend a lot of time in my car for my morning commute. Every morning I start my car to find the setting of my radio on CD, and am greeted with the sweet sounds of Shiekh Abdul Basit blaring back at me. The culprit would be my dearest beloved mother, who is currently determined to memorize surah Anbiyah, and Abdul Basit is her sheikh of choice. I am far more old school and prefer the exhilarating sounds of Muhaisini, whom some may argue is far too quick, on the good old’ tape player. But ever since I was a young child, there was nothing more calming to me than the sounds of this sheikh’s voice, and he was always my first go to choice for reciters. Currently I am particularly intrigued by his emotional and soul awakening recitation of surah Al-Nisa. Every morning as I approach my schools over crowded parking lot and watch as my peers hurry to make it to their respective classes before the enslavement that is this dunya grips them, and the apprehension that is their success for the future, I hear an Ayah that remains with me for the duration of my day. And it never fails to leave me with a chill I am unable to shake.

(56) إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا سَوْفَ نُصْلِيهِمْ نَارًا كُلَّمَا نَضِجَتْ جُلُودُهُمْ بَدَّلْنَاهُمْ جُلُودًا غَيْرَهَا لِيَذُوقُواْ الْعَذَابَ إِنَّ اللّهَ كَانَ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمًا

56. ” Verily those who disbelieved in Our Signs, soon We will cast them into Fire so oft as their skins shall be burnt We will change them for other skins, that they may taste the torment. Surely Allah is the Mighty, the Wise. “
