Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Heart of the Qur'an: A Commentary to Sura al Yasin Ayat no. 33-35 In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful And a sign to them is the dead earth: We give life to it and bring forth from it grain so they eat of it. And We make therein gardens of palms and grapevines and We make springs to flow forth in it, That they may eat of the fruit thereof, and their hands did not make it; will they not then be grateful?

(36:33-35) Eat dates and grapes and be thankful These verses are related with the Uniqueness of God and the Hereafter and the proofs of both are very clear. You have seen how life is blown into a dead dry earth: We give life to it and bring forth from it grain… *** *** Various kinds of seeds grow out of it, which you eat – that is date trees and grapevines. Rivers are made to flow between them. So eat these fruits, think upon it and derive a lesson.

Eat and be grateful and thankful to God by recognizing and worshipping Him. Be God worshippers. See who is their Originator. Also remember that what you see is only a drop, which shows the Might of God. The greater thing is God’s power, which will be clear to you in the world, which is after death. And there is not a thing but with Us are the treasures of it, and We do not send it down but in a known measure.

(15:21) *** *** Dry and wet (fresh) dates are from the original sweetness, treasured in the higher world, which you will taste after your death. Then you will understand and realize what true sweetness is. All the greenery, flavor and fragrance are stored with the Lord of the worlds. He is the bestower of bounties covering you (like the animals) …will they not then be grateful? *** *** An animal eats from the bounties of God and does nothing else.

Its job is to graze and chew on barley and alfa alfa and that is all. But it is the duty of man to eat and go to the giver of this food and thank Him. Otherwise what is the difference between Him and the animal? …and eat as the beasts eat, and the fire is their abode. (47:12) *** *** Human intellect demands that he must be humble before the Benefactor, the Almighty God. Man must not be a denier (Kafir/ungrateful). ‘Kufr’ means cover, that is, covering or hiding.

O the one who wears the bounty given by God and does not consider it to be from God, God is needless. Allah, (there is) no god but He, the Ever living, the Self-subsisting by Whom all things subsist. (3:2) *** *** Thanking God is better only for you.
