The reality of human abilities; A short article

 

For much of my life, I have penned down my perceptions and thoughts, since writing clarifies my vague ideas and brings them to a point where linguistics are arranged in an order that suffices to convey a concept with accurate precision.

Contradictorily, unless I put my concepts into words, I feel that I have failed at drawing all concepts to a center, a locus, where they begin to make sense and are convincing enough to be held in the first place.

I have been contemplating significantly on a idea for a long time, which has kept me dubious and to a certain extent challenged my pre-held perspectives.

The reality of human abilities and its connection with Allah

For me, actualization of any ability owned or any act done by an individual apparently is an overt expression of individuality but an implicit portrayal of Allah's (S.W.T) greatness. The concepts of hardwork and inherent qualities of a human being have further obscured my efforts to draw a fine line among the two ends. However, I have triumphed at the task and I think its worth sharing.

"Any expression of beneficial or contributive ability is just a small representation of the incomparable qualities of Allah, through any of his creations that, He wills"

This statement entailed immense thoughtfulness prior to culminating in this form. It distinguishes and clarifies how human beings ought to not feel praised or flattered if they are appreciated and positively sanctioned but only be grateful for the fact that Allah chose them for exhibiting his mightiness; An insignificant creation like us.

Understanding it in a way, that a bulb would always fail to enlighten the room if the electric supply is disturbed from the original source. Now in this sense, the shine of the bulb, an expensive glass over it, or well-connected filaments (hardwork, grit, determination) will be of no advantage and the purpose of the bulb would continue to remain unfulfilled.
