We Pray, Do We Give Effort Its Due?"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>27 October 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Lies Behind a Plate of Food?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Question: We want to see a plate of rice on our table; does merely wanting it complete all the work that falls to us?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rice must grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The soil must be worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is water, time, and harvesting involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then that produce must reach us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another effort begins in the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ingredients are prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proportions are considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The stove is lit, and the food is cooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes we make all these processes invisible within a plate of food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes before us, we see only the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet behind that result are both blessings and effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is important to think about this when praying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asking Allah does not require us to regard our own work as unimportant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our effort and our turning to Him need not be set against one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can do what we can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can also know that what we do does not belong to us alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because we did not entirely create the resources we use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We did not establish the soil, water, or life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We work with the resources we have been given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This awareness does not diminish the value of effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It helps us consider effort together with gratitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Supplication should not turn into a waiting in which we forget our responsibility.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If we want an outcome, we should also consider our own part in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Constantly postponing what we can do and merely asking may create a gap between our intention and our behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When We See a Blessing, Do We See Only Ourselves?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Verses 100\u2013103 of Surah Al-An&#8217;am emphasize Allah&#8217;s creation and uniqueness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People should not confuse created beings with the Creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When thinking about life and its opportunities, they should not regard what they possess as nothing more than their own achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This reminder also carries meaning within everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can rejoice when we accomplish something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We know we have made an effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if we think we alone created all the conditions, we miss the broader side of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are people who help us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is knowledge we have learned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are resources we use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without seeing all of these, it is easy to magnify only our own contribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gratitude helps us recognize this narrowing of perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People can be grateful without denying their own effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They can be grateful by recognizing someone else&#8217;s effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They can also put gratitude into action by using their blessings more responsibly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Verse 104 of Surah Al-An&#8217;am reminds us that clear insights have come, and whoever sees does so for their own benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recognizing the signs before us first affects our own lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we accept a truth, our accepting it does not bring Allah any gain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We change our own direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Question: In which of our actions does a truth we know become visible?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This question challenges our habit of merely explaining knowledge to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We may explain a matter well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if we do not apply the same standard in our own work, our words and behavior diverge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We may speak of gratitude while belittling the effort offered to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We may speak of truthfulness while disregarding a promise we made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recognizing this separation is a beginning for correcting our own lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Is Insulting Others the Wrong Way to Explain the Truth?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Verse 108 of Surah Al-An&#8217;am reminds us of a very clear standard of communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are instructed not to insult those whom people invoke besides Allah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It states that such behavior may lead them to insult Allah out of ignorance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here, not only what we say but also the consequences our words may produce matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We may want to defend what we believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We may object when we see something wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But objection and insult are not the same thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Humiliating the other person does not make our view more correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The harshness of our words does not take the place of our evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes people think they are protecting their rightful position when they become angry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet when they put anger at the center of their speech, what they want to explain may become invisible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other person feels only that they are being attacked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then the conversation may turn into mutual hurt rather than reflection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Question: Do we want to make the truth understandable, or defeat the other person?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These two intentions do not produce the same result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the first, we pay attention to understanding and explaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the second, the other person&#8217;s silence may seem enough to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet silence is not persuasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being hurt does not mean accepting the truth either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Considered together with verses 105\u2013107 of Surah Al-An&#8217;am, knowing one&#8217;s own duty and limits also becomes important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can explain what is right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But we cannot substitute our own will for someone else&#8217;s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We cannot act as the guardian of all their choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We bear responsibility for our own words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other person has their own choice too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Preserving this distinction requires both patience and care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is It True Because Many People Say It?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Verses 109\u2013111 of Surah Al-An&#8217;am address the demand for extraordinary signs and the question of belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes people say that the only thing that will change them is a great sign from outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if they are closed to evaluating the knowledge before them, a greater spectacle may not solve everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here we should consider our own openness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are we truly seeking what is right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or are we only waiting for confirmation of a decision we have already made?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reminder about embellished speech in verse 112 of Surah Al-An&#8217;am deepens this question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A statement may be beautifully constructed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It may influence us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It may promise what we want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even so, we need to think about its content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How it is said and whether it is true are not the same thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The warning about following the majority in verse 116 of Surah Al-An&#8217;am also matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The widespread acceptance of an idea does not, by itself, prove it true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But neither can we conclude from this that every widespread idea is false.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The issue is evidence and standards before numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes people feel relieved by following the majority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They want to leave their responsibility within the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They may feel the weight of their own choice less in something everyone does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet everyone walking in the same direction does not remove our responsibility to think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The crowd cannot take the place of our decision.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When accepting a claim, we should ask what we are relying on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Especially if that claim offers us very easy comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Especially if it justifies our own wishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The emphasis on truth and justice in verses 114 and 115 of Surah Al-An&#8217;am reminds us of this standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choosing what pleases us and remaining committed to the truth are not always the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes the truth sets limits on our wishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes it challenges the flattering story we tell about ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Lies Behind the Visible Behavior?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Verse 120 of Surah Al-An&#8217;am calls for abandoning both outward and hidden sin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It may not be enough for people to regulate only their outwardly visible behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They also need to consider their inner direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When making a promise, do we truly intend to keep it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or do we merely want to end the conversation easily?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When presenting a product, do we know about its defect?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite knowing, do we avoid telling the other party?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These questions reveal how faith is reflected in daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Truthfulness is not only the truth of the topics we discuss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is the attitude people encounter when doing business with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is how reliable our word is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is how carefully we respect another person&#8217;s rights when using our resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A task may have rules and limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tools we use also have a way of operating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We cannot expect the result we want without taking that system into account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In our relationships with people, we cannot ignore boundaries and rights either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our own wishes do not remove the other person&#8217;s rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the beginning, we thought about a plate of rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We tried to see effort alongside supplication, and the process alongside the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now let us bring the same care to our lives as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While waiting for the outcome we want, let us look at our own behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While using blessings, let us remember our gratitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While explaining what is right, let us consider the effect of our words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While accepting a claim, let us ask about its basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let our faith not remain merely words we repeat with our tongues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let it also be visible in our reliability, our effort, and the respect we show others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While remembering effort alongside supplication, let us not limit effort to our own work either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let us think about the care of the person preparing a meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let us think about the production that came before that meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let us try to notice how many different tasks lie behind the resources that reach us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seen this way, even an ordinary result can deepen our gratitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People should not consider important only the work that tires them personally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Someone else&#8217;s effort is real even when it is unseen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recognizing it can change the language we use in our relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before criticizing, we can see what has been done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside something we find lacking, we can also acknowledge the effort given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This care does not mean abandoning truthfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It means making our assessment fairer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same justice is needed in disagreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We may not think the same way as the other person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even so, insulting their belief will not take the conversation somewhere useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can try to build our words on evidence and clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we notice that anger is directing us, we can examine our own attitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because it is possible to behave wrongly even while defending a truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The idea we defend does not make every method we use right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thinking about intention and behavior together is necessary here too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is not enough to say that we aim for something good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How we treat others on the way to that goal also matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Supplication, effort, gratitude, and truthfulness are not disconnected topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They meet within our daily lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While taking responsibility for what we want, we can also appreciate what we have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Question: What step that falls to us have we taken today for the good we ask of
