Tawheed is the key

Assalaamu ‘aleykum
i just read something beautiful that i wanna share.

we know there are many examples in the Qur’an and one of them talks about the hypocrites in surat al baqarah vers 17-20 where Allah says:”their likeness is as the likeness of one who kindled a fire, then when it lighted all around him Allah took away their light and left them in darkness. (so)they could not see. They are deaf,dumb and blind,so they return not (to the right path). Or like a rainstorm from the sky,wherein is darkness,thunder and lightening- to His saying-Allah have power over all things.”

Allah mentioned 2 things about the hypocrites. They kindled a fire for light and benefit so they benefited in material things from entering islam. But it had no noor-effect on their hearts, so Allah took away the light from the fire and left what was burning in it. and that is the example with the fire.

About their example with the water then He Ta’aala described them like those who got touched by rain with darkness,thunder and lightening. so he lost his power and he put his fingers in his ears and closed his eyes in fear that it would hit him, because the Qur’an with its commands, prohibitons etc came down upon them as the stunning thunder-claps.
