Question:
What is the correct interpretation of this verse: [Al-Dhuha:11]?
Answer:
That is, he praises Allah, saying that he is in a good state and that he is in a state of blessing, and he does not deny the blessing of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), but rather he mentions the blessing of Allah, and that he is in a good state and blessing, according to the amount of good he has.
Q: Is it the blessing of religion or clothing?
A: It is the blessing of religion and worldly life.
Q: Sometimes Allah blesses a person with a blessing, and he talks about it a lot?
A: If he does not intend showing off (riya'), he says: Praise be to Allah, I am among those who maintain the prayer, among those who fast Ramadan, among those who performed Hajj to the House, and praise be to Allah, by way of speaking about the blessings of Allah, not by way of showing off; so there is no blame on him. Or he says: I buy and sell, and praise be to Allah, I seek out what is lawful, and I stay away from riba (usury or interest) and deception, and the like of that, so that in this there is advice for others.
Q: What if he fears those who hear him?
A: The point is that if the need and public benefit call for speaking, he speaks, and he says: I seek refuge in Allah from the evil of an envier when he envies, so he does not fear except his Lord, and he seeks refuge in Allah from the evil of every evil-doer, and he speaks about the blessings of Allah so that he does not deny the blessing of Allah upon him.
Q: What about a person whose habit is to say: I, I, and I? Should he be advised?
A: The point is that his intention should not be showing off (riya'), but rather he speaks about the blessings of Allah to give thanks for them and to encourage people to seek sustenance, and that he is in a good state, and that he does not need what they have.
