Take a Look

The acquaintance

Updated: Mar 27



God is an expert series: You are an expert that:

1 - Every science in the world has an expert. There is an expert in engineering, there is an expert in ophthalmology, there is an expert who appraises furniture and antiques, and so on. Even psychology has experts.

2 - God - the Almighty - in the Qur’an, His name, The Expert, is not mentioned except in the human soul from the inside before the outside, as if it were a clear mirror before the eyes of God, and He wants you, as a believer, to clear your view of things as well, so look with the eyes of God - the Almighty - and God is Most High and Most Knowing.


Allah says

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ وَأُنثَىٰ وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا ۚ إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ (13)

O people, We created you from a male and a female and made you into peoples and tribes that you may know one another, indeed, the most honorable of you in the sight of God is the most pious of you. Indeed, God is Knowing, Expert (13)

Here the noble verse does not address believers in God, even if they are included. Rather, it speaks instead to all people, foreigners and Arabs, red, black and white, with all their languages and dialects and their degree of knowledge or lack of knowledge:

An announcement of creation, in our world: whoever owns a piece of land: it is written on it that this land belongs to so-and-so’s family, and whoever owns a factory is like that, and whoever owns copy right like that, and no one has the right to defame someone who says he owns it if he has proof of that, and no one has opposed him, God Almighty, since 1445 years was the year when the Qur’an was revealed, and since then it declared the rights of ownership (of creation) and no one opposed it with anything more than the phrase “×our mother Nature” or “We created God in a machine” or something else, but no one has come out to this day and claimed creation for this humanity and these animals, birds, fish, and insects.. .etc


2 - Another declaration in the noble verse that God’s creation (fitra: sound creation) is made up of male and female and not of the same gender.

3- From male and female emerged peoples and tribes, not of the same gender

4 - Peoples with all their different civilizations, whether Arab or Western, or less civilized, and tribes less civilized than other peoples, and all these large numbers for one thing only (the acquaintance).

5 - Then he alerts you to a strange warning: In the midst of these huge crowds of peoples and tribes, the most honorable person among these crowds in the eyes of God (the most pious one). And piety in its meaning that is close to the soul: to put a protection between you and the punishment of God, that is, to avoid forbidden things.

Then he concludes the noble verse by saying that he is Knowing and Expert: Why? Because it is difficult to count large crowds of people, their numbers, their names, their colors, their number of languages, etc., what about knowing what is going on in the hearts of all of them. Or perhaps: you do not get to know anyone other than yourself because of jealousy, hatred, contempt, or your feeling that he has less faith than you. Or importance in life, God will hold you accountable for that.

The verse is clear that the different crowds came to this world for one reason ( the acquaintance), and each of us should take from the other what benefits him and leave what's not benefit him. Let us acquaintance.
