Th...Assalam-u-alaekum brother,<BR/><BR/>May Allah reward you. <BR/>This ayah is very important, as it addresses a very common problem; that of the superiority complex of the religious. The foremost thing needed, when one embarks on the journey towards Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'la, is to have clear vision. Firstly, to recognize the great favor of Allah, and so one should be humble, thereby, not judging others, as you explained so well. But the point, that I find very interesting in this regard, is that one may be deluded that they are on Allah's path, but it may be nothing more than another ego-trip for them, where they are still in pursuit of hayati dunya at the expense of putting down others. Imam Ghazali explains that Al-Khabeer is the one who knows the inner dynamics of the outward. So in this regard, the ayah, at the end, reminds us that He knows the intricate psychology of outward deeds.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, just wanted to share the meaning of root word M-N-N; here is an excerpt from my notes.<BR/> The origin of it is to cut off. According to Raghib, the grace cuts off the needs as one who receives benefits is no more needy. Thus a kindness or grace or benefits cuts off the hunger. Al-Mannaan; the Great Benefector (Allah). And Allah knows best. <BR/><BR/>May Allah bless you in your efforts.sahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13301417056251133160noreply@blogger.com
