7:43

Salaam all,

WanazaAAna ma fee sudoorihim min ghillin tajree min tahtihimu alanharu waqaloo alhamdu lillahi allathee hadana lihatha wama kunna linahtadiya lawla an hadanaAllahu laqad jaat rusulu rabbina bialhaqqi wanoodoo an tilkumu aljannatu oorithtumooha bima kuntum taAAmaloona

The Aya says:
And We removed what in their chests of bitterness, rivers run underneath them and they said: “Praise belongs to Allah who guided us to this as were not to guide ourselves if not that He guided us. The envoys of our nurturing Lord came by the binding truth.” And they were called that this is paradise for you, you were made to inherit it by what you used to do.

My personal note:
There are several themes in this Aya. One important one is that the guiding came from Allah as he opened their hearts but Allah guided them as a reward to their sincere intention to move on the right path and start working on it. This is opposed to people who do not sincerely look for the right path and do not holeheartedly work towards it.

May Allah open our hearts, minds and energies to always be working towards the right path so that He will always be our guide in every step we make, Amen.
