Not Equal Are They.

لاَ يَسْتَوِي أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ وَأَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِ أَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِ هُمْ الْفَائِزُونَ

Not equal are the dwellers of the Fire and the dwellers of Paradise. It is the dwellers of Paradise that will be successful. [Hashr:20] 

وَمَا يَسْتَوِي الأَعْمَى وَالْبَصِيرُ

Not alike are the blind (disbelievers) and the seeing (believers). [Fatir: 19]

وَلاَ الظُّلُمَاتُ وَلاَ النُّورُ

Nor are the darkness (disbelief) and the light (belief). [Fatir:20]

وَلاَ الظِّلُّ وَلاَ الْحَرُورُ

Nor are the shade and the sun’s heat. [Fatir: 21]

وَمَا يَسْتَوِي الأَحْيَاءُ وَلاَ الأَمْوَاتُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُسْمِعُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَمَا أَنْتَ بِمُسْمِعٍ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ

Nor are the living (believers) and the dead (disbelievers). Verily, Allah makes whom He wills to hear, but you cannot make hear those who are in graves. [Fatir:22]

أَفَمَنْ كَانَ مُؤْمِنًا كَمَنْ كَانَ فَاسِقًا لاَ يَسْتَوُونَ

Is then he who is a believer like him who is a Fasiq (disbeliever and disobedient to Allah)? Not equal are they. [sajdah:18]

أَمَّنْ هُوَ قَانِتٌ آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ سَاجِدًا وَقَائِمًا يَحْذَرُ الآخِرَةَ وَيَرْجُو رَحْمَةَ رَبِّهِ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي الَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ وَالَّذِينَ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ إِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ أُوْلُوا الأَلْبَابِ

Is one who is obedient to Allah, prostrating himself or standing (in prayer) during the hours of the night, fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the Mercy of His Lord (like one who disbelieves?)? Say: “Are those who know equal to those who know not?” It is only men of understanding who will remember. [Zumar:9]

وَمَا يَسْتَوِي الأَعْمَى وَالْبَصِيرُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَلاَ الْمُسِيءُ قَلِيلاً مَا تَتَذَكَّرُونَ

And not equal are the blind and those who see, nor are (equal) those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah), and do righteous good deeds, and those who do evil. Little do you remember! [Ghafir: 58]

--

The shaytaan and his agents have waged a war on us, and we are not even aware that we are standing amidst shooting fire...

Let the Qur'aan be our guide, let the Sunnah be our wisdom.

Let the dhikr of Allah ta'aala quench our thirst, let our love for Him satiate our hunger.

Let His Mercy be our garment when it is cold, and His wrath something we never encounter.
