In this world, there are many who worship God, and many who rebel against and disobey Him. Some are submissive to the Divine Will, while others live in defiance. Many persist in disbelief and denial, yet God remains silent—because this world has been created as a test.

That is why it does not happen that if we lie, a blister immediately appears on our tongue; or if we commit a sin with our hand, our hand becomes paralyzed; or if we look at something forbidden, our vision is instantly taken away.

If we reflect deeply, we realize that God’s silence is a great mercy. He is silent and waiting—perhaps His servants may turn back in repentance. Moreover, He has granted us the Quran for guidance, which, despite its outward quietude, is a living message.

Tragically, we either do not read the Quran at all, or if we do, we read it without understanding. This “silent” word informs us of our Lord’s likes and dislikes. It is the speech through which the Lord of all worlds, the Sovereign of the universe, wishes to speak to us. Who could be more sincere in goodwill toward us than Him?

Yet it is unfortunate that we pay no heed to the Quran. We make countless excuses—that we have no time, or that we are incapable of reading it, or that we cannot understand it.

But we must remember this:
Before the day arrives when God’s silence will be broken—
That day, which the Quran describes: when it comes into view, every nursing mother will forget her child, and every pregnant woman will miscarry out of fear.
On that day, a call will ring out from God: “O guilty ones, stand apart today!”

Let us not be among those about whom the Prophet will complain:
“O my Lord, my people had abandoned this Quran.” [Quran, 25:30]

Before the time for action runs out, we must discover the “Silent God,” choose His obedience, read His Word with understanding, and act upon it—
Lest we, too, be counted among the losers on the Day of Judgment.

May God grant us the ability to prepare for the Hereafter. Amen.
