In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful The Bestower of Mercy
Allaah [The Most High] said:
‘’Have We not made for him a pair of eyes. And a tongue and a pair of lips. And shown him the two ways.’’ [Al-Balad: Ayaat: 8-10]
Imaam Sadi (rahimahullaah) stated concerning the statement of Allaah: ‘’Have We not made for him a pair of eyes. And a tongue and a pair of lips’’ for beautification, sight, speech and other necessary benefits. So these are worldly blessings. Then He (The Most High) stated about the Religious blessings: ‘’And shown him the two ways;’’ That is: The path of good and the path of evil, and He clarified for him (the path of) guidance and (the path of) misguidance….[1]
Imaam Ibnul qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:
He (The Most High) mentioned two eyes through which one sees and gets acquainted with the visible things, and He mentioned the two paths, and they are the paths of good and evil. He mentioned a tongue and two lips, and they are organs utilised for learning. So He (The Most High) mentioned the tools of knowledge and the organs utilised for learning, and He made them signs that leads one to (recognise Him), and as signs of His Power, His Oneness (in everything He does) and His blessings by way of which He informs His slaves about His (favours, blessings etc).[2]
