PAPER CUT 📄✂️

 

paper cut (plural paper cuts): a wound caused by a piece of paper or any thin, sharp material which can slice through a person's skin

Did you know that SKIN is the largest organ of our body. The skin is made up of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis and subcutis.

These paper cuts that I keep on getting (I don't know why, but I get these easily, maybe my skin is thin compared to others 😅), they hurt. Even they were small, they still hurt.

It was recently discovered that the brain does not act as a pain receptor felt by the body but the skin. And could we imagine what it felt when all of our skin is burnt completely? 

🌹 Surely those who reject Our signs, We will cast them into the Fire. Whenever their skin is burnt completely, We will replace it so they will ˹constantly˺ taste the punishment. Indeed, Allah is Almighty, All-Wise (Surah  An-Nisa 4:56)

This verse explained that the time will come when people who reject the religion of Allah will be put into hell and tortured in the form of skin changes. when evidenced by the very combustion process, the sensory nerve endings will be damaged.

This results in the skin no longer being able to receive stimulation. Therefore, in hell Allah replaces the skin of the inhabitants of hell with a new skin which is intended to renew sensory nerve endings so that they feel the torments of hell again.

Yet, we still sin and unafraid of the consequences in the Hereafter. We could not help it. We just being human, that is our nature. We err, we make mistakes. We could not avoid it. We are imperfect. In fact, nothing in this world is perfect.  Only Allah is As-Subbooh, The Perfect, The Supremely Glorified.

So, what should we do? It is obvious isn't it? We repent, we ask Allah for forgiveness. No matter how much we sin, never stop asking Allah for forgiveness. Do remember this lovely Quran's verse;

🌹 Say, ˹O Prophet, that Allah says,˺ “O My servants who have exceeded the limits against their souls! Do not lose hope in Allah’s mercy, for Allah certainly forgives all sins.He is indeed the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful (Surah Az-Zumar 39:53)

So, never ever lose hope. Try our best to become the best Muslim version of ourselves. As long as we remember Allah, He will remember us and guide us to the right path.

 🌹 إِنَّ هُدَى ٱللَّهِ هُوَ ٱلۡهُدَىٰۖ

Indeed, the guidance of Allah is the [only] guidance (Surah Al-An'am 6:71)

🌹 فَٱذْكُرُونِىٓ أَذْكُرْكُمْ وَٱشْكُرُوا۟ لِى وَلَا تَكْفُرُونِ

remember Me; I will remember you. And thank Me, and never be ungrateful (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:152)
