The Blessed Societies and the Nations


Different people have different notions of blessings but as far as the Quran is concerned, it has mentioned the following notable signs of the truly blessed societies and nations:
1.       Peace and security for all the people (with no fear of harm from others)[1]
2.       Abundance in provision of the means of subsistence for all the people (with no fear of hunger)[2]
3.       Social harmony (instead of dissension and discord)[3]
4.       Sovereignty (instead of slavery and servitude)[4]
5.       Predominance in excellence over the contemporaries[5]
