[A/I`mran 3:158] And whether you are killed or you die, towards Allah you will be gathered. [A/I`mran 3:159] So what a great mercy it is from Allah that you (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him), are lenient towards them; and if you had been stern and hardhearted (unsympathetic) they would have certainly been uneasy in your company; so forgive them and intercede for them and consult with them in the conduct of affairs; and when you decide upon something, rely upon Allah; indeed Allah loves those who trust (Him). [A/I`mran 3:160] If Allah supports you, no one can overcome you; and if He forsakes you, who is there who can then help you? And in Allah only should the Muslims trust. [A/I`mran 3:161] And it is unimaginable that any Prophet would hide something; and whoever hides it, will bring what he hid with him on the Day of Resurrection; then every soul will be paid in full for whatever it earned; and they will not be wronged. [A/I`mran 3:162] So is one who follows the will of Allah equal to one who has incurred the wrath from Allah and whose home is the fire? And what a wretched place to return! [A/I`mran 3:163] They are in different ranks before Allah; and Allah sees their deeds. [A/I`mran 3:164] Allah has indeed bestowed a great favour upon the Muslims, in that He sent to them a Noble Messenger (Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him) from among them, who recites to them His verses, and purifies them, and teaches them the Book and wisdom; and before it, they were definitely in open error. (The Holy Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him – is one of Allah’s greatest favours to mankind.) [A/I`mran 3:165] So will you say when disaster strikes
you, though you had struck them with twice as much, “Where has this come
from?” Say (to them, O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be
upon him), “It has come from yourselves”; indeed Allah is Able to do
all things. |
