â [ Quranic Verse revealed on Arafah , It is the day on which the religion was perfected and Allahâs Favour was completed ] [ Shaytan & Disbelievers gave up hope that Muslims would revert to their religion ]
*** ... .. .This day, those who disbelieved have given up all hope of your religion; so fear them not, but fear Me. This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion. Quran 5:3. ***
Ibn Jarir recorded that Harun bin `Antarah said that his father said,
*** "When the Ayah(5:3), was revealed, during the great day of Hajj [the Day of `Arafah, the ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah] `Umar cried. The Prophet said, `What makes you cry' He said, `What made me cry is that our religion is being perfected for us. Now it is perfect, nothing is perfect, but it is bound to deteriorate.' The Prophet said, «صÙدÙÙÙت» [You have said the truth.]'' ***
And if only the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) had believed (in Muhammad SAW) and warded off evil (sin, ascribing partners to Allah) and had become Al-Muttaqun (the pious) We would indeed have blotted out their sins and admitted them to Gardens of pleasure (in Paradise). |[Qur'an|5:65]|
"And in Allah (Alone) let the believers, put their trust.'' (14:11)
"... Then when you have taken a decision, put your trust in Allah...'' (3:159)
"And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, then He will suffice him". (65:3)
"The believers are onl...Expand for more
y those who, when Allah is mentioned, feel a fear in their hearts; and when His Verses (this Qur'an) are recited unto them, they (i.e., the Verses) increase their Faith; and they put their trust in their Rabbi (Alone).'' (8:2)
The great scholar, Ibn Taymiyah said: âA calamity that makes you turn to Allah is better for you than a blessing which makes you forget the remembrance of Allah.â
Praise be to Allah.
Allah, may He be blessed and exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
âit may be that you dislike a thing and Allah brings through it a great deal of goodâ
[Al-Nisaâ 4:19]
âand it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not knowâ
[Al-Baqarah 2:216].
It was narrated that Ibn âAbbas said: I was riding behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) one day and he said: âO boy, I shall teach you some words. Be mindful Allah and He will take care of you. Be mindful of Allah and He will protect you. If you ask then ask of Allah, and if you seek help then seek help from Allah. Know that if the nation were to gather together to benefit you in some way, they would not benefit you except in something that Allah has decreed for you, and if they were to gather together to harm you in some way, they would not harm you except in something that Allah has decreed for you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried.â Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi (2516).
âand live with them honorably. If you dislike them, it may be that you dislike a thing and Allah brings through it a great deal of goodâ
[Al-Nisaâ 4:19].
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said
"If anyone continually asks pardon(forgiveness), Allah will appoint for him a way out of every distress, and a relief from every anxiety, and will provide for him(even) from where he did not imagine"
[Abu Dawud Book 8, Number 1513]
Inna Lillahi wa inna ilayhi Rajiâun â âTo Allah we belong, and to Him is our return.â (Surah Al Baqarah 2:156)".
