Iman q & h 21

“Bismillahir Rahmannir Raheem”Al-Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil ‘Aalameen was Salaatu was- Salaamu ‘Alaa Sayidinaa Muhammadin wa Aalihi wa Asabihi Ajma ‘een (tauheed- risalat- ahkirat and islam-iman-ihsan)

If there are twenty of you firm and steadfast (in the event of war), they will overpower two hundred (combating disbelievers), and if (one) hundred of you are (steadfast), they will overpower (one) thousand of the (invading) disbelievers …..6/65

The people ask you about (the Hour of) Resurrection. Say: ‘Its knowledge is with Allah alone. And who has made you aware—it may be that the Last Hour has drawn near?’ …33/63-64

If they are the believers, (they should have known this fact and should have pleased the Messenger

[blessings and peace be upon him]

. Allah is pleased only if the Messenger

[blessings and peace be upon him]

is pleased because their pleasure is but one and the same).9/62

(These Verses) are a (public) declaration from Allah and His Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him) for all mankind on the day of the Great Pilgrimage that Allah is absolved of all obligations to the polytheists, and His Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him) too (is free from all obligations to them). …..9/74

… Allah took a firm covenant from the Prophets: ‘When I give you the Book and Wisdom, and then there comes to you the Messenger (who is exalted in glory above all and) who shall validate the Books you will have with you, you shall then, most certainly, believe in him and most surely help him.’ ….‘Do you affirm, and on this (condition) hold fast to My heavy covenant?’ All submitted: ‘We affirm.’ Allah said: ‘Bear witness then, and I am also with you amongst the witnesses.’3/81

And (this) will be the Day (when) We shall raise amongst every people one witness against them from themselves, and, (O Venerable Beloved,) We shall bring you as witness to all of them (communities and Messengers). 16/89

 (O Beloved!) Surely, you make neither the dead (i.e., the disbelievers deprived of the vitality of faith) hear your call nor the deaf (i.e., deprived of hearing the call of truth) while they are getting away (from you) turning their backs. Nor can you guide the blind (of heart, rescuing them) from their wrong path. (In fact) you make only them hear who (accepting your call) believe in Our Revelations. So it is they who are Muslims (and only they deserve to be called alive).27/80-81

Indeed, those who believe, then disbelieve and then believe again and reject faith once more and then advance further in denying faith, Allah will never (incline to) forgive them, nor guide them to the straight road.4/137

O Prophet! When the believing women appear in your presence to take the oath of allegiance that they will not set up anything as partner with Allah and will not steal, nor will they commit adultery, or kill their children, or bring false blame which they have invented between their hands and feet (i.e., will not deceive their husbands declaring some other’s baby as their own), or disobey you in (any) matter pertaining to law, then accept their allegiance and seek forgiveness for them from Allah. Surely, Allah is Most Forgiving, Ever-Merciful.16/12

O believers! Do not make friends with those on whom Allah has sent His wrath. Surely, they have despaired of the Hereafter as the disbelievers have despaired of those in graves.16/13

The believers are only those whose hearts, when Allah is mentioned (before them), are filled with awe (at the very idea of Allah’s Greatness and Might). And when His Revelations are recited to them, they .. increase their faith, and they (maintain) their trust in their Lord alone …… who establish Prayer, and spend (in the cause of Allah) …… For them are (high) ranks with their Lord and forgiveness and an honourable provision.8/2-4

Assuredly, those who keep their voices low in the presence of Allah’s Messenger (out of profound veneration and submissiveness), it is they whose hearts Allah has chosen for Godwariness and permeated with sincerity. For them alone is forgiveness and an immense reward.49/3

Anas ibn Malik reported: Whenever the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, returned from a journey and saw the walls of Medina from afar, he would quicken his pace and, if he was on an animal, he would make it gallop out of his love for Medina.(bukhari)

Hudhaifa reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, I fear for you that a man will recite the Quran until his delight is seen and he is wicked for Islam and he changes to whatever Allah wills for him, such that it is stripped from him and he throws it behind his back, assaulting his neighbor with the sword and accusing him of idolatry.” I said, “O Prophet of Allah, which one is closer to idolatry? The accused or the accuser?” The Prophet said, “Rather it is the accuser.”(ibn hibban)

“No one is patient with the rigors and hardship of Medina except that I will be an intercessor for him or a witness on his behalf.”(muslim)

Zaid ibn Thabit reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say, “Whoever makes the world his more important matter, Allah will confound his affairs and make poverty appear before his eyes and he will not get anything from the world except what has been decreed for him. Whoever makes the Hereafter his most important matter, Allah will settle his affairs and make him content in his heart and the world will come to him although he does not want it.”(ibn majah)

Ibadah should be done with freshness of heart, not an exhausting routine carried out in spite of fatigue. ‘Do those deeds which you can do easily, as Allah will not get tired [of giving rewards] till you get bored and tired of performing good deeds! … and the most beloved deed to Allah is the one which is done regularly even if it is little’ (Bukhari).

Quran

Just reciting –barakah (Every ayah is reflection/mazaar of sign of Allah)

Just understanding –ilm for guidance.

When nafs is involved –gumrah/misguidance

Reflection in the heart-baseerat/mushahida (veils of nafs and heart come in between Allah and his signs)

Reflection in the heart changes kaifiyat/haal and gives marifat (heart acts as a mirror)-awliya Allah

When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
