In the name of Allah The Merciful The Compassionate Al Salam Alaikum Wa Rahmatu Allahi Wa BarakatuHu May peace be upon you and Allah's Mercy and His Blessings Ghira Allah, the Creator and Controller of this universe, Commanded His creation of the human beings to do certain actions. Allah offered the trust to the mountains, the earth, and the clouds, but they refused to accept it, being afraid of the consequences. Man accepted it, who was unjust and foolish. The result of man's acceptance of this trust is that Allah punishes the hypocrites (both male and female) and the idolaters (both male and female) and Allah turns in compassion to the believers (both male and female). Allah is Forgiving and Kind. Hadith in Bukhari: 8.829: ------- Narrated Al-Mughira: Sa'd bin Ubada said, "If I found a man with my wife, I would kill him with the sharp side of my sword." When the Prophet heard that he said, "Do you wonder at Sa'd's sense of ghira (self-respect)? Verily, I have more sense of ghira than Sa'd, and Allah has more sense of ghira than I." ------- This ghira is the sense of justice that one has when they see someone doing something wrong. For example you may have a sense of ghira if someone were to come and intentionally smash your computer for no reason. Allah, however, doesn't punish the person immediately. Allah sets a certain time period, a term, to give the person a chance to repent. When that time period expires the punishment of Allah hits that person in the midst of whatever that person is doing. Other times Allah calls them into account by a process of slow wastage. Sometimes Allah also causes a lighter punishment to affect a person in this world, before the severe punishment of the afterlife, so that person could return to doing good. If Allah were to hold everyone to account immdeiately for their wrongs, there wouldn't be a single creature left on the earth, but Allah sets a time period after which they can find no refuge from His punishment. Allah doesn't do any wrong to anyone, but some people do wrong to themselves. Even though some people do deserve lots of punishment, Allah forgives much. Allah has ordained when He Created the heavens and the earth, "My Mercy exceeds My punishment." Allah is indeed very Forgiving and Compassionate. That Compassion Allah gives to people that have compassion to the rest of Allah's creatures. Allah is All Encompassing in His Compassion and Forgivenss. I pray to Allah to have Forgiveness and Mercy, for He is the Most Excellent of those that have Mercy. I pray to Allah that He forgive me my faults and admit me into the company of those that He is pleased with. I pray to Allah to forgive me and the believing men and the believing women, and that He pass over their faults and accept the best of the actions that they have done. I pray to Allah to make all of us remember Him and be thankful to Him. Amin. Al Salam Alaikum Wa Rahmatu Allahi Wa BarakatuHu May peace be upon you and Allah's Mercy and His Blessings Ahmed |
