UmIbrahim ’s Reflection on Surah Al-Bayyinah:8

In a Hadith Qudsi Allah says: 'Whoever harms a wali of Mine, I declare war upon him. My slave draws nearer to Me with nothing more beloved to Me than that which I have made obligatory upon him. And then My slave continues to draw near to Me with optional acts (nawafil) until I love him. And when I love him I become the ear with which he hears, and the eye with which he sees, and the hand with which he smites, and the foot with which he walks. And if he seeks My protection I will surely grant him My protection. And if he seeks My victory I will surely grant him the victory.'

Imagine being Allah's beloved? Can there be a greater honour?! Ya Rab, make us all from your most beloved servants. Ameen

When I love him,' Allah says, 'I become the ear with which he hears, and the eye with which he sees, and the hand with which he smites, and the foot with which he walks.' What does that mean?

Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani in his great commentary, the greatest commentary of commentaries of Bukhari, Fath al-Bari, has a long discussion on this. He says, 'Some of the ulama say, that when Allah says he becomes the eye with which you see, He means you only see the things that He has commanded you to see. And when he becomes the foot with which you walk that means you only go to the things that He has commanded you to go to.' That’s one interpretation.

Others say this is about obedience. That is to say, you only use these outward faculties that you have in obedience to Him, Exalted and Most High. So you’re conforming to the divine command.

SubhanAllah! Ya Rab, drive all our faculties purely in your obedience and make us from these beloved slaves you have described. Ameen

جَزَاؤُهُمْ ... عظم ثواب المؤمنين يوم القيامة، وما كان عند الله فلا يضيع، وعطاؤه تعالى وافر.

خَالِدِينَ ... أهل الجنة مقيمون فيها، وليس في الجنة موت ولا خروج منها، ومن تمام النعيم الخلود فيه.

رَّضِيَ ... تحقق رضى الله تعالى على المؤمنين يوم القيامة، وإثبات صفة الرضى لله كما يليق بجلاله.

وَرَضُواْ... نعيم أهل الجنة لا مطلب فوقه، وعظم ثواب الله تعالى، ومنع التسخّط من قضائه.

خَشِيَ ... خشية الله هي ذروة الأمر، وسبب عطائه، والحث على خشية الله تعالى دون غيره.

* إذا أردت أن تغمر نفسَك الطمأنينةُ فارضَ عن قدر الله فيها، وعن إنعامه عليها، فكيف تتجاسر بطلب الرّضا عنك، وأنت لا ترضى عنه؟!

* لولا الخشية لم يترك العبد المناهي والمعاصي، ولا استعدَّ ليومٍ يؤخذ فيه بالنواصي، فهي مِلاكُ السعادة الأبدية، وقِوامُ الفوز بالرتب العليَّة.

* رضوا عن ربهم فيما شَرَع لهم وقضى، مُذعِنين لأمره، مسلِّمين لقضائه، فقبل منهم ورضي عنهم، وبوأهم مقاعد الخلود في جنات النعيم.

لأنهم لم يبق لهم أمنية إلا أعطاهموها، مع علمهم أنه متفضل في جميع ذلك، لا يجب عليه لأحد شيء، ولا يقدره أحد حق قدره؛ فلو أخذ الخلق بما يستحقونه أهلكهم. وأعظم نعمه عليهم ما منّ عليهم به من متابعتهم رسول الله؛ فإن ذلك كان سببًا لكل خير. البقاعي: 22/198. السؤال: ما دلالة قوله: (ورضوا عنه)؟

الخشية ملاك السعادة الحقيقية والفوز بالمراتب العلية؛ إذ لولاها لم تُترك المناهي والمعاصي، ولا استُعِد ليوم يؤخذ فيه بالأقدام والنواصي. الألوسي: 15/431. السؤال: ما معنى الخشية؟

Bismillah

Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him.

Recently I read a hadith about Omar ra and I understood a little bit more about his taqwa.

In Sahih Bukhari 3912 Narrated Ibn `Umar:

`Umar bin Al-Khattab fixed a grant of 4000 (Dirhams) for every Early Emigrant (i.e. Muhajir) and fixed a grant of 3500 (Dirhams) only for Ibn `Umar.

Somebody said to `Umar, 'Ibn `Umar is also one of the Early Emigrants; why do you give him less than four-thousand?' `Umar replied, 'His parents took him with them when they migrated, so he was not like the one who had migrated by himself.

This is the level of Taqwa they had . If we want pleasure of Allah and if we want high level in janna

Nihaar Nabi

1y agoAl-Bayyinah (98:8)

In reflecting on this ayah (8)from Surah Al-Bayyinah, it's clear that Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala does not promise us worldly luxuries in exchange for following His commands and avoiding His prohibitions. Instead, He promises us something far greater – eternal paradise, where we will reside in gardens beneath which rivers flow. This reward is far superior to any temporary pleasures of this world. The ultimate blessing is that Allah will be pleased with us, and we will be pleased with Him. This divine contentment and eternal abode are the true rewards for those who fear and obey their Lord.

Some random reflections on these set of ayat from tafsir Al sa3di that stood out to me: 1. You cannot attain fear of Allah except by knowledge and that is understood by the restrictive nature of the verse in surah Fatir, and then surah Bayinnah clarifies the pleasure of Allah and his paradise is those who fear Him so no muslim can afford to not know Allah, His deen his final message properly even if he takes the route of dawah, giving charity, or helping the weak as his path to Allah. But that knowledge needs sincerity to be effective and leading to the fear of Allah. 2. Those who are racing to Allah in good are reminded it is only by Allahs permission lest they attribute it to themse
