They would have found Allah Forgiving, Merciful


"And if, when they had wronged themselves, they had but come unto thee and asked forgiveness of Allah, and asked forgiveness of the messenger, they would have found Allah Forgiving, Merciful." Quaan 4:64
وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذ ظَّلَمُواْ أَنفُسَهُمْ جَاؤُوكَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُواْ اللَّهَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ الرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُواْ اللَّهَ تَوَّابًا رَّحِيمًا
النساء : ٦٤

O father of Zahrah, O Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that you delivered the Message comprehensively with no deficiency but I had wronged myself, forgive me for disappointing you and not following it completely, please ask the most Forgiving to forgive me and to bestow His mercy on me!

Life is merely a test:My Lord is generous/humiliating!

"When the human being is tested by his Lord, through blessings and joy, he says, 'My Lord is generous towards me.'

But if He tests him through reduction in provisions, he says, 'My Lord is humiliating me!'" Quraan 89:15-16

فَأَمَّا الإِنسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ

وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ

الفجر : ١٥-١٦

Wealthy people! Never ever think that Allah is happy with you thus you are wealthy! You are just being tested of how well you handle that wealth! Tested whether you will give charity or not? Tested whether you assist your family or not? You don't own the wealth, you merely own its responsibility! Watch out! You are being tested!

Needy people! Never ever think that Allah disregards you by not giving you much thus you are needy! You are being tested whether you will be patient or impatient! Whether will take the Haram way because the Halal way is miserable or remain in the Halal way in spite of the hardship! Whether your faith will shrink and worship will decline or will remain steadfast! Take it easy! You are being tested!

Allah loves those who are equitable

"Allah loves those who are equitable" Quraan 5:42

إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ
المائدة : ٤٢

Allah loves the equitable, the fair, the impartial.

How equitable?
"O you who believe, you shall be absolutely equitable, and observe Allah, when you serve as witnesses, even against yourselves, or your parents, or your relatives. Whether the accused is rich or poor, Allah takes care of both. Therefore, do not be biased by your personal wishes. If you deviate or disregard (this commandment), then Allah is fully Cognizant of everything you do." Quraan 4:135

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ كُونُواْ قَوَّامِينَ بِالْقِسْطِ شُهَدَاء لِلَّهِ وَلَوْ عَلَى أَنفُسِكُمْ أَوِ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالأَقْرَبِينَ إِن يَكُنْ غَنِيًّا أَوْ فَقِيرًا فَاللَّهُ أَوْلَى بِهِمَا فَلاَ تَتَّبِعُواْ الْهَوَى أَن تَعْدِلُواْ وَإِن تَلْوُواْ أَوْ تُعْرِضُواْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا
