The Perfect Book - III
This is the Book; there
is no doubt in it, a guidance for those who fear Allah. Those who believe in
the unseen and keep up prayer and spend out of what We have given them. And who
believe in that which has been revealed to you and that which was revealed before
you and they are sure of what is yet to come. ---(Al-Baqara 2: 3-5).
By the grace of Allah,
Allah (swt) has given me the Tawfeeq today to continue on the same
subject of my sermons from the previous two Fridays. So, I stopped where, when
you go to the mosque, then you have to take your beauty with you too, i.e. in
this case, your Taqwa (fear of God, piety). The Quran has already
described this beauty as Taqwa. It is necessary that each person becomes
a Muttaqi (that is, someone who has the fear of Allah, who is pious),
otherwise it will be difficult for him/ her to keep the mosque prosperous, and
if the God-fearing people preserve the prosperity, freshness and peace of the
mosques, then there will be so many blessings in these mosques, beyond your
conception/ imagination.
Then Allah (swt) says
that it is these people who will have faith (Iman) in “what is yet to come”. Here, “what is yet to
come” is two-ways (i.e. has two interpretations) when we study (closely)
this verse. As you follow this verse, you will find that Allah says, “And
who believe in that which has been revealed to you and that which was revealed
before you and they are sure of what is yet to come (i.e. in the future).”
- Then, like I have already told you in my previous sermons, it refers to the
continuation of divine revelations and messengers after Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh),
those who will confirm this Quran, The Perfect Book of Allah.
