“This (Quran) is enlightenment for mankind and guidance and mercy for a people who have Faith with certainty. What! Do those who commit evils think that We shall hold them equal with those who believe and do righteous deeds - that equal will be their life and their death? Ill is the judgment that they make. And Allah created the heavens and earth with truth and so that every soul may be rewarded for what it has earned, and they will not be wronged.” ---(Surah Al Jathiya, 45: 21-23).
In my last Friday Sermon (04 September 2015), I told you that when Allah makes this honoured treatment with someone (where the person is under the refuge of Allah), then it is as if he/she becomes a beautiful plant that emerges, which flourished (in the Garden of Allah). He becomes a plant of good deeds, a plant that yields fruit. Allah protects him and keeps away from him all sorts of problems and dangers. Now you may find
that this seems to be very difficult in the beginning but with time this journey
becomes easy; where there is no difficulty. Therefore, all you have in your
possession, you present all with love and affection, in humility to Allah and
to Him you say:
“O Allah! I have nothing
more (of what I now present to You), but I certainly have love for Your
religion, and this love that I keep in me for Your religion (Islam) forces me
to present all that I have for Your cause.”
And when after addressing Allah
in this way you have patience, you will certainly find what treatment Allah shall
do with you!
