Dhul qa'dah third message
That He might have Certitude!
In the name of Allah the Most Beneficent, Most Merciful
Do you remember our slogan?
Let us help each other treat the shobohat (vagueness) that stand as an obstacle between us and Allah. Let us plant the Certainty seed deep in our hearts’ gardens to end up with a peaceful heart.
Certainty is the cure for our SELF. Hopefully, we can start the ten days with a renewed ‘faith’. We all believe in the great reward given for working hard in those ten days. We all know the best deeds to be done on those ten days. We need to be DEEPLY CERTAINED this year. Deep Certainty motivates for hard work, dusts off laziness, awakens whatever died in your hearts and returns us to the straight path.
Let us study the reasons for Certainty:
Allah –the all Mighty- said:
{Thus did we show Ibrahim (Abraham) the kingdom of the heavens and the earth that he be one of those who have Faith with certainty} (alAnaam:75)
The required contemplation needed here is summarized in three points:
1. Contemplate on the perfect names and attributes of Allah
2. Contemplate on your SELF: { And also in your ownselves. Will you not then see?} (Adh-Dhariyat:21)
3. Contemplate on Allah’s messages. { And We never punish until We have sent a Messenger (to give warning).}(al-Israa:15)
Let us start by contemplating on Allah’s names and attributes; and how to implant the certainty using them
Let us contemplate on a beautiful name of His all Mighty The BENIGNANT “Al-Lateef1” .. l
Let us worship Allah by this name.
Let us learn, believe and get certain about the meanings derived from that name in our lives.
The scholars said: Being ‘Al Lateef’ rotates around three meanings
Allah “Al Lateef” means:
Allah knows the most minute details of every secret and all the mysterious aspects of the invisible, then He conveys them benignlyand tenderly to the deserving.. Furthermore, when benignity of the Divine Acts blends with the subtlety of omniscience, then this is the perfect meaning of the Arabic word lutf which means benignity. The finest details of Allah’s Graciousness and Benignity to His creatures are countless, He is the all gentle in His actions. It was said He is being kind TO them and UNTO them. He is kind to them { Allah is very Gracious and Kind to His slaves.} (Ash-Shura:19) and Allah is kind unto them { Certainly, my Lord is the Most Courteous and Kind unto whom He wills.} (Yusuf:100)
Allah is the most gracious to His servants, and close to them. He is nearer to every being than its own self. He treats the believers with kindness, mercy and beneficence. He guides the wrongdoers (no matter how wrong they were) to repentance and forgiveness. Allah is kind to his servants knowing their detailed status..
The all-knowing Omniscience of Allah encompasses everything; the hidden, the invisible and the manifest; Allah is the All-Aware of the core and essence of things.{ Should not He Who has created know? And He is the Most Kind and Courteous (to His slaves), All-Aware (of everything).}(Al-Mulk:14)
{ O my son! If it be (anything) equal to the weight of a grain of mustard seed, and though it be in a rock, or in the heavens or in the earth, Allah will bring it forth. Verily, Allah is Subtle (in bringing out that grain), Well-Aware (of its place).}(Lukman:16)
He eases life hardships on them.
He answers their supplications.
His beneficence reaches them from where they least expect. His bounties are all clear; no one can deny them except the ungrateful.
He is the one who sends their provisions from where they least expect { See you not that Allah sends down water (rain) from the sky, and then the earth becomes green? Verily, Allah is the Most Kind and Courteous, Well-Acquainted with all things.}(Al-haj:63) { Allah is very Gracious and Kind to His slaves. He gives provisions to whom He wills. And He is the All-Strong, the All-Mighty.}(Ash-Shura:19)
The believer will receive an easy reckoning only by Allah’s bounty and mercy. Others will receive their reckoning according to His wisdom and just.
The most beautiful words that I read as a meaning to being “Al lateef” was mentioned by ‘Al Salmei’ : Being al Lateef means erasing the sins from the memory of His servants on Judgment Day so as not to feel alas. Also Al Lateef is being Gracious to His servants making Himself familiar to them.
Feel with me this grace. Love Allah. Remember those meanings. Write in a notebook a realistic scene that made you feel the name of Allah Al Lateef.
Prove your certainty in His name Al Lateef by repenting from a sin you commit out of your ignorance of Allah. Tell yourself: Should not He Who has created know? And He is the Most Kind and Courteous (to His slaves). Allah has a right on you: you don’t choose after His choice, to be satisfied with His treatment; as we are His servants and He can do whatever He desires with us.
Let us supplicate Allah to be Lateef to us.
Worship Allah by his name “Al Lateef”. Wait for the next message that will include beautiful words from Ibn al Qayem describing Allah -The BENIGNANT. This will help believers to strengthen their belief.
Don’t forget:
Did you read: The Greatest Days of Life? I hope you do
That He might have Certitude!
In the name of Allah the Most Beneficent, Most Merciful
And may peace and blessings be upon the prophet, his family, his companions, and the ones that follow his path.
My Beloved in Allah …
My Beloved in Allah …
O Allah give us from your apprehension what prevents us from committing sins, and from your worship what makes us reach your heaven and from certainty what eases life's disasters on us.
O Allah allow us to enjoy our hearing, vision, and strength as long as you allowed us to live.. and enable it to be our heritage
O Allah allow us to revenge whoever treated us unjustly, and give us victory over our enemies
O Allah Don’t let us love anyone but You. Don’t let our hearts attach to anyone or anything but You
My Beloved …
