Trials
The Noble Qur'an Al-'Ankaboot 29:2-3
Do
people think that they will be left alone because they say:
"We believe," and will not be tested.
And We
indeed tested those who were before them. And Allâh will
certainly make (it) known (the truth of) those who are
true, and will certainly make (it) known (the falsehood of)
those who are liars, (although Allâh knows all that before
putting them to test).
Hadith - Al-Tirmidhi 1562, Narrated Sa'd
When the Prophet (peace be upon him) was asked which people
suffered the greatest affliction, he replied, "The
prophets, then those who come next to them, then those who
come next to them. A man is afflicted in keeping his
religion. If he is firm in his religion his trial is
severe, but if there is weakness in his religion it is made
light for him, and it continues like that till he walks on
the earth having no sin."
[Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah and Darimi transmitted it, and
Tirmidhi said this is a hasan sahih tradition] |

Surah
Al-Mu'minun(23) Ayah 101-103
Then, when the Trumpet is blown, there will be no
kinship among them that Day, nor will they ask of one
another.
Then, those whose scales (of good deeds) are heavy, -
these, they are the successful.
And those whose scales (of good deeds) are light,
they are those who lose their ownselves, in Hell will they
abide. |
| In
The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
Surah
Al-Mu'minun(23) Ayah 88-89
Say "In Whose Hand is the sovereignty of everything
(i.e. treasures of each and everything)? And He protects
(all), while against Whom there is no protector, (i.e. if
Allah saves anyone none can punish or harm him, and if Allah
punishes or harms anyone none can save him), if you know."
They will say: "(All that belongs) to Allah." Say:
"How then are you deceived and turn away from the truth?" |
Surah al-Qadr
(The Power)
Chapter 97: Verses 1-5
"Verily,
We have sent it (Quran) down in the Night of Al-Qadr
(Power).
And What will make you know what the Night of Al-Qadr
is?
The Night of Al-Qadr is better than a thousand months.
Therein descend the angels and the Spirit (Ruh) by their
Lord's permission with every matter.
In it there is peace until the appearance of dawn."
Commentary:
The
theme of this chapter of the Quran is to acquaint us with the
importance of the Quran and the role of the Night of Al-Qadr,
which falls in the last ten nights of Ramadan, plays in
connecting us with Allah. Al-Qadr could be
translated in several ways, all of which are interrelated in
meaning: Power, Decree, Glory, Destiny, etc.
Allah begins by stating
that He has sent the Quran down during the Night of Al-Qadr,
and it is a blessed night. The fact that this chapter is
placed, in the arrangement of the Quran, right after the
chapter "Al-'Alaq", the first five verses of which began
the process of revelation to the Prophet Muhammad in the cave
Hira, explains that this book was sent down in a
destiny-making night that changed the future of humanity!
The Night of
Decree has two implications: First, it is the night
during which the destinies of people and the Allah's creation
are decided. It is also the night when the times of death
and provisions are measured out, as Allah says about this night
in another chapter: "Therein is decreed every matter of
decree." [44:4] In other words, it is not an ordinary
night, but a night in which new decisions are being made and
the relationships of the believers with Allah strengthened and
refreshed.
No wonder, Allah
then emphasizes its importance in the following manner, "The
Night of Al-Qadr is better than a thousand months." And
as the Prophet (peace be upon him) once said, "...Whoever
is deprived of its good, then he has truly been deprived!"
[Ahmed and An-Nasaai]. Not only that, this night
can surely change our life forever, as the Prophet (pbuh)
further says, "Whoever stands (in prayer) during the
Night of Al-Qadr with faith and expecting reward (from Allah),
he will be forgiven for his previous sins." [Muslim]
Second, the
revelation of this Book and its revolutionary message is not
merely the revelation of a book, only to be used for academic
study or recited on certain occasions, but this revelation is
an event that will change the destiny of not only the Arabia,
but of the entire world!
Allah concludes by outlining some signs
of this Night: when the angels, peace, and blessings descend on
earth, surrounding the believers. In fact, as Mujahid (Rahimahullah)
said, "[On this Night] Peace is concerning every matter.
It is peace and security because Shaytan will not be able to do
any evil or any harm on this night."

Ibn Kathir", by Ibn
Kathir (Rahimahullah) and "Towards Understanding the Quran"

Surah
An-Nisa(4) Ayah 100
He who emigrates (from his home) in the Cause of
Allah, will find on earth many dwelling places and plenty to
live by. And whosoever leaves his home as an emigrant unto
Allah and His Messenger, and death overtakes him, his reward
is then surely incumbent upon Allah. And Allah is Ever
OftForgiving, Most Merciful. |
|
Surah
Al-Hijr(15) Ayah 98-99
So glorify the praises of your Lord and be of those
who prostrate themselves (to Him).
And worship your Lord until there comes unto you the
certainty (i.e. death). |
The Urgency
to have a Will
The Noble Qur'an - Al-Baqarah
2:180-182
It is prescribed for you, when death approaches any of you, if
he leaves wealth, that he make a bequest to parents and next of
kin, according to reasonable manners. (This is) a duty upon
Al-Muttaqûn (the pious - see V.2:2).
Then whoever changes the bequest after hearing it, the sin
shall be on those who make the change. Truly, Allâh is
All-Hearer, All-Knower.
But he who fears from a testator some unjust act or
wrong-doing, and thereupon he makes peace between the parties
concerned, there shall be no sin on him. Certainly, Allâh is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Hadith - Bukhari, Volume
4, Book 51, Number 1
Narrated Abdullah bin Umar:
Allah's Apostle said,
"It is not
permissible for any Muslim who has something to will to stay for
two nights without having his last will and testament written and
kept ready with him."

Hadith Qudsi .
I am as My servant thinks I am. I am with him when he makes
mention of Me. If he makes mention of Me to himself, I make
mention of him to Myself; and if he makes mention of Me in an
assembly, I make mention of him in an assemble better than it.
And if he draws near to Me an arm's length, I draw near to him a
fathom's length. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him at
speed.
When my servants ask thee concerning Me I am indeed close (to
them); I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth
on Me; let them also with a will listen to My call and believe in
Me; that they may walk in the right way. QURAN2/186
Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 8.627 Narrated byAisha

knew what I know, you would weep much and laugh little."
