اعوذ بالله من الشيطن الرجيم
Surah 22. Al-Hajj, Verse 38:
إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُدَافِعُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ خَوَّانٍ كَفُورٍ
Translation:
Truly, Allah defends those who believe. Verily! Allah likes not any treacherous ingrate to Allah [those who disobey Allah but obey Shaitan (Satan)].
From Tafsir Ibn Kathir
ReplyDeleteHere Allah tells us that He defends His servants who put their trust in Him and turn to Him in repentance; He protects them from the the worst of evil people and the plots of the sinners; He protects them, guards them and supports them, as He tells us elsewhere:
﴿أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِكَافٍ عَبْدَهُ﴾
(Is not Allah sufficient for His servant) ﴿39:36﴾
﴿وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَـلِغُ أَمْرِهِ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدْراً﴾
(And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, then He will suffice him. Verily, Allah will accomplish his purpose. Indeed Allah has set a measure for all things) ﴿65:3﴾.
﴿إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُحِبُّ كُلَّ خَوَّانٍ كَفُورٍ﴾
(Verily, Allah likes not any treacherous ingrate) means, He does not like any of His servants who bear these characteristics, i.e., treachery in covenants and promises whereby a person does not do what he says, and ingratitude is to deny the blessings, whereby one does not acknowledge or appreciate them.
Subhan Allah! What a great promise!
ReplyDeleteSometimes we feel so weak that we are unable to defend ourselves, unable to speak for ourselves, unable to stand for ourselves, feeling lonely but what a great encouragement from Allah. Alhamdolillah. Allah defends those who believe. So basically when we are feeling lonely, our belief is shaken because who could be truer than Allah and Allah said He is going to defend who believe. Oh Allah help us believe. Oh Allah help us put our trust in You. Ameen. Also a reminder that Allah doesn't love treacherous and ungrateful persons. So when we are feeling lonely and not defended, then we need to check if we are becoming treacherous and ungrateful.
Subhanallah! This aya hits the mind & soul.
ReplyDeleteJazakallah!
