Those who believe in the messenger, honor him, help him and follow the light sent with him will be successful

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم


Al-A'raf 7:157

ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَّبِعُونَ ٱلرَّسُولَ ٱلنَّبِىَّ ٱلْأُمِّىَّ ٱلَّذِى يَجِدُونَهُۥ مَكْتُوبًا عِندَهُمْ فِى ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةِ وَٱلْإِنجِيلِ يَأْمُرُهُم بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَىٰهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْمُنكَرِ وَيُحِلُّ لَهُمُ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْخَبَٰٓئِثَ وَيَضَعُ عَنْهُمْ إِصْرَهُمْ وَٱلْأَغْلَٰلَ ٱلَّتِى كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْۚ فَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِهِۦ وَعَزَّرُوهُ وَنَصَرُوهُ وَٱتَّبَعُوا۟ ٱلنُّورَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُنزِلَ مَعَهُۥٓۙ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ 

Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered prophet, whom they find written in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is right and forbids them what is wrong and makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evil and relieves them of their burden and the shackles which were upon them. So they who have believed in him, honored him, supported him and followed the light which was sent down with him -  it is those who will be the successful.

_______duaas I made after reading this ayah______
اهدنا الصراط المستقيم


اَللّٰهُمَّ فَقِّهْنِیْ فِی الدِّيْنِ

O Allah! Grant me the understanding of Deen.


( صحیح البخا ری،کتاب الوضوئ، باب وضع الماء عند الخلاء : 143)

(اَللّٰهُمَّ) یَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوْبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِیْ عَلَی دِيْنِكَ

(O Allah!) O one who turns the hearts make my heart steadfast upon Your Deen.

( سنن الترمذی، کتاب الدعوات ،[دعا :یا مقلب القلوب…] : 3522 ) صحیح

اَللّٰهُمَّ مُصَرِّفَ الْقُلُوْبِ صَرِّفْ قُلُوْبَنَا عَلَی طَاعَتِكَ

O Allah! The One who turns the hearts, turn my heart towards Your obedience.


( صحیح مسلم،کتاب القدر، باب تصریف اللّٰہ القلوب کیف شاء : 6750 )

Followed by the lowest

Assalamoalaekum

I am sharing an ayah below which inspired me today. If it is of any benefit then all praise to Allah. All the shortcomings are due to me.

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
--------
 

قَالُوٓا أَنُؤْمِنُ لَكَ وَاتَّبَعَكَ الْأَرْذَلُونَ
"They said, Should we believe you while you are followed by the lowest [class of people]?"
(Al Quran, Ash-Shu'araa 26: Verse 111)

-------

Should we believe you while you are followed by the lowest? This was the statement of people of Prophet Nuh عليه السلام as the people in lower class accepted islam and even those were few.

And this is the story today. Nobody gets inspired if a person in lower class accepts Islam. But if a strong personality in terms of wealth or status accepts Islam, it becomes a news. SubhanAllah.


It reminds me of human nature that when a human is going through difficult time and emotionally or physically tested, it is easier for him or her to see and feel the truth. And when Allah removes that difficulty,  it gets harder to see the truth.


It reminds me to make duaa that Allah gives me the sight and hearing to see and hear when I am strong in worldly sense.

It also reminds to make duaa that Allah doesn't put us in a scenario of lowest class and that Allah make us an inspiration for others to believe instead of a trial.

It also reminds not to look down upon people in lower class as we don't know who is Allah's favorite.

Oh Allah save us from thoughts of actions of nations that passed away and being destroyed.
Ameen.
