﷽
Qur’anic lessons from the Prophets
Allah ﷻ says
قَالَ أَصۡحَـٰبُ مُوسَىٰۤ إِنَّا لَمُدۡرَكُونَ▪قَالَ كَلَّاۤۖ إِنَّ مَعِیَ رَبِّی سَیَهۡدِینِ
The companions of Musa said “Surely we are overtaken”. [Musa عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ] said, “No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me.”
[26:61-62]
Meaning, nothing of what you fear will happen to you, for Allah ﷻ is the One Who commanded me to bring you here, and He does not go back on His promise.’
And then you have Yusuf عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ when Zuleikha tried to seduce him
قَالَ مَعَاذَ اللهِ
He (Yusuf) said “I seek refuge in Allah!”
[12:23]
What about Ibrahim عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ who said
الَّذِي خَلَقَنِي فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ
Who created me and He guided me.
وَالَّذِي هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِي وَيَسْقِين
and it is He who feeds me and gives me to drink.
وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ
And when I am sick, it is He who cures me.
وَالَّذِي يُمِيتُنِي ثُمَّ يُحْيِينِ
And it He who will cause me to die and then will bring me to life.
And Who, I hope, will forgive me my faults on the Day of Recompense.
[26:78-82]
The lesson given here, is to rely only on Allah ﷻ, especially when treading the path of righteousness.
Because the path of righteousness is hard,
As Shaytaan prioritises you.
As Prophet ﷺ said “Verily, Shaytaan lies in wait for the son of Adam in his paths and he lies in wait before the path of Islam.”
[Sunan An-Nasa’i 3134]
Shaytaan doesn’t need to focus on the one who is already astray, rather he focuses on the ones who seek Allah’s pleasure.
And sometimes Shaytaan comes to us through friends and family and close ones, to dissuade us.
This renders us alone in the path of Righteousness.
But who needs another companion on this path, when the companion already present is Allah ﷻ?
The Dunya is a distraction, nothing more and to remove yourself from it is difficult, but you’ll have obeyed the Prophetic Advice
كُنْ فِي الدُنيَا كَأَنَكَ غَرِيب
Be in the world as if you are a stranger!
[Sahih Al-Bukhari 6053]
The Path to Jannah requires sacrifice!
May Allah ﷻ make us among those who rely on Him and may He ﷻ forgive all our shortcomings.
آمِيْن يَارَبَّ الْعَالَمِينْ
