The End of All Journeys.

 

The Apostle as well the men of faith, believeth in what hath been revealed to him from Allah swt,

Believeth in Allah, His Malaikat, His Kitab and His Nabi and Rasul, they make no distinction between one and another of His Apostles.

 

Each time they hear the guidance of Allah swt., they obey and always seeking the forgiveness of Allah,

They believeth to Allah swt. is the end of all journeys.

On no soul doth Allah place burden greater than it can bear,

It gets every good that it earns and it suffers every ill that it earns.

 

“Then when (the son) reached (the age of) (serious) work with him, he said: “O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice; Now see what is thy view!” (The son) said: “O my father! Do as thou art commanded: Thou will find me, if Allah so wills one practising Patience and Constancy!”

(As Shaffat: 102).

Having Any Option.

 

By their choice , they deserved the loss of their way;

In that they took theEvil Ones, in preference to Allah swt., for their friends and protectors, and think they receive guidance.

 

Allah swt. hath commanded Justice, and that ye set your whole selves to Him,

At every time and place of prayer, and call upon Him,

Making your devotion sincere as in His sight;

Such as He created humanbeing in the beginning, so shall ye return.

 

For the Unbelievers, with shame do they hide theirselves from

their people,

Because the bad news they have had! Will they retain it on sufferance and contempt, or bury it in the dust?

What an evil choice they decide on.

 

“It is not fitting for a Believer, man or woman,

When a matter has been decided by Allah swt. and Rasulullah saw. to have any option about Their decision; If any one disobeys Allah and Rasulullah, he is indeed on a clearly wrong Path”.

(Al Ahzab: 36).

Not Too Proud

 

“Not for (idle) sport did We (Allah swt.) did We create the heavens and the earth. And all that is between!”

(Al Anbiyaa: 16)

“To Him belong all (creatures) in the heavens and on earth; Even those who are inHis (very) Presence are not too proud to serve Him, Nor are they (ever) weary (of His service)”

(Al Anbiyaa: 19)

 

Allah swt. hurl the Truth against falsehood, and it knocks out its brain, and behold, falsehood doth perish,

When a wave covers them like the canopy of clouds, they call to Allah, offering Him sincere devotion,

But when Allah has delivered them safely to land, there are among them those that halt between right and wrong.

 

Allah swt. remind mankind to do their duty to Him, and fear the coming of a Day when no father can avail aught for his son, nor a son avail aught for his father.

Verily, the promise of Allah is true, let not then this Present Life deceive us, nor let the Chief Deceiver deceive us about God.
