Allah Does Witness All Deeds and Judgments.
Allah swt. taught Nabi Daud the making of coats
of mail for people’s benefit; to guard from each others violence, so people
should be grateful.
It was the power of Allah swt. that made the
violent wind flow tamely for Nabi Sulaiman, to his order, to the land which
Allah had blessed; for Allah does know all things.
Allah made Apostles to be Leaders, guiding men by
His Command, and He sent them inspiration to do good deeds; To establish
regular prayers, and to practise regular charity;And they constantly served
Allah only. He admitted them to His Mercy.
“And remember Daud and Sulaiman, when they gave
Judgment in the matter of the field into which the sheep of certain people had
strayed by night; We (Allah) Did Witness Their Judgment.
To Sulaiman We inspired the (right) understanding
of the matter:
to each (of them) We gave Judgment and Knowledge;
it was Our Power that made the hills and the birds Celebrate Our Praises,With
Daud, it was We who did (all these things)”

Step On The Reef
“Ask them concerning the town standing close by
the sea. Behold! They transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath. For on the day
of their Sabbath their fish did come to them, openly holding up their heads,
But on the day they had no Sabbath, they came
not; Thus did We (Allah) make a trial of them, for they were given to
transgression”.
(Al A’raf: 163).
In the Hand of Allah are the keys of the Unseen,
none knoweth
the treasurers whatever there is on the earth and
in the sea.
Not a leaf doth fall but with His knowledge,
there is not a grain in
the darkness or depths of the earth, nor anything
fresh or dry, green
or whitered ; but is inscribed in a Record, clear
to those who can read.
Allah swt. doth take our souls by night, and hath
knowledge of all that we have done by day.
By day doth Allah swt. raise us up again; that a
term appointed be fulfilled; In the end unto Him will be our return, then will
He show us the truth of all that we did.
Watch your step! Perhaps there are unseen
slippery or sharp reef on the quite
beach. Allah swt. doth know those of us who slip away .

Violate Not the Sanctity.
What vision to those who claim sanctity for
themselves?
Allah swt. doth sanctify whom He pleaseth.
But never will they fail to receive justice in
the least little thing, the small skin in the groove of a date stone, a thing
of no value.
“O ye who believe! Violate not the Sanctity of
the Symbols of God, nor of the Sacred Month, nor of the animals brought for
Sacrifice, nor the garlands that mark out such animals, nor the people
resorting to the Sacred House,
Seeking of the bounty and good pleasure of their
Lord. But when ye are clear of the Sacred Precincts and of pilgrim garb, ye may
hunt and let not the hatred of some people in (once) shutting you out of the
Sacred Mosque lead you to transgression (and hostility on your part). Help ye
one another in righteousness and piety, but help you not one another in sin and
rancour; Fear Allah, for Allah is strict in punishment”. (Al Maidah: 3).
Mukminun and
the Apostle are in the company of those on whom is the Grace of Allah
swt.Of the Prophets who teach, the sincere, the lovers of truth, the witness
who testify and the righteous who do good ,
What a beautiful Fellowship. Such is the Bounty
from Allah swt.
