O Muslims - 30

 

In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful


Extract from QUR’AANIC STUDIES – A Modern Tafsir PART I:

11. Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo othkuroo niAAmata Allahi AAalaykum ith hamma qawmun an yabsutoo ilaykum aydiyahum fakaffa aydiyahum AAankum waittaqoo Allaha waAAala Allahi falyatawakkali almu/minoona


5:11. O you who believe! Remember Allah's Favour upon you when people had planned to raise their hands against you, but He stayed their hands from you.8 And fear Allah! And in Allah let the believers put their trust.


8. The reference here is obviously to events during the time the Qur'aan was revealed. But many Muslims today may recall instances in their own personal lives when they were miraculously saved from attacks intended against them by others. I am aware of such instances in my own life. Although we are guilty of disobedience to Him in many matters, Allah still protects us sometimes so that we remember this and come back to the blessed path of complete obedience and submission to Him, putting our complete trust in Him.
