We'll continue our theme for this blessed month
of Ramadan.
Moral guidance
from everyday experiences.
A student asked his Sheikh about the verse
of Surah Fatihah
where Allah very clearly states
O Allah only You do we worship,
O Allah only You
do we ask for help.
And Rasulullah
he said,
If ever you seek help,
then seek help
from Allah.
The student then asked the sheikh, why does
Allah then say in the Quran,
If you help Allah,
Allah will help you.
If Allah is a source of help and
the one you can only turn to help,
why does Allah himself say in the Quran
in
If you help Allah, Allah will help you.
The sheikh said Allah is the creator of
the universe
and each human being, khalifa tulallahi, fill out
the resurgent of Allah on earth.
As such we are we serve as agents
of Allah on earth.
And there's a hadith al Qudsi which is
inspired by Allah and narrated by the Rasul,
and this is documented in the Sahih of
Imam Muslim.
Sheikh quoted the hadith
which is an authentic Hadith,
which says,
Allah will respond, oh son. Oh, Allah will
say, oh, son of Adam, oh, human being,
I was sick and you did not visit
me.
And the person will reply, oh, Allah, you
are the lord of the worlds. How can
I visit you and you be sick?
And Allah will respond,
don't you know that so and so of
my servant was sick
and you did not visit him?
Had you visited him, you would have found
me with him.
And then the hadith go goes on,
Allah will say, I asked for food,
but you did not feed me and the
person will say, well, how can I feed
you?
You are the Lord of the heavens and
the earth.
Don't you know
had you fed him when he was hungry
and he asked for food, you'd have found
me there with him.
Then the sheikh says,
Allah is the facilitator
of everything.
Allah is the one who empowers us even
whatever we do, our intelligence, our ability, our
capacity.
So everything is from Allah eventually.
But Allah is the facilitator
of everything in existence.
And we as Khalifa Tulaifilal
as the vestigialens of Allah on earth have
hakukul ibad. We have social responsibility
to the creation of Allah.
We have social responsibility
to the creation of Allah. So we did
hear from this incident
that all authority and all majesty ultimately
belongs to Allah
And if we are true to Allah,
then Allah honors
us as being his agents on us.
As
When Allah wishes well for a person,
Allah grants that person the capacity
to be an instrument in fulfilling
the needs of others. In other words, Allah
uses that person to benefit other people.
That is why
Allah may add years to your life.
Not necessarily because you need it,
but because someone may need you.
Therefore,
we should always try. Try always your best
to help someone
because you might just be the only one
willing to help.
And Allah
is ever a witness
to everything we do. And be reassured
of the moting of the motivating words of
Rasulullah.
Be rest assured of the motivating words of
Rasulullah Allah is at the assistance of that
person
as long as that person is of benefit
to other people.
