Surat Al muminun, we have 2 verses, aya
number 109
and 118.
In this ayah, Allah subhanahu wa'ala says, indeed,
there was a group of my servants who
used to pray, our Lord,
we have believed,
so forgive us and have mercy on us
for you are the best of those who
have who show mercy.
And the end and the last ayah in
Surat Al Mu'minoon,
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala repeats
that. Repeats that by saying
say, oh, prophet,
my lord, forgive, forgive and have mercy
for you are the best of those who
show mercy.
So, to put the ayat in perspective here,
so the first ayah
came in the
context of Allah
speaking about the people of Jahannam. If you
read the context in Surat Al Aminun,
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is informing us about
a dialogue that will happen between him and
the people of Jahannam.
Those who've been destined to Jahannam,
they will start dialoguing
with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Ask Allah
We wronged ourselves.
We ask you that you give us another
opportunity. Just let us out of jahannam.
If we go back again to the same
old way,
If we go back again to our old
ways, You Allah, then we're completely
lost. We're completely astray which means we deserve
that punishment.
Give us one
last chance.
Then Allah
answered them saying,
No, no, no. You're not gonna get that
opportunity anymore.
Like you know what?
You'll be ashamed of yourself,
you're gonna be humiliated here
and don't do their talk to me.
Some of the adab that Allah
mentioned in the Quran
is when Allah
does not
speak to the people of Jahannam
or some of the people who punish it.
And you know that when you are when
silent treatment is used as punishment, right?
Your spouse sometimes does that to you, your
kids when you don't tell them something,
so they give you silent treatment and it's
very painful
especially if it's used as a punishment,
right? And Allah Subhanahu Wa'ala has the best
example.
Sometimes he punishes by not speaking to them
As Allah says many ayaat that
those are the people that he
He doesn't speak to them, he doesn't even
look at them.
And here, he is now
says, you are doomed, you're ruined, you're going
to be humiliated there, don't you dare talk
to me.
And then he says, now he's now
punishing them even by reminding them of the
opportunity they lost when they had the chance.
It
says,
look, I had other servants,
I had others
just like you,
who had the opportunity just like you,
but they chose
what you didn't choose. They chose to say
Those people they used to
say
You Allah we believe.
So, when they say
again we go back again to when you
make your dua use because the one who
gives his subhanahu wa ta'ala He provides his
sustainer and so on. So, they say
our Lord
we believe.
So, what's the significance of saying
or we believe before you make any dua?
That's what the Ulamati call
that you intercede to Allah Subhanahu when you
make dua, you intercede to Allah
by presenting something good that you've done for
his sake,
and that's permissible.
Let's say,
I ask, for example, when you finish recitation
of the Quran and you come to full
and you say, my Lord, I ask you
by the good deeds of submitting this to
help me with this, to help me with
that. There's nothing wrong with this.
Remember the hadith of the 3 people who
were locked in a cave and the boulder
came and closed the opening of that cave
and they got stuck there,
how did they leave?
They used the intercession, they called upon the
Lord Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
interceding to Allah
with a good deed they've done and they
felt it was sincere.
So, they say, my Lord, I ask you
that if I've done this only for you
and only to you, You Allah, I ask
you to get us out of this misery,
and Allah moved the rocks slowly and gradually
until they were able to walk out.
And here part of the etiquette of a
believer you present your good deed by saying,
my Lord, I believe in you.
You're the one and only and I believe
in you
and I submit myself to you. So those
are now intercessions, you start to make your
du'a with that.
Then,
now they bring their plea and their demand.
You Allah forgive us because we believed
forgive us
and have mercy on us.
And because you are the one who is
the best of those who show mercy.
So, first of all, when you say,
isn't that what these people
that
were asking for?
They were asking for what?
For forgiveness
and for asking for what? For mercy.
Did Allah show it to them?
No. They didn't earn it.
Now, he's bringing this in this context, why?
Because they brought to us
why they earned that forgiveness and mercy.
Because of what?
We believe.
We believe. We didn't deny like this, but
we believe.
So forgive us.
Show mercy
because you're the best of those who show
mercy.
Now, when Allah says the best of those
who show mercy, what does that even mean?
Is there any comparison even?
Absolutely not. There's no comparison.
But just like the prophet mentioned the hadith,
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
how many when you divide the mercy of
Allah azza wa Jal, how many mercies we're
talking about over here?
A 100,
a 100.
Now, how many mercies Allah Subhanahu Wa'ala sent
down on earth?
Only 1. By which everything you see,
the compassion, the mercy you see is part
of that one,
including
the mother when she holds her baby,
the animal when
not stepping over its own baby as well,
to an every that you see among the
people when it comes to compassion and mercy,
all of this is part of one mercy,
and he kept none in our mercy for
the day of judgment.
So, when it comes to that, this is
Yes, there are people some might show mercy,
but your mercy,
I mean, there's no comparison.
Again,
these people
that Allah spoke about earlier and he told
them,
you're not gonna talk to me,
you don't deserve it because they did not
bring the prerequisite,
the prerequisite for
their forgiveness
and for taking that mercy. And what that
prerequisite was? Faith and to believe in Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. So, afterwards Allah Azzawajal presented
that case of the believers
and again taunting the non believers for missing
the opportunity,
then the final ayah in Surat Al Mu'minoon
was a reminder to all of us.
A reminder to all of us when Allah
says
and say
my lord or our lord,
forgive and have mercy for you are the
best of those who show mercy.
He's reminding us that if you need that,
what do you need to bring with it?
Iman.
Iman,
you mean your faith with that. So, he's
reminding us while you're making that dua,
make sure to bring faith and belief in
Allah
with this. So, from these two verses,
we
made this dua or put together this dua
as Allah is asking us to and commanding
us to say which is
So, we can repeat this dua inshallah
Ta'ala.
