Hazrat Imam Sajjad (peace be upon him) shared a profound story about Hazrat Noah (A.S.), highlighting Allah's unwavering promise and protection. When building the ark, a believing old woman would visit Hazrat Noah, inquiring about the ark's departure. Though initially dismissed, she waited patiently.

On the day of reckoning, the flood arrived, and the ark sailed, but Hazrat Noah forgot to summon the woman. Miraculously, she remained safe. After the storm, Hazrat Noah returned to the city, finding a lone lamp burning in her hut. Astonished, he learned she had awaited his call.

Allah revealed to Hazrat Noah that His promise had shielded the woman due to Noah's love and unfulfilled vow. This poignant lesson emphasizes Allah's protection and the importance of honoring commitments.

Hazrat Imam Sajjad urged believers to share this hadith, stressing that the Day of Resurrection's punishment will surely come, but Allah's love and promises will safeguard those who trust.

May this inspiring story deepen your faith and remind you of Allah's unwavering love and promises.

[journal-rasa]

Jika kamu ingin cepat berdamai dengan orang-orang yang menyakitimu, maka jangan lihat ia sebagai teman, keluarga, pasangan atau siapa pun yang kamu kenal.

Tapi lihatlah mereka sebagai malaikat yang Allah samarkan khusus untuk menguji hatimu.

Dan sungguh akan Kami berikan cobaan kepadamu dengan sedikit ketakutan, kelaparan, kekurangan harta, jiwa, dan buah-buahan. Dan berikanlah berita gembira kepada orang-orang yang sabar, (yaitu) orang-orang yang apabila ditimpa musibah, mereka mengucapkan, “Inna lillaahi wa innaa ilaihi raaji'uun.” (Kami dari Allah, dan hanya kepada-Nya kami kembali). <<<Q.S Al-Baqarah: 155-156>>>

Sesungguhnya, berbahagialah manusia yang ditegur Allah; sebab itu janganlah engkau menolak didikan Yang Mahakuasa. Karena Dialah yang melukai, tetapi juga yang membebat; Dia yang memukuli, tetapi yang tangan-Nya menyembuhkan pula. <<<Taurat, kitab Nabi Ayub 5: 17-18>>>

When will the help of Allah arrive?

The revelation of Surah Al-Ankabut occurred when Muslims faced severe oppression. Once Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) began preaching Islam publicly, his few followers quickly found that professing faith meant facing ruthless torture and execution. Men from the Mecca like Abu Bakr (ra), were beaten unconscious in the streets, while slaves like Bilal b. Rabah (ra) and Suhayb b. Sinân (ra) were shackled and left to scorch in the midday desert sun.

The conditions had become extremely unfavorable, and a noble companion was tortured with burning coals without clothes. They took him to hot, open areas in the city when the sun was very strong. It was scorching on the ground. They removed his clothes, put iron armor on him, and laid him on the hot ground. Because of the intense heat, his skin would burn, and his body would become still. His skin melted due to the extreme conditions, and he went to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), asking, "Why isn't Allah's help coming, considering what we are going through?"

Then, the verses of Surah Al-Ankabut were revealed. When Surah Al-Ankabut was revealed, its initial verses emphasized patience. The first verses addressed the companions, saying, “Do people think once they say, “We believe,” that they will be left without being put to the test? We certainly tested those before them. And ˹in this way˺ Allah will clearly distinguish between those who are truthful and those who are liars.”

After this, the mention of Prophet Noah began, highlighting that he had to endure centuries of waiting, and eventually, Allah's help came through the flood. After that, the mention of Prophet Abrahim followed, who faced difficulties from his own people and was saved from the fire.

Then the story of Prophet Lut is mentioned. Prophet Lut was also supposed to migrate. However, at that point, the command for migration had not yet been given. Prophet Lut would be questioning when the command would come and when they would leave this place.

After a long period of patience, finally, the angels came, and the command for migration was given.

Allah, through these stories, was conveying to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) that just as He helped all those previous prophets, He would help them too. However, they needed to be patient and wait, just as all of them had to wait.

This Surah gives us hope that help would surely come, and it would come in a way one cannot anticipate. All we have to do is wait patiently.

People have gone through miserable times across the history of Mankind just for standing firm upon Islamic principles of Tawheed and justice! Even the people of highest character and piety i.e. the Prophets, themselves went through such scenarios. Some incidents have been covered in the Islamic tradition in order to inculcate among the Muslim masses the concept of trial, test, affliction and tribulation! And through this one becomes spiritually oriented with the difficult times one is going to have in this life!

Allah Azawajal says, "And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient."

Surah Baqarah V. 155

[laanam]

سَتَجِدُنِىٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ صَابِرًۭا

“You will find me patient, Allah willing,”

(Quran 18:69)

[sukoon-rooh]

Shouldn't we be grateful to Allah ﷻ for being there with us every second?

Unlike others, we don't have to find people to tell us what we feel!

We have Allah ﷻ, Subhan' Allah 🥺

It doesn't matter if you're happy, sad, angry, depressed, or anxious, Allah ﷻ is always there to hear us out!🥺

Yet we take it for granted.😓

May Allah ﷻ forgive us and make us among those who He loves, Aameen.🤍

[musht-e-khaak]

What exactly prevents us from following our faith? Why do our steps falter when we try to walk the path of truth? Why does standing up for justice scare us? Why do we perceive being a Muslim as being backward? Why, after all? Do you know why? Because we prioritize others' opinions over our own. In simple terms, we worry about "what will people think?" How will people view me if I wear a hijab? What will people say if I grow a beard? What will people think if I refuse to attend parties? It’s always about people, people, and people.This has led our society to adopt the mentality that those who adhere to religion are the ones who have forsaken the world, who have no dreams, and who hold outdated beliefs. Consequently, the majority eventually excludes religion from their lives. Do you consider your faith so fragile that anyone's thought can lead you astray from your true purpose? Do you ever realize that our steps cannot be firm until we internalize and embrace the mindset that there is nothing stronger than the path we follow, and there never can be. Islam does not separate you from the world; rather, it teaches you how to live within it.

"never let your principles be overshadowed by your emotions, never ever."

The most beautiful women are those who remain unknown & unseen In this world, who crowned their heads with modesty.

كلما قلّ من يراها، زادت قيمتها.

The less people see her, the more her value increases.

كلما نسيت حَياءها، تقلّ قيمتها وتصبح شيئًا يمكن لأي شخص أن يحصل عليه.

The more she forgets her Haya. The more her value decreases, she becomes something anyone can have.

Islamic Governance &Exemplifying Justice with the parable of Salah ad-Din Ayyubi

Sultan Salah ad-Din Ayyubi, widely known as Saladin, stands as a paragon of Islamic governance, embodying the principles of justice, compassion, and wisdom. His reign serves as a testament to the beauty of Islam’s approach to governance, drawing inspiration from the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and the Quran.

Justice in Islamic Governance

Saladin’s commitment to justice mirrors the core Islamic principle of fairness and equity. The Quran highlights in Surah An-Nisa (4:135):

“O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives.” 

This profound verse underscores the paramount importance of upholding justice, even if it conflicts with personal interests. The Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) also echoes this sentiment:

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or he is an oppressed one. People asked, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! It is all right to help him if he is oppressed, but how should we help him if he is an oppressor?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “By preventing him from oppressing others.”

This approach to justice, irrespective of one’s position, exemplifies the inherent beauty of Islamic governance.

The Legacy of Ali and Nur ad-Din Zengi

The legacy of Ali ibn Abi Talib, the cousin and son-in-law of Prophet Muhammad(ﷺ), and Nur ad-Din Zengi, the influential ruler of Syria, further enriches the narrative of justice in Islamic governance. Both figures, renowned for their adherence to justice, famously attended court proceedings to personally adjudicate disputes, echoing the tradition of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), who was known to resolve disputes with fairness and compassion. Their actions exemplify the prophetic tradition, where the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) stated, 

“The most beloved of people according to Allah is he who brings most benefit, and the most beloved of deeds according to Allah is that you bring happiness to a fellow Muslim, or relieve him of distress, or pay off his debt, or stave away hunger from him.”

Compassion and Wisdom

Islamic governance, as epitomized by Saladin, Ali, and Nur ad-Din Zengi, is underpinned by compassion and wisdom. The Quran advocates for benevolence and empathy, stating in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:195) “And do good; indeed, Allah loves the doers of good.” This principle is echoed in the Hadith, where the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) emphasized, “The merciful will be shown mercy by the Most Merciful. Be merciful to those on the earth and the One in the heavens will have mercy upon you.” The integration of compassion and wisdom in governance, as demonstrated by these exemplary leaders, encapsulates the enduring beauty of Islamic principles.

By embodying the values of justice, compassion, and wisdom, these figures have etched an indelible mark on history, serving as timeless beacons of Islamic governance’s magnificence.
