 |  Subject: Consider Ayat 69 Of Surat Ankabut.  Fri Sep 12, 2014 11:53 pm | |
| Assalam alaykum,
In Ayat 69 of Surat Ankabuti of the Holy Qur'an (26:96), Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says:--
"AS FOR THOSE WHO STRIVE IN US, WE SHALL GUIDE THEM
TO OUR PATHS."
Explaining te Ayat, Imam Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah be Merciful to him, said that "the most compulsory form of Jihad (afrad al-jihad) is Jihad against the ego (nafs); against unbridled passions (hawa); against the Devil (shaytan); and against being worldly (dunya).
Those who wage jihad against these 4, in abedience to Allah, shall be guided by Allah to the path of His good pleasure which [in turn] will lead to His Paradise. Those who neglect jihad will be veiled from guidance to the degree they forsake Jihad."
So, let us strive to overcome temptations, casual desires and/or the devil's whisperings. May we be blessed with Taufiq to internalize Islamic teachings through acts of worship and devotion such as Prayer/Sallat, Fasting, Zikr, Almsgiving etc... ameen. | |
