    Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that `Abdullah bin `Amr said, “The people of Hell will call on Malik for forty years, and he will not answer them. Then he will respond and tell them that they are to abide therein. By Allah, their cries will mean nothing to Malik or to the Lord of Malik. Then they will call on their Lord and will say,

     

    (Our Lord! Our wretchedness overcame us, and we were (an) erring people. Our Lord! Bring us out of this. If ever we return (to evil), then indeed we shall be wrongdoers.) ﴿23:106-107﴾ Allah will not answer them for a time span equivalent to twice the duration of this world. Then He will reply:

     

    (108. He (Allah) will say [to the disbelievers] : “Remain you in it with ignominy! And speak you not to Me!”)

     

    By Allah, the people will not utter a single word after that, and they will merely be in the Fire of Hell, sighing in a high and low tone. Their voices are likened to those of donkeys, which start in a high tone and end in a low tone.”

     

    Then Allah will remind them of their sins in this world and how they used to make fun of His believing servants and close friends:

     

    (109. Verily, there was a party of My servants who used to say: “Our Lord! We believe, so forgive us and have mercy on us, for You are the Best of all who show mercy!”) (110. But you took them for a laughing stock, so much so that they made you forget My remembrance while you used to laugh at them!) meaning, `you made fun of them for calling on Me and praying to Me and your hatred for them made you forget what I would do to you.

     

    Then Allah tells us how He will reward His friends and righteous servants, and says:

     

    (111. Verily, I have rewarded them this Day for their patience; they are indeed the ones that are successful.)

     

    I have caused them to attain the victory of joy, safety, Paradise and salvation from the Fire.’

  • Dhikr to declare one’s faith

    dua113

    Our Lord, indeed we have heard a caller calling to the faith, [saying], ‘Believe in your Lord,’ so we have believed.

    رَّبَّنَا إِنَّنَا سَمِعْنَا مُنَادِيًا يُنَادِي لِلْإِيمَانِ أَنْ آمِنُوا بِرَبِّكُمْ فَآمَنَّا

    Rabbanaa innanaa sami’naa munaadiyan yunaadee lil’eemaani an aaminoo birabbikum fa’aamannaa

    Surah Al-Imran,verse 193

     

    (“Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to faith,”), a caller who calls to faith, referring to the Messenger of Allah ,

    (`Believe in your Lord,’ and we have believed), accepted his call and followed him.

    Listen to the audio recitation below.

    Allah says that the believers are the ones who say

    “Our Lord! Bestow on us from our wives and our offspring the comfort of our eyes…”) means those who ask Allah to bring forth from their loins offspring who will obey Him and worship Him and not associate anything in worship with Him.

    Ibn `Abbas Radi Allahu anhu said, “This means (offspring) who will strive to obey Allah and bring them joy in this world and the Hereafter.” Imam Ahmad recorded that Jubayr bin Nufayr said: “We sat with Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad one day, and a man passed by and said, “How blessed are these two eyes which saw the Messenger of Allah ! Would that we had seen what you saw and witnessed what you witnessed.”

    Al-Miqdad got angry, and I was surprised, because the man had not said anything but good. Then he turned to him and said, “What makes a man wish to be present when Allah had caused him to be absent, and he does not know how he would have behaved if he had been there. By Allah, there are people who saw the Messenger of Allah , and Allah will throw them on their faces in Hell because they did not accept him or believe in him. Are you not grateful that Allah brought you forth from your mothers’ wombs believing in your Lord and in what your Prophet brought, and that the test went to others and not to you. Allah sent His Prophet during the most difficult time that any Prophet was ever sent, after a long period of ignorance, when the people could see no better religion than the worship of idols, and he brought the Criterion which distinguishes truth from falsehood and which would separate a father from his son. A man would realize that his father, son or brother was a disbeliever, and since Allah had opened his heart to Faith, he knew that if his relative died he would go to Hell, so he could not rest knowing that his loved one was in the Fire.

    This is what Allah referred to in this Ayah.

    Its chain of narrators is Sahih, although they did not report it.

    (and make us leaders of those who have Taqwa.) Ibn `Abbas, Al-Hasan, As-Suddi, Qatadah and Rabi` bin Anas said: “Leaders who would be taken as examples in good.” Others said: “Guides who would call others to goodness.” They wanted their worship to be connected to the worship of their children and offspring, and their guidance to go beyond themselves and benefit others. This would be more rewarding and a better end, as it was recorded in Sahih Muslim from Abu Hurayrah Radi Allahu anhu, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah said:

    (When a son of Adam dies, his deeds cease, apart from three: a righteous child who will pray for him, knowledge from which others may benefit after him and an ongoing charity.)

    Allah says in the Holy Quran:-

    (75. Those will be rewarded with the highest place because of their patience. Therein they shall be met with greetings and the word of peace and respect.) (76. Abiding therein — excellent it is as an abode, and as a place to rest in.)

    Listen to the recitation of this dua.

    This is the supplication of the believers. Allah says that His pious servants supplicate to Him with this prayer,

    “Our Lord! Avert from us the torment of Hell. Verily, its torment is ever an inseparable punishment.”) meaning, ever-present and never ending.

    Al-Hasan said concerning the Ayah,

    (Verily, its torment is ever an inseparable, permanent punishment.) Everything that strikes the son of Adam, then disappears, does not constitute an inseparable, permanent punishment. The inseparable, permanent punishment is that which lasts as long as heaven and earth. This was also the view of Sulayman At-Taymi.

     

    (Evil indeed it is as an abode and as a place to rest in.) means, how evil it looks as a place to dwell and how evil it is as a place to rest.

    “The story of the Jews who sought a king to be appointed over them”         

    The Children of Israel remained on the straight path for a period of time after Musa Alaihissalaam. They then innovated in the religion and some of them even worshipped the idols.

    The Israelites kept indulging in misguidance until some king took the Tabut from them during a battle. That king also took possession of the Torah, and only a few of the Israelites who memorized it remained. The Prophethood halted among their various tribes and only a pregnant woman remained of the offspring of Lavi (Levi), in whom the prophethood still appeared. Allah gave her a boy whom she called `Shamwil’.

    As that boy grew, Allah raised him to be a righteous person. When he reached the age of prophethood, Allah revealed to him and commanded him to call (his people) to Him and to His Tawhid (Oneness). Shamwil called the Children of Israel (to Allah) and they asked him to appoint a king over them so that they could fight their enemies under his command.

    When the Israelites asked their Prophet to appoint a king over them, he appointed Talut (Saul), who was then a soldier.

    Their Prophet then proclaimed, “The sign of the blessings of Talut’s kingship over you is that Allah will give you back the Tabut (wooden box) that has been taken from you.”

    Ibn Jurayj stated that Ibn `Abbas said, “The angels came down while carrying the Tabut between the sky and the earth, until they placed it before Talut while the people were watching.” As-Suddi said, “The Tabut was brought to Talut’s house, so the people believed in the prophethood of Sham`un (Simeon) and obeyed Talut”

    Allah says in the Holy Quran:-

    “And when they advanced to meet Jalut (Goliath) and his forces, they invoked: “Our Lord! Pour forth on us patience, and set firm our feet and make us victorious over the disbelieving people.”) (251. So they routed them by Allah’s leave and Dawud (David) killed Jalut (Goliath), and Allah gave him (Dawud) the kingdom after the death of Talut and Samuel and Al-Hikmah (prophethood), and taught him of that which He willed.” (2:250-251)

    When the faithful party, who were few under the command of Talut, faced their enemy, who were many under the command of Jalut,they invoked:

    “Our Lord! Pour forth on us patience…” meaning, send down patience on us from You.

    “and set firm our feet” meaning, against the enemy and save us from running away and from feebleness,

    “and make us victorious over the disbelieving people.”

    Allah said:

    “So they routed them by Allah’s leave” meaning, they defeated and overwhelmed them by Allah’s aid and support.

    Israelite accounts claimed that Prophet Dawud killed Goliath with a slingshot that he had, which he launched at Goliath causing his death.

    Talut promised that whoever killed Jalut, would marry his daughter and would share his kingship and authority. He kept his promise. Later, the kingship was transferred to Prophet Dawud in addition to being granted Prophethood by Allah.

    Allah encourages calling Him in supplication after remembering Him, because this will make it more likely that the supplication will be accepted. Allah also criticizes those who only supplicate to Him about the affairs of this life, while ignoring the affairs of the Hereafter.

    Sa`id bin Jubayr said that Ibn `Abbas said, “Some bedouins used to come to the standing area (`Arafat) and supplicate saying, `O Allah! Make it a rainy year, a fertile year and a year of good child bearing.’ They would not mention any of the affairs of the Hereafter.

    Thus, Allah revealed about them:

    “But of mankind there are some who say: “Our Lord! Give us (Your bounties) in this world!” and for such there will be no portion in the Hereafter.” meaning, they have no share in the Hereafter. This criticism serves to discourage other people from imitating those mentioned.

    The believers who came after them used to say:

    “Our Lord! Give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and save us from the torment of the Fire!”

    Next, Allah revealed:

    “For them there will be an allotted a share for what they have earned. And Allah is swift at reckoning.”

    Hence, Allah praised those who ask for the affairs of both this life and the Hereafter.

    The supplication mentioned and praised in the Ayah includes all good aspects of this life and seeks refuge from all types of evil. The good of this life concerns every material request of well-being, spacious dwelling, pleasing mates, sufficient provision, beneficial knowledge, good profession or deeds, comfortable means of transportation and good praise, all of which the scholars of Tafsir have mentioned regarding this subject. All of these are but a part of the good that is sought in this life. As for the good of the Hereafter, the best of this includes acquiring Paradise, which also means acquiring safety from the greatest horror at the gathering place. It also refers to being questioned lightly and the other favors in the Hereafter.

    As for acquiring safety from the Fire, it includes being directed to what leads to this good end in this world, such as avoiding the prohibitions, sins of all kinds and doubtful matters.

    Al-Qasim bin `Abdur-Rahman said, “Whoever is gifted with a grateful heart, a remembering tongue and a patient body, will have been endowed with a good deed in this life, a good deed in the Hereafter and saved from the torment of the Fire.”

    This is why the Sunnah encourages reciting this Du`a’ (i.e., in the Ayah about gaining a good deed in this life and the Hereafter). Al-Bukhari reported that Anas bin Malik narrated that the Prophet Sallal laahoo alaihi wassallam used to say this dua.

    Imam Ahmad reported that Anas said, “Allah’s Messenger (Peace be upon him) visited a Muslim man who had become as weak as a sick small bird. Allah’s Messenger (Peace be upon him) said to him, `Were you asking or supplicating to Allah about something’ He said, `Yes. I used to say: O Allah! Whatever punishment you saved for me in the Hereafter, give it to me in this life.’ Allah’s Messenger (Peace be upon him) said:

    “All praise is due to Allah! You cannot bear it -or stand it-. You should have said: Our Lord! Give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and save us from the torment of the Fire!

    The man began reciting this Du`a and he was cured.” Muslim also recorded it.
