Lesson
When the mankind admits
that Allah Almighty (God) is his Creator, his Beneficent and his Master, and
accepts that he is humble and servant of God Almighty, then, now there is no
any way for the servant except it that he should remember Him for all
necessities and every time. He should ask Allah Almighty for fulfilling of
every necessity.
God Almighty promises in
His Last Scripture at many places that if the mankind remains obedient to Lord
wholeheartedly, then He will not return him failed or unfortunate. God Almighty fulfills all kinds of necessities of the
entire creatures in the whole universe. HE provides food for the hungry,
restoration of health to the patient, looks after the Meek and Orphans. He
bestows His mercy with open hands day and night. But still no deficiency comes
in His pity.
If all the residents of
the earth and the skies ask for help according to their personal needs and
hopes in accord with their individual manners, Allah fulfills their desires,
even then, His treasures don’t become so deficient as a needle dipped in the
sea and let it got out. A person out of us may be the richest but he can’t
spend lavishly as much. And if he dares to spend; then his treasures will go to
end in seconds, and after all, he will also be forced to ask Allah Almighty for
help.
‘IyyaaKa
nasta-‘iin - Thee (alone) we ask
for help - It is demand of mankind’s poorness and helplessness that he should
not ask any other than God Almighty for help to fulfill his necessities. He
should seek His support in each painful trial because there is none remover of
the difficulties except Allah.
It has come in The
Sayings of The Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) that
Once, The Messenger of God Almighty (peace be upon Him) said to His companions
(may Allah be agreed upon them): Who is of you, who promises that he will never
ask any individual? On this, all the
companions
(May God be agreed upon
them) promised: We shall never ask any person except Allah for help. So, they
(May God be agreed upon them) never asked for anything from anyone during their
remaining life. Some of them did so, that if his whip fell down during riding
on the horse or camel, he didn’t say any other to pick it up and give him. But
he dropped down and picked his whip himself.
It is the procedure of
compliance of our honorable elders. We too can make successful our world and
Hereafter, by following them (May Allah be agreed upon them).
