21st Night of Ramadaan 1434

This is the first of the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadaan. We have heard of the significance of the odd nights on several occasions. It is within these nights that Laylatul Qadr (a night better than a thousand months) remains hidden as Mercy and a Gift to the Ummah of our Beloved Nabi Muhammad Mustapha Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam.

Allah, The King of All Kings is prepared to give us whatever we desire. Tonight, Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala is prepared to forgive ALL sins and make our dark hearts shine bright.

 We are the beggars tapping at Allah’s door and we should continue to shed tears of repentance till we are granted forgiveness, peace and tranquility.

 The ‘first flight’  has taken off. We must brace ourselves for the journey from the Farsh to the Arsh. We seek the Rahmah, the Maghfirat, the Pleasure of ALLAH Rabbul Izzat

An Explanation of a Selected Verse of Surah Fussilat : 

لَّا يَسْأَمُ الْإِنسَانُ مِن دُعَاءِ الْخَيْرِ وَإِن مَّسَّهُ الشَّرُّ فَيَئُوسٌ قَنُوطٌ

Man is not weary of supplication for good [things], but if evil touches him, he is hopeless and despairing ~ Surah Fussilat 41:49

• It is the nature of man to make dua and seek from ALLAH Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala but the moment calamity befalls, immediately he becomes despondent. 

• EVERYTHING is from ALLAH. ALLAH Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala sends good and also bestows affliction. HE is Hakeem (ALL-WISE).

 • Whilst we may do things insensibly, ALLAH Azza wa Jal never does anything without Wisdom, Purpose and Reason. 

• ALLAH Alone knows What He is Doing, Why He is doing, to whom He is doing and When He is doing. When a person experiences affliction (grief/pain/sorrow) ALLAH wants us to turn to Him and beg from Him Alone. ALLAH never gets tired, we must not become ‘maayoos’ (lose hope). 

• ALLAH Solves ALL problems. Nothing is impossible for ALLAH, as everything is in His control. This must be borne in mind and a person must maintain full conviction in ALLAH at all times and in every condition. When and how ALLAH will open a door and make a way out, HE Alone knows. We must continue praising and begging off our ALLAH 

• When man is blessed with sufficiency (health, wealth, abundance), then he forgets ALLAH, but in times of need he turns to ALLAH. We must turn to ALLAH our Khaaliq always because we are ‘muhtaaj’ (dependant) on Him every second.

An Explanation of a Selected Verse of Surah Al Jaathiyah : 

 أَفَرَأَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ إِلَٰهَهُ هَوَاهُ

Have you seen he who has taken as his god his [own] desire ~ Surah Al Jaathiyah 45:23

• The person who has taken his passions as his Deity ie. obeying and fulfilling all his desires, and disobeying and ignoring the commands of ALLAH, to that person ALLAH entrusts a shaytaan as a partner or sole companion. This shaytaan will be thrown into hellfire with the disobedient person, but the punishment will not seem lighter in the least.

• All Greatness (Kibriyaa) belongs ONLY to ALLAH Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala. 

Firoun, who arrogantly claimed to be “ilaah”, realized too late that Loftiness and Pride did not belong to him at all.  

May ALLAH bless us with humility and strong conviction in HIM Alone. May ALLAH bless us with His Divine Forgiveness and Pleasure.

Merits of the First Verses of Surah Mu’min :

حم . تَنزِيلُ الْكِتَابِ مِنَ اللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْعَلِيمِ . غَافِرِ الذَّنبِ وَقَابِلِ التَّوْبِ شَدِيدِ الْعِقَابِ ذِي الطَّوْلِ ۖ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ إِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيرُ

Ha, Meem. The revelation of the Book is from Allah , the Exalted in Might, the Knowing. The forgiver of sin, acceptor of repentance, severe in punishment, owner of abundance. There is no deity except Him; to Him is the destination ~ Surah Mu’min 40: 1/2/3

• Hazrat Abdullah ibn Mas’ood RA used to say that the Surahs in the Quran beginning with ‘Haa Meem’ are like embellishments -beautifully decorate the Quraan and bring much delight to the reader.

• The meaning of the letters  ‘Haa Meem’ are known only to ALLAH 
Subhaanahu wa Ta’ala 

•  The beginning verses of Surah Mu’min highlight that ALLAH is All Mighty and All Knowing

•  ALLAH is also The Forgiver of sins, Acceptor of Repentance, Severe in Punishment and All Powerful. There is None Worthy of Worship but Him and all shall return to Him.

•  The one who recites the above verses of Surah Mu’min together with Ayatul Kursi every morning will be in the Protection of ALLAH all day.

• These verses give us deep hope but also caution against the swift and severe punishment of ALLAH.

• They also are a very powerful means of one reforming oneself if one ponders deeply. Hazrath Umar RA sent these verses to a Syrian friend who became a drunkard, to read when in a sober state, and it served as a means of reformation for him.

Angels carrying the Throne of Allah seek Forgiveness for the Believers :

الَّذِينَ يَحْمِلُونَ الْعَرْشَ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَيُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا رَبَّنَا وَسِعْتَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ رَّحْمَةً وَعِلْمًا فَاغْفِرْ لِلَّذِينَ تَابُوا وَاتَّبَعُوا سَبِيلَكَ وَقِهِمْ عَذَابَ الْجَحِيمِ .رَبَّنَا وَأَدْخِلْهُمْ جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍ الَّتِي وَعَدتَّهُمْ وَمَن صَلَحَ مِنْ آبَائِهِمْ وَأَزْوَاجِهِمْ وَذُرِّيَّاتِهِمْ ۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُوَقِهِمُ السَّيِّئَاتِ ۚ وَمَن تَقِ السَّيِّئَاتِ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَقَدْ رَحِمْتَهُ ۚ وَذَٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ

Those [angels] who carry the Throne and those around it exalt [ Allah ] with praise of their Lord and believe in Him and ask forgiveness for those who have believed, [saying], “Our Lord, You have encompassed all things in mercy and knowledge, so forgive those who have repented and followed Your way and protect them from the punishment of Hellfire – Our Lord, and admit them to gardens of perpetual residence which You have promised them and whoever was righteous among their fathers, their spouses and their offspring. Indeed, it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise – And protect them from the evil consequences [of their deeds]. And he whom You protect from evil consequences that Day – You will have given him mercy. And that is the great attainment.” ~ Surah Mu’min 40:7/8/9

• The angels carrying the Arsh of ALLAH and those surrounding the Arsh are in a constant state of Glorifying ALLAH Azza wa Jal. In addition to Glorifying ALLAH, they are also seeking forgiveness for the Believers. They implore Allah to forgive them, to save them from the punishment of Jahannum and to admit them to the everlasting gardens of Jannah. Along with it, they also make dua that their family members who have Imaan also to be joined with them.
