2934 Whether people speak evil of you, in your presence or behind your back, or they do evil to you in either of those ways,<br />

all is known to Allah. It is not for you to punish. Your best course is not to do evil in your tum, but to do what will best<br />

repel the evil. Two evils do not make a good. Cf. xli. 34, n. 4504. (23.96)<br />

41:34 - Nor can Goodness and Evil be equal. Repel (Evil) with what is better: then will he between<br />

whom and thee was hatred become as it were thy friend and intimate! 45044505<br />

4504 You do not return good for evil, for there is no equality or comparison between the two. You repel or destroy evil with<br />

something which is far better, just as an antidote is better than poison. You foil hatred with love. You repel ignorance<br />

with knowledge, folly and wickedness with the friendly message of Revelation. The man who was in the bondage of<br />

sin, you not only liberate from sin, but make him your greatest friend and helper in the cause of Allah! Such is the<br />

alchemy of the Word of Allah! Cf. xxiii. 96; xxviii. 54. (41.34)<br />

4505 Hamim: See n. 4500 above, and Introduction to S. xi. (41.34)<br />

43:5 - Shall We then take away the Message from you and repel (you) for that ye are a people<br />

transgressing beyond bounds? 4607<br />

4607 In vouchsafing Revelation, what an inestimable Mercy has Allah conferred on mankind! Yet so many deluded souls<br />

are ungrateful, and ignore or oppose its teaching. If it were not for His attributes of Forgiveness and Forbearing He<br />

would be justified in withdrawing that Light, but He continues to shed it, that all who will may come and be blessed by<br />

it. (43.5)<br />

Al-Muwatta Hadith<br />

Hadith 9.36<br />

Warning against Passing in Front of Someone Praying<br />

Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abi Said al-Khudri from his father that the<br />

Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Do not let anyone pass in front of you when you are<br />

praying. Repel him as much as you can, and, if he refuses, fight him, for he is only a shaytan."<br />

Sahih Muslim Hadith<br />

Hadith 3240 Narrated by<br />

Jabir ibn Abdulla<br />

Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) saw a woman, and so he came to his wife, Zaynab, as she was tanning a leather and<br />

had sexual intercourse with her. He then went to his Companions and told them: The woman advances and returns in the<br />

shape of a devil, so when one of you sees a woman, he should come to his wife, for that will repel what he feels in his heart.<br />

RESIST:<br />

8:14 - Thus (will it be said): "Taste ye then of the (punishment): for those who resist Allah is the<br />

penalty of the fire."<br />

47:32 - Those who reject Allah hinder (men) from the Path of Allah and resist the Apostle after<br />

Guidance has been clearly shown to them will not injure Allah in the least but He will make<br />

their deeds of no effect. 4857<br />

4857 Cf. verse 25 above, and verse 34 below: in verse 25 was shown the source of the evil. viz., yielding to the deceptions<br />

of Satan; in this verse are shown the proximate consequences of such yielding to evil, viz., failure of all we do; and in<br />

verse 34 below are shown the eternal consequences, viz., our deprivation of Allah's Grace and Mercy. (47.32)<br />

58:5 – Those who resist Allah and His Apostle will be humbled to dust as were those before them:<br />

for We have already sent down clear Signs. And the Unbelievers (will have) a humiliating<br />

Penalty .<br />

58:20 - Those who resist Allah and His Apostle will be among those most humiliated. 5361<br />

5361 There are various degrees of humiliation in the final state in the next world. But the worst is the humiliation of being<br />

numbered among those who ignominiously attempted to resist the Irresistible. (58.20)<br />

RESPITE:<br />

3:178 - Let not the Unbelievers think that our respite to them is good for themselves: We grant<br />

them respite that they may grow in their iniquity: but they will have a shameful punishment. 480<br />

479 That the cup of their iniquity may be full. The appetite for sin grows with what it feeds on. The natural result is that the<br />

sinner sinks deeper into sin. If there is any freedom of will, this naturally follows, though Allah's Grace is always ready<br />

for the repentant. If the Grace is rejected, the increase of iniquity makes the nature of iniquity plainer to those who<br />
