93:5 – And soon will thy Guardian-Lord give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well-pleased. 6180<br />

6180 Allah's good pleasure is sure when we serve Him. But we are assured that even our feelings of doubt and suffering<br />

will vanish, and we shall have a sense of complete satisfaction, contentment, and active pleasure when our will is<br />

identified with the Will of Allah. (93.5)<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 8.158<br />

Abu Huraira<br />

Narrated by<br />

The Prophet said, "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should not hurt his neighbor and whoever believes in Allah<br />

and the Last Day, should serve his guest generously and whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should talk what is<br />

good or keep quiet."<br />

SERVANTS:<br />

3:15 - Say: shall I give you glad tidings of things far better than those? For the righteous are<br />

gardens in nearness to their Lord with rivers flowing beneath; therein is their eternal home;<br />

with companions pure (and holy) and the good pleasure of Allah. For in Allah's sight are (all)<br />

His servants. 355<br />

3:16 - (Namely) those who say: "Our Lord! we have indeed believed: forgive us then our sins and<br />

save us from the agony of the fire."<br />

3:17 - Those who show patience firmness and self-control; who are true (in word and deed); who<br />

worship devoutly; who spend (in the way of Allah); and who pray for forgiveness in the early<br />

hours of the morning. 356357<br />

356 Sabr (Sabirin) includes many shades of meaning: I have specified three here, viz., patience, firmness, and selfcontrol.<br />

See ii. 45 and ii. 153 and notes thereon. (3.17)<br />

357 True servants of Allah are described in iii. 16 and 17. They have faith, humility, and hope (iii. 16); and they have<br />

certain virtues (iii. 17) viz., (1) patience, steadfastness, self-restraint, and all that goes under the full definition of Sabr;<br />

this shows a certain attitude of mind: (2) in all their dealings they are true and sincere as they are also in their<br />

promises and words; this marks them out in social conduct: (3) further, their spiritual worship is earnest and deep, an<br />

inner counterpart of their outward conduct; (4) their worship of Allah shows itself in their love of their fellow-men, for<br />

they are ready and liberal in charity: and (5) their self-discipline is so great that the first thing they do every morning is<br />

humbly to approach their God. (3.17)<br />

7:194 - Verily those whom ye call upon besides Allah are servants like unto you: call upon them<br />

and let them listen to your prayer if ye are (indeed) truthful! 1167<br />

1167 False gods, whether idols or deified men, or ideas and superstitions, have no existence of their own, independent of<br />

Allah's creation. They are Allah's creatures, and like servents are subject to His authority. Deified men are not real<br />

men, but false ideas of men. They cannot help themselves: how can they help others? (7.194)<br />

15:39 - (Iblis) said: "O my Lord! because Thou hast put me in the wrong I will make (wrong) fairseeming<br />

to them on the earth and I will put them all in the wrong 19741975<br />

15:40 - "Except Thy servants among them sincere and purified (by Thy grace)."<br />

15:41- (Allah) said: "This (Way of My sincere servants) is indeed a Way that leads straight to Me.<br />

1976<br />

15:42 - "For over My servants no authority shalt thou have except such as put themselves in the<br />

wrong and follow thee."<br />

17:17 - How many generations have We destroyed after Noah? And enough is thy Lord to note<br />

and see the sins of His servants. 21942195<br />

17:53 - Say to My servants that they should (only) say those things that are best: for Satan doth<br />

sow dissensions among them: for Satan is to man an avowed enemy. 2238<br />

2238 This command refers to two situations. (1) Even to your enemies and the enemies of Allah you should speak fair: who<br />

are you to judge others? Judgment belongs to Allah alone, for He knows you (i.e., all mankind) best, and your<br />

personal knowledge is at best imperfect. And Satan is always trying to divide mankind. (2) Amongst yourselves, also<br />

you should not entertain suspicions, but speak politely according to the best standards of human speech. A false or<br />
