4260 The "fear of Allah" (Taqwa) is explained in n. 26 to ii. 2. Sec also n. 2912 to xxiii. 60. The fear of Allah is akin to love,<br />

for it means that we are afraid to displease Him. (39.10)<br />

4261 Cf. xxix. 56 and n. 3489. We must always do right. We cannot plead that the circumstances in which we find ourselves<br />

force our hands. If our home conditions do not allow us to act according to the Faith that is in us, we must be prepared<br />

to suffer ostrac<strong>ism</strong> or even exile. (39.10)<br />

39:53 - Say: "O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy<br />

of Allah: for Allah forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful. 4324<br />

4324 Forgives all sins: i.e., on sincere repentance and amendment of conduct. (39.53)<br />

42:27 - If Allah were to enlarge the provision for His Servants they would indeed transgress<br />

beyond all bounds through the earth; but He sends (it) down in due measure as He pleases:<br />

for He is with His Servants well-acquainted Watchful. 45654566<br />

4565 It may be objected that all prayers, even of good people, are not answered. The reply is: (1) that even everyone who<br />

is good does not necessarily know what is best for him, for the values in this life are curiously distorted; and (2) on<br />

account of their want of knowledge, if everyone got all he asked for, there would be chaos and confusion, and<br />

"transgression beyond bounds through the earth", for the different interests are so intermingled and balanced that<br />

some measure must be observed in granting people's wishes. This measure is best supplied by the watchful care of<br />

Allah and His perfect knowledge of all our real needs. (42.27)<br />

4566 "As He pleases" is here almost equivalent to "as He thinks best". (42.27)<br />

42:52 - And thus have We by Our command sent inspiration to thee: thou knowest not (before)<br />

what was Revelation and what was Faith; but We have made the (Qur'an) a Light wherewith<br />

We guide such of Our servants as We will; and verily thou dost guide (men) to the Straight<br />

Hadith Qudsi<br />

Hadith Qudsi 17<br />

O My servants, I have forbidden oppression for Myself and have made it forbidden amongst you, so do not oppress one<br />

another. O My servants, all of you are astray except for those I have guided, so seek guidance of Me and I shall guide you,<br />

O My servants, all of you are hungry except for those I have fed, so seek food of Me and I shall feed you. O My servants,<br />

all of you are naked except for those I have clothed, so seek clothing of Me and I shall clothe you. O My servants, you sin by<br />

night and by day, and I forgive all sins, so seek forgiveness of Me and I shall forgive you. O My servants, you will not attain<br />

harming Me so as to harm Me, and will not attain benefitting Me so as to benefit Me. O My servants, were the first of you<br />

and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to be as pious as the most pious heart of any one man of you, that<br />

would not increase My kingdom in anything. O My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and<br />

the jinn of you to be as wicked as the most wicked heart of any one man of you, that would not decrease My kingdom in<br />

anything. O My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to rise up in one<br />

place and make a request of Me, and were I to give everyone what he requested, that would not decrease what I have, any<br />

more that a needle decreases the sea if put into it. O My servants, it is but your deeds that I reckon up for you and then<br />

recompense you for, so let him finds good praise Allah and let him who finds other that blame no one but himself.<br />

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith<br />

Hadith 4871<br />

Narrated by<br />

AbdurRahman ibn Ghanam, and Asma', daughter of Yazid<br />

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "The best servants of Allah are those who, when they are seen, cause Allah to be<br />

remembered. The worst servants of Allah are those who go about slandering, who separate friends, and seek to distress the<br />

upright."<br />

Ahmad and Bayhaqi, in Shu'ab al-Iman, transmitted it.<br />

SEVEN GATES:<br />

15:44 - To it are seven Gates: for each of those Gates is (special) class (of sinners assigned). 1977<br />

1977 The ways of sin are numerous, and if they are classified into seven, each of them points to a Gate that leads to Hell.<br />
