UM Special: God is Greater – a thought from Imam Abdul Latif

December 15, 2015December 12, 2015 / unlimitedmercy

Good opinion of Allah 1

When Musa, upon whom be peace, met with Pharaoh’s sorcerers, 72 in number, he had them cast their ropes down first. Musa, upon whom be peace, knew they were dealing with magic, yet he had them go first. A wisdom here is that had he gone first, and the snake appeared, it would have merely scared everyone but they wouldn’t have seen the ropes and staffs of the magicians for what they are. With them going ahead of him their own falsehood was a means to reveal the truth for all to see. Thus, have a good opinion of Allah for at times you will have to see the sorcerers cast their ropes first so that you can see God is Greater in the end.

‪Have a good opinion of Allah.

UM Special: Surah Ad-Duha – Quran

December 14, 2015December 12, 2015 / unlimitedmercy

Good opinion of Allah 1

By the forenoon (after sun-rise);
And by the night when it is still (or darkens);
Your Lord (O Muhammad ()) has neither forsaken you nor hated you.
4. And indeed the Hereafter is better for you than the present (life of this world).
And verily, your Lord will give you (all i.e. good) so that you shall be well-pleased.
Did He not find you (O Muhammad ()) an orphan and gave you a refuge?
And He found you unaware (of the Qur’an, its legal laws, and Prophethood, etc.) and guided you?
And He found you poor, and made you rich (selfsufficient with selfcontentment, etc.)?
Therefore, treat not the orphan with oppression,
And repulse not the beggar;
And proclaim the Grace of your Lord (i.e. the Prophethood and all other Graces).

– Surah Ad-Duha

UM Special: Find Good – Hadith

December 13, 2015December 12, 2015 / unlimitedmercy

Good opinion of Allah 1

According to Abū Dhār, the Prophet, peace be upon him said, reporting the words of God, ever blessed and exalted is He:

“Oh My servants, I have forbidden injustice to Myself and I have made it forbidden amongst you. So be not unjust to one another.

Oh My servants, all of you go astray except the one whom I guide. Ask guidance of Me, and I shall guide you.

…Oh My servants, all of you go hungry except the one whom I feed. Ask Me for food, and I shall feed you.

Oh My servants, all of you go naked except the one whom I clothe. Ask Me for clothing, and I shall clothe you.

Oh My servants, you transgress by day and night, but I forgive all misdeeds. Ask forgiveness of Me, and I shall forgive you.

Oh My servants, harming Me is beyond you, so you cannot harm Me; and benefitting Me is beyond you, so you cannot benefit Me.

Oh My servants, if all of you-first and last, man and jinn-were like the one among you with the most devout heart, that would add nothing to My kingdom.

Oh My servants, if all of you-first and last, man and jinn-were like the one among you with the most ungodly heart, that would take nothing away from My kingdom.

Oh My servants, if all of you-first and last, man and jinn-were to stand on the same level and address Me with your requests, and if I were to give each one what he requested, that would not diminish what is with Me any more than a needle dimities the sea when it enters it.

Oh My servants, it is solely your deeds that I take account of, and it is by virtue of them that I will repay you. So let him who finds good praise God and let him who finds other than that hold none but himself to blame.”

Have a good opinion of Allah.

UM Special: Maintaining a Good Opinion – a thought from Imam Abdul Latif Finch

December 11, 2015December 7, 2015 / unlimitedmercy

Good opinion of Allah 1

A good opinion of Allah is faith in Him, despite circumstances that come and eventually go. He never rejects faith. Thus, He never rejects a good opinion of Him. If He doesn’t reject it He certainly doesn’t betray it. It follows then that those who maintain a good opinion of their Lord will see it made manifest in one way or another, inshallah.

Have a good opinion of Allah.

Allah will never betray your good opinion of Him because you will never be able to see anything that could be perceived as negative from Him.

Think about how powerful this is.

UM Special: Belief in His Mercy – a Thought from Imam Abdul Latif Finch

December 7, 2015December 7, 2015 / unlimitedmercy

Good opinion of Allah 1

The Quran states,

“O my sons, go and find out about Joseph and his brother and despair not of relief from Allah. Indeed, no one despairs of relief from Allah except the disbelieving people.” (12:87)

As Allah said none despair of the mercy of Allah but the disbelieving folk, they have a bad opinion of Allah in as much as they don’t believe in His mercy. So a good opinion of Allah is believing in His mercy. May we have a good opinion of our Lord and His capacity to relieve us. Amin
