UM Special: Truth v Falsehood – Quran Tafsir

Good opinion of Allah 1

 “Customarily, God, be He blessed and exalted, causes falsehood to appear before the Truth. Once falsehood appears the Truth then apprehends it such that no trace of it remains. ‘The Truth has come and falsehood has vanished-falsehood is ever vanishing.’ (17:81) Falsehood, whenever it does seem to be around, isn’t actually there, so, when the Truth appears falsehood continues to be- as if it didn’t exist, in the first place.”

(Shaikh Ibrāhīm Niās, may God be pleased with him, Fī Riyādh al-Tafsīr, Vol. 4, pp. 114)

UM Special: Your Opinion of People – Quran & Hadith

Good opinion of Allah 1

“O you who believe, avoid most suspicion. Indeed some suspicion is a crime. And do not spy and do not backbite one another. Would any of you like to eat his brother’s dead flesh? No, you would hate it. And fear Allah.” (49: 12)

“ُThere are two characteristics that have no superior good : a good opinion of Allah and a good opinion of the slaves of Allah. There are two characteristics that have no superior evil : a bad opinion of Allah and a bad opinion of the slaves of Allah.” -Hadith

Have a good opinion of Allah.

UM Special: Surah Ad-Duha – Quran

Good opinion of Allah 1

  1. By the forenoon (after sun-rise);

  2. And by the night when it is still (or darkens);

  3. Your Lord (O Muhammad ()) has neither forsaken you nor hated you.

  4. 4. And indeed the Hereafter is better for you than the present (life of this world).

  5. And verily, your Lord will give you (all i.e. good) so that you shall be well-pleased.

  6. Did He not find you (O Muhammad ()) an orphan and gave you a refuge?

  7. And He found you unaware (of the Qur’an, its legal laws, and Prophethood, etc.) and guided you?

  8. And He found you poor, and made you rich (selfsufficient with selfcontentment, etc.)?

  9. Therefore, treat not the orphan with oppression,

  10. And repulse not the beggar;

  11. And proclaim the Grace of your Lord (i.e. the Prophethood and all other Graces).

 – Surah Ad-Duha

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

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

Quran recitation & mercy – Hadith on Mercy

حديث أبى هريرة عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال (ما اجتمع قوم في بيت من بيوت الله يتلون كتاب الله ويتدارسونه فيما بينهم إلا نزلت عليهم السكينة وغشيتهم الرحمة وحفتهم الملائكة وذكرهم الله فيمن عنده). (صحيح مسلم)

Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him said, that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said: No people gather in a mosque, reciting the Quran, and studying it amongst themselves but tranquillity descends upon them and they are overwhelmed with mercy while the Angels surround them and God mentions them with those who are with Him.

Sahih Muslim

Allah loves compassion – Hadith on Mercy

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ‏:‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ رَفِيقٌ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ، وَيُعْطِي عَلَيْهِ مَا لاَ يُعْطِي عَلَى الْعُنْفِ‏.

Abdullah ibn Mughaffal reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “Allah is compassionate and loves compassion. He gives for compassion what He does not give for harshness.”

Bukhari’s al-Adab al-Mufrad 47
