friends, dato and tansri,
we move on with mufti waseem khan of trinidad/tobago to ayat 33 up to ayat 39.
very important group of ayats for the recalcitrant elites; movers and shakers of industry and high society; 'political' royalties and 'royal' royalties; etc and etc.....
Those who were despised say unto those who were proud: Nay but (it was your) scheming night and day, when ye commanded us to disbelieve in Allah and set up rivals unto Him. And they are filled with remorse when they behold the doom; and We place carcans on the necks of those who disbelieved. Are they requited aught save what they did? (33) And We sent not unto any township a warner, but its pampered ones declared: Lo! we are disbelievers in that which ye bring unto. (34) And they say: We are more (than you) in wealth and children. We are not the punished! (35) Say (O Muhammad): Lo! my Lord enlargeth the provision for whom He will and narroweth it (for whom He will). But most of mankind know not. (36) And it is not your wealth nor your children that will bring you near unto Us, but he who believeth and doeth good (he draweth near). As for such, theirs will be twofold reward for what they did and they will dwell secure in lofty halls. (37) And as for those who strive against Our revelations, challenging, they will be brought to the doom. (38) Say: Lo! my Lord enlargeth the provision for whom He will of His bondmen, and narroweth (it) for him. And whatsoever ye spend (for good) He replaceth it. And He is the Best of Providers. (39) ..........
on another account with respect to iman and amal, someone asked me recently why sayyidina abu bakr was very special....why nabi opined that, 'his 'iman and amal on one side' , would tip the scale of all the compounded 'iman and amal of all the sahabats '?, so to speak, quoting a very well known tradition.
he did not pray or zikr exceptionally more than the other sahabats.
nor was he the champion in zakat, saum and sedekah...
nor was he the champion in zakat, saum and sedekah...
if you ask the late tok guru hj nik aziz, he would opined that , ' pasal dio punya shahadah dan dia punya fatihah kemah keming, tok leh nok genjok sejengkal pong!...tok leh nok tek doh! '
let us revisit surah al fatihah and listen to shaykh abu talha's commentary on it.
at least if we cannot be abu bakr, since there is only one abu bakr, we know what it is that make abu bakr, abu bakr!
