Book Name:Yaqeen Ki Barkatain
Our eyes can make mistakes countless times, but the Prophet’s words are never mistaken.[1]
Total belief and its blessings
Dear Islamic brothers! This is important. Whether we understand something or not, whether our limited minds can reach the depth of a matter or not; whatever has been said by Allah and His Messenger صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is the truth. If we cannot understand something, the fault lies in our understanding—not in the truth itself. This is why we must have certainty (yaqīn). There are many blessings that come with this.
The Beloved Prophet, صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: “The finest thing granted to mankind in this world is certainty (yaqīn) and well-being (ʿāfiya). Ask for these from Allah.”[2]
Ḥasan al-Baṣrī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه mentioned this hadith and said:
The Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has spoken the truth. It is through certainty that one attains Paradise, runs far from Hell, completes his obligations, and remains steadfast in faith. As for well-being, great goodness has been placed in this.[3]
What is perfection in worship?
Luqmān the Wise رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه advised his son by saying, “Every action has a perfection and an apex. The perfection of worship is abstinence and complete certainty.”[4]
