Which path you’d rather to side with, a war against Allah, or in the shade of His mercy and blessings? It’s your call.
You do not who is good and who is bad in the sight of Allah the Almighty.Avoid enmity lest it bring you in a situation where you’re at war with Allah, God forbids.
You do not who is good and who is bad in the sight of Allah the Almighty, thus befriending people, or at least refraining from feelings of envy, hatred and bigotry can save your life and bring forth much blessings to your worldly life as well as the Other…
Behold what the noble Prophet said in a Hadith Qudsi (sacred Hadith), narrated by Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him,
“Allah Almighty said, ‘I have declared war on anyone who shows enmity to a friend of Mine. My slave does not draw near to Me with anything I love more than what I have made obligatory on him. And my slave continues to draw near to Me with supererogatory actions until I love him. When I love him, I become his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes, and his foot with which he walks. If he were to ask Me for something, I would give it to him. If he were to ask Me for refuge, I would give him refuge.'” [al-Bukhari]
So which path you’d rather to side with, a war against Allah, or in the shade of His mercy and blessings? It’s your call.
Avoid enmity, it’s useless.
Wassalaam,
Maha Youssuf
