“Hasbunallaahu Wa ni’mal Wakeel” these are words which made the kings with immense power, like pharaoh and namrood, tremble and shake. Words which, brought fear to the armies of Kuffār. Words which if uttered in its true sense while believing in each letter, fires are made cold, armies of tughāt are struck with fear and forced to flee, swords which are raised over heads would fall in fear, seas would be cut into halves. What harm can be brought over a man whose reliance is upon the Controller of all the mankind? Whose army is not known except to Him alone? Who if wishes anything says “be” and it happens? Yes my brethren, it is the reliance upon Allāh Almighty alone. It is to know in every circumstance, that Allāh is enough as a helper, as the One who provides provision, as a Savior; to know that He is enough against all the creation.
When this is really understood by the slave, then in the most difficult time, it would be said with full belief “what do you think O Abu Bakr about two whose third is Allāh?”, it would be said when swords are raised over your skull without the slightest doubt “Allāh will save me”, it would be said when great armies get together against you, or when the whole nation is out to kill you, even worse, when they have tied you, when they have jailed you, when they have put you in the catapult, and at the moment being thrown into a fire, a destruction, which your eyes see, and surely your eyes aren’t deceiving you! In this difficult time, when the heart of the believer shines, when the light of Eeman eliminates all doubts about The Qadīr, and when it is firmly believed that the all the Power is His alone, the fire is His, all the creation belong to Him, and when it is said in this moment with all certainty “Hasbunallāhu Wani’mal Wakēl” (enough for me is Allāh, and how good is the One who is relied upon), the fire becomes cold, and the tughāt trembles and the plots of Kuffār fails in front of the plot of Al Qahhār.
So this is what you must carry with you in your actions and beliefs, in this hard difficult trip. So learn O slave of Saboor and ponder on the meanings of the Qur’an and the stories in which incidents of such are explained. But now make a difference in the way you read. While you read, read as if you are the one who is experiencing it, or a person who might experience those events, for who knows? If you are loved by Allāh, He will surely send trails on you. Read! Knowing, it is the path of the people on whom Allāh has bestowed upon. This is the prayer you recite in al-fātiha at least 17 times in your prayer, to show their path. So now that you have asked Allāh their path! Know this is their path.
Ponder while you are alone on the words like “lā hawla walā quwwata illā billāh” (there is no movement or Power except with the help of Allāh) If you really comprehend the meaning of these words so short as a sentence, yet so strong in meaning, you will then really fear none. Then when this is learnt by your action and not by theory, you will really understand the meanings of the words “know that even if the Ummah got together to harm you with anything, they can never harm you except with what Allāh has already decreed over you…”
And know that these can only be learnt in its true meaning after you start running to the fields of Jihād, and give the true Dawah in which absolute no compromise is made, which the satans who attribute knowledge to themselves, do. And when blood is in your throat for Allāh’s sake, and when you are struck with pain due to the hatred received from the ones you loved –due to no reason except for standing firm in the Millat of Ibrāhim without hesitation, fearing none and not fearing the results which will occur by telling what is Haqq for Allāh’s sake, and when the whole world is against you due to them being in the trench of Shaitan while you are in the trench of Rahman, so when you are faced with trials like this, you will truly know the meaning of the reliance and turning to Allāh. So learn it with action.
“Now only O Umar! (Your Emān is complete)” Words said to Umar RA. Words if thought about, it would bring fear into hearts empty from this sifat. But has any pondered why these words by the prophet of mercy were said? The reason behind this is the reason which in reality took you out your house, your wealth, your family to strive to make Allāh’s word supreme. That is to ‘Love Allāh and His messenger and making Jihād in His Path more than anything else in this world’. This is what, if not found in our hearts, we are warned to wait for Allāh’s order to fall on us! This is one the first and most important sifat mentioned by Allāh about those who will be brought after making us astray if we turn our backs to this religion “O you who believe! Whoever from among you turns back from his religion (Islâm), Allâh will bring a people whom He will love and they will love Him; humble towards the believers, stern towards the disbelievers, fighting in the Way of Allâh, and never afraid of the blame of the blamers. That is the Grace of Allâh which He bestows on whom He wills. And Allâh is All*Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All*Knower.”.
So know that the ‘real Hijrah is to leave the love of everything, from your wealth and family in front of the love of Allaah and His messenger’. This is the real Hijrah that we must do, the most difficult one, and if we do this Hijrah, we will be successful, and the difficulties of the physical Hijrah and all the trails will become easy in front of you.
The threats that you feared from the moment you embraced this path, from loosing your family, your land and above all your life will become insignificant for you. As now you will understand that you have a reason why none of these hold any importance when it comes to sacrificing these for Allāh’s sake. And after this love has really entered your heart, your limbs and your blood and your flesh will beg from you to sacrifice these to it’s Owner out of love for him.
Then after knowing that fact, now you will understand why the magicians said to the pharaoh when the pharaoh with all his apparent power threatened them “So I will surely cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you on the trunks of date-palms, and you shall surely know which of us [I (Fir'aun * Pharaoh) or the Rabb of Mûsa (Moses) (Allâh)] can give the severe and more lasting torment."
They said without hesitation “We prefer you not over the clear signs that have come to us, and to Him (Allâh) Who created us. So decree whatever you desire to decree, for you can only decree (regarding) this life of the world. Verily! We have believed in our Rabb, that He may forgive us our faults, and the magic to which you did compel us. And Allâh is better as regards reward in comparison to your [Fir'aun's (Pharaoh)] reward, and more lasting (as regards punishment in comparison to your punishment)."
Subhānallāh! What love and what sacrifice they had, for they are willing to loose everything, even their lives for the sake of Allāh! The torture in which their limbs will be cut! Their bones crushed, their lives lost, their status lost is so insignificant to them! Can you really understand the pain they will go through? When cold blades are thrust in to their flesh to cut their limbs? When steel nails will crush their bones while they are crucified? Can you imagine their pain when in that moment they see that the whole world is against them? Mocking at them and laughing at them? Saying that they are madmen, while all these tortures are done with them? Can you imagine how it is to feel to loose your promised positions and status? Leaving all that in seconds after accepting this true way?
But still you see them to firm, to be satisfied, to be patient! Why? What is the reason behind all this? It is because they love Allāh more than all what is being lost, cut and crushed! They knew from the first moment they embraced Islam, that all what they own and all what they were promised from this tāghūt is nothing compared to the love they have for Allāh and compared to what Allāh has promised for them! So does anything shake their Emān after the true love for Allāh has entered their noble hearts? Nay!
And didn’t you also ponder over the fact that these were people whom Allāh mentioned in the Qur’an praising them more than once? So tell me who are the most remembered? And although their knowledge was not so much in what they embraced, but due to their steadfastness and patience and Taqwa they were made leaders in the religion of Allāh whom we are encouraged to follow. They have written their story that day with their own blood, in red, although now it is radiant amongst us in our noble book, in gold!
Now my dear brother, if you want to stay firm on this harsh but noble path and if you want to go and get united with the people whom you always pray in your prayers to get resurrected with “then they will be in the company of those on whom Allâh has bestowed His Grace, of the Prophets, the Siddiqûn (those followers of the Prophets who were first and foremost to believe in them, like Abu Bakr As*Siddiq RA the martyrs, and the righteous. And how excellent these companions are!”, then make this your status, and be like them!
