Anam 50-54
50- I DO NOT SAY TO YOU THAT I HAVE CONTROL OF WHAT BELONGS TO ALLAH, OR THAT I KNOW WHAT IS HIDDEN AND I DO NOT SAY THAT I AM AN ANGEL, I JUST FOLLOW WHAT IS REVEALED TO ME. SAY: “ARE THE BLIND LIKE THE ONE WITH SIGHT, DO YOU NOT THINK?”
51- AND USE IT TO WARN THOSE WHO FEAR BEING GATHERED AND TAKEN TO THEIR LORD WITHOUT HAVING A SUPPORTER OR SOMEONE TO INTERCEDE, SO THAT THEY MAY BE PIOUS AND GUARD THEMSELVES.
52- AND DO NOT TURN OUT THOSE WHO CALL UPON THEIR LORD BY DAY AND NIGHT, SEEKING HIS FACE (HIM ALONE), YOU ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR JUDGEMENT AND THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR JUDGEMENT, IF YOU SEND THEM AWAY, YOU WILL BE AN UNJUST TRANSGRESSOR.
53- THIS IS HOW WE TEST SOME PEOPLE WITH OTHERS, SO THAT THEY MAY SAY: “ARE THOSE THE ONES ALLAH BESTOWED HIS BOUNTY UPON AMONG US?” DOES ALLAH NOT KNOW THE THANKFUL BEST?
54- AND WHEN THOSE BELIEVING IN OUR AYAHS COME TO YOU, SAY: “PEACE UPON YOU, YOUR LORD ORDAINED HIMSELF TO BE MERCIFUL, HE WHO DOES WRONG OUT OF IGNORANCE, AND THEN REPENTS AFTERWARDS AND DOES RIGHTEOUS DEEDS; HE (ALLAH) IS MOST FORGIVING AND MOST MERCIFUL”.
Allah the Highest commands His messenger prayer and peace upon him not tell the believers and disbeliever that he has powers like those of Allah the Highest. He can not give other than what he possesses, and can not know what is hidden from him. When Gabriel peace upon him went to the mosque in Medina in the form of a man, and spoke to Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him saying: “Tell me about the hour” (meaning the time of the Day of Resurrection). Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him answered: “The person being asked does not know about it any more than the one who asks”.
Allah the Highest chooses to let His prophets and messengers know what He wishes only. Allah the Highest said: “HE KNOWS WHAT IS BEFORE THEM AND WHAT IS BEHIND THEM, BUT THEY KNOW NONE OF HIS KNOWLEDGE EXCEPT WHAT HE WILLS” (S:2 A:255)
Then Allah the Highest makes an analogy telling us that the disbeliever is like a blind person who can not find his way, while the believer is the one who sees and is able to take the right way to his Lord.
The believers fear the day when they will be gathered and taken to Allah the Highest to be judged, when they will have to stand on their own without supporters or help. Because they believe in that day, they fear it. Allah the Highest however tells us that some will be allowed to intercede to the extend He allows them to, saying: “WHO IS HE WHO MAY INTERCEDE TO HIM EXCEPT WITH HIS PERMISSION?” (S:2 A:255)
The believers will take heed of this warning and do their best to be pious and guard themselves from doing what displeases Allah the Highest, so they will have to answer for it on that day.
At this age, as well as in the past, people claim to know the future. Reading the palm, the tea cup and the coffee cup, looking at the crystal ball, and looking at sea shell, are seen by some Muslims as harmless fun, and many believe in what the fortune tellers tell them. This might include when they will die, their children number and gender, their marriage, health, and much more. Seeking to know the future from fortune tellers and believing them is a great sin. Because this is claiming to have the knowledge only Allah the Highest knows.
“AND DO NOT TURN OUT THOSE WHO CALL UPON THEIR LORD BY DAY AND NIGHT, SEEKING HIS FACE (HIM ALONE)”
Allah the Highest commands His messenger prayer and peace upon and the Muslims in general not to mistreat or turn the believers away. It is reported that some of the disbelievers said to Allah’s messenger uncle Abu Taleb that they will hold Mohamed prayer and peace upon him in higher esteem if he was not often in the company or slaves, servants or poor people. This Ayah was sent down to answer them. It shows that there is social equality before Allah the Highest. The only thing that affects the believers esteem before Allah the Highest is piety. “THE MOST HONOURABLE OF YOU BEFORE ALLAH ARE THE MOST PIOUS”.
Allah the Highest told His messenger prayer and peace upon him that he was wrong when he frowned and looked away when a blind and poor Muslim man went to speak to him, at the time he was speaking to some of the leaders or Qurish. It is in Sorah Called “Abase” which means frowned. Allah the Highest said: “HE FROWNED AND LOOKED AWAY * WHEN THE BLIND MAN WENT TO HIM * HOW DO YOU KNOW, HE MIGHT BE COMING TO PURIFY HIMSELF * OR TO BE REMINDED WITH WHAT WILL BENEFIT HIM * AS FOR WHO DOES NOT WANT * YOU GIVE THEM YOUR FULL ATTENTION * AND DO NOT MIND IF HE DOES NOT PURIFY HIMSELF * AS FOR HE WHO WALKS EAGERLY TO YOU * WITH FEAR IN HIS HEART * YOU DO NOT GIVE YOUR ATTENTION TO”. (S:80 A:1-10)
So we are all temptation to each other, and a test to one another, in every situation and time. When the disbelievers saw that many of the believers are not rich and powerful as they were, they felt that Allah would not have chosen the poor and meek and left the wealthy and powerful. However, Allah looks at our hearts not wealth. Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “Allah does not look at you your figures and looks, but he looks at your hearts; piety is here, piety is here, piety is here (pointing at his heart)”
This is how we should value people, not on the basis of their power and wealth, but on the basis of their piety and character.
Allah the Highest commands His messenger prayer and peace upon him and the Muslims that when one sees a believer, one should greet them with peace, which is the greeting of Islam. Then there is a special message here for the believers, is that Allah the Highest ordained himself to be Merciful to them. Mercy is to be expected for the believers on the Day of Resurrection. Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “When Allah created the creation, He wrote in his book which He has over the throne that ‘My Mercy overcomes My Anger’”. (Bukhari and Muslim)
“HE WHO DOES WRONG OUT OF IGNORANCE, AND THEN REPENTS AFTERWARDS AND DOES RIGHTEOUS DEEDS; HE (ALLAH) IS MOST FORGIVING AND MOST MERCIFUL”.
To repent is to stop doing that sin, and ask for forgiveness and not to return to committing that sin again. Then one should do good deeds instead of the bad deeds.
No one should ever despair of Allah’s Mercy, for no sin is beyond Allah’s Mercy Except disbelieving or worshipping others besides Him.
