Yunes 88-89
88- AND MOSES SAID: MY LORD, YOU HAVE GIVEN PHARAOH AND HIS INNER CIRCLE LUXURY AND WEALTH IN THIS LOWER LIFE, MY LORD, THEY MISGUIDE PEOPLE FROM YOUR PATH, ALLAH, I BEG YOU TO DESTROY THEIR WEALTH AND HARDEN THEIR HEARTS, SO THAT THEY DO NOT BELIEVE UNTIL THEY SEE THE PAINFUL PUNISHMENT.
89-HE (ALLAH) SAID: YOUR DAWA HAS BEEN ANSWERED, THEREFORE STRAIGHTEN UP, AND DO NOT FOLLOW THE PATH OF THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW.
Wealth and the manifestations of wealth are not always a blessing, for they are often a test and temptation from Allah the Highest.
Luxury homes, cars, jewellery etc. are manifestations of wealth. They tell people about the degree of our wealth in this Lower Life, as Allah the Highest calls it. Wealth and its manifestations, do not offer a person a special status with Allah the Highest as it does with people on Earth, rather they might make people less receptive to advice and more prone to arrogance.
In his anger, Moses, peace upon him, begged Allah the Highest to punish Pharaoh and his inner circle through:
- Destroying their wealth in this life.
- Hardening their hearts so that they did not believe so that they would be punished according.
Destroying their wealth makes them suffer in this lower life, while hardening their hearts makes them suffer in this life and in the Hereafter.
Allah the Highest answered the Dawa of Moses and Aaron, for Allah the Highest always answers the Dawa of His prophets and messengers, peace upon them all.
Mohamed, prayer and peace upon him, was often, assaulted by the disbelievers, mocked and insulted, he was stoned out of Taef when he went to speak to them about Islam. Gabriel, peace upon him, went to see him, and told Mohamed, prayer and peace upon him, that Allah the Highest sent with him the Angel in charge of the Mountains, and that Mohamed, prayer and peace upon him, could order him to let the great mountains around Makah fold down on the town, the angel will do this.
Mohamed, prayer and peace upon him, was very merciful to his people and, and asked Allah the Highest to give his people more time to believe and said: “May be that from them will come those who worship Allah”.
Allah the Highest gave them more time, and eventually most of them embraced Islam, and helped to spread Islam throughout the world.
We thank Allah the Highest, for His kind and compassionate messenger, Mohamed, prayer and peace upon him.
