Light upon Light!

Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

"And to Allah belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, and to Allah is the return (of all)." Qur'an Nur 24:42

When we read this verse we should feel very very small. We should not need anything except Allah. He is the Master. He can do whatever He wills and to whoever He wills. We seek guidance from Him to do what pleases Him.

"Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His Light is as (if there were) a niche and within it a lamp, the lamp is in glass, the glass as it were a brilliant star, lit from a blessed tree, an olive, neither of the east (i.e. neither it gets sun-rays only in the morning) nor of the west (i.e. nor it gets sun-rays only in the afternoon, but it is exposed to the sun all day long), whose oil would almost glow forth (of itself), though no fire touched it. Light upon Light! Allah guides to His Light whom He wills. And Allah sets forth parables for mankind, and Allah is All-Knower of everything." Qur'an Nur 24:35

Allah increases in guidance to those who adopts guidance. Those who choose to be guided are those who choose to obey Allah and those who choose to be misguided are those who choose to disobey Allah. If we want to be the people of Allah's tawfiq, we must choose to obey Him.

"Verily, Allah is not ashamed to set forth a parable even of a mosquito or so much more when it is bigger (or less when it is smaller) than it. And as for those who believe, they know that it is the Truth from their Lord, but as for those who disbelieve, they say: "What did Allah intend by this parable?" By it He misleads many, and many He guides thereby. And He misleads thereby only those who are Al-Fasiqun (the rebellious, disobedient to Allah)." Qur'an al-Baqarah 2:26

We ask Allah to guide us and protect us from misguidance. Ameen. Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
