Al-Muhaimin (The Preserver of Safety)

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate
Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

Al-Muhaimin is the One Who watches over His creatures, Who has full control over them, provides sustenance for them, disposes of all of their affairs, and defines for each his term appointed. He is the One Who gives safety, grants security, and removes terror and fear from such His servants as He pleases.

هُوَ اللَّـهُ الَّذِي لَا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْمَلِكُ الْقُدُّوسُ السَّلَامُ الْمُؤْمِنُ الْمُهَيْمِنُ الْعَزِيزُ الْجَبَّارُ الْمُتَكَبِّرُ ۚ سُبْحَانَ اللَّـهِ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

Allah is He, than Whom there is no other god;- the Sovereign, the Holy One, the Source of Peace (and Perfection), the Guardian of Faith, the Preserver of Safety, the Exalted in Might, the Irresistible, the Supreme: Glory to Allah! (High is He) above the partners they attribute to Him.

[Qur'an Al-Hasr 59:23]

According to Imam Al-Ghazali, if anyone of Allah's servants is sure of Allah's preserving the safety, sustenance, term appointed, as a part of His Control over the whole existence by virtue of His Power and Wisdom, he soon comes to observe Allah Almighty in all what he does and says, fears him, refrains from sins, mistakes and acts of disobedience, safeguards himself against His Punishment, and wards off evil.

If one puts in his mind the magnificence and greatness of this Name of Allah Almighty, he will live in its shade, safe and secure, having no fear of none but Allah Almighty. If such person attains this high degree of being under the Care of Allah Almighty, he will find none from amongst mankind to admire, for indeed, his heart becomes filled with the love of Allah alone, with no place in it for anyone else.

O my God, Al-Muhaimin, the Preserver of Safety, Whose Knowledge encompasses everything in the worlds, and Whose Power is enforceable in the whole existence: manifest with light the secret of this Noble Name, in order that I could be able to have full knowledge of the mysteries of my soul, and what is hidden within my heart; and thus I would observe the intentions of mine, and set right the conduct of my organs, and subjugate them to do only what You love, and enforce my willpower, with the help of Your Might, over my organs, in order to devote them to acting upon the principles of Your Religion.

Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
