‘Those on Whom Allah bestowed His Grace’ are, according to the Qur’an, the Prophets, the truthful, the martyrs and the righteous. There is only one God and all the dwellers of this earth and heaven are in need of Him, subject to His Judgement and Command in this world and the next and so they should worship Him alone. The path of those on Whom You have bestowed Your Grace.’ A straight line is the shortest path between two points.Īll the prophets Allah sent to their people called to the Straight Path of Allah. Everything other than You is in need of You. ‘You alone we worship, and to You alone we turn for help.’ 0 Allah! We worship You alone. He will also punish the wrongdoers with Jahannam (Hellfire). Allah will reward those who have iman and do right actions with Jannah (Paradise). They may escape justice in this world, but they will not escape the punishment they deserve on that day. Besides, it is a warning for the wrongdoers that Allah is well aware of their misdeeds. They always remain hopeful of receiving the reward in the afterlife. They do not deviate from the path of doing well. They suffer untold miseries and injustices in this life and remain steadfast. This gives courage and support to the believers. The belief of accountability in the Aakhirah (Hereafter) is the central part of imaan. On that day, those who do right actions will be rewarded, and those who do wrong actions will be punished. On that day, He alone will be the Master, and no one will be allowed to speak without His permission. His Mercy, knowledge and forgiveness encompass everything in existence! ‘Master of the Day of Judgement.’Īllah is the Master both in this life and on the Day of Judgement. The ‘Most kind, The Most Merciful.’ We live in Allah’s Mercy. The Lord of all the worlds means that He is the Master of every single aspect of Life of this world and the afterlife, of everything seen and unseen.Ī world (aalam) is something other than Allah, and everything other than Allah is completely subject to Him and in need of Him.Įverything other than Allah is His slave and the result of His blessing. We start the day, for example, by saying, Praise be to Allah who brought us to life after causing us to die (sleep is like death), and to Him is the Resurrection.’Īllah alone is the One who deserves to be praised and to whom we should be grateful.
