Monotheism (tawhid) and fear of God (taqwa) are the keys to success. Anwar Hazrat Saleev. Friday Sermon: “What does fear of God give to a person? Tafsir verse: “Whoever fears Allah, He creates a way out of the situation.”

6. Settle divorced women (for the specified period) in one of your dwellings according to your income, do not harm them in order to force them out of the dwelling. And if they are pregnant, then spend on them until they are delivered. If a divorced woman is breastfeeding your children, then pay her for feeding and be generous with each other and get rid of stubbornness. If you do not agree with each other because of stinginess or stubbornness, then let the father hire a wet nurse instead of a divorced mother.

7. Let the wealthy spend on his divorced wife according to his wealth with which Allah has endowed him. He who does not have sufficient means, let him spend (on his divorced wife) from what Allah has given him. Allah does not demand from a person more than what He has given him (from his provision). Allah will certainly grant relief after hardship.

We subjected many villages, whose inhabitants, arrogantly, arrogantly disobeyed the commands of their Lord and His messengers, to severe retribution: We counted all their deeds and paid them off for them. We subjected them to painful punishment. And they tasted heavy punishment as retribution for their vile deeds. And their business is over huge loss for them.

10-11. Allah has prepared a painful punishment for the arrogant villagers. So fear the wrath of Allah, O people of sound mind who believe! Allah sent to you a noble, worthy messenger so that he would read to you the verses of Allah, distinguishing truth from falsehood, and lead those who believed and performed pious deeds from the darkness of delusion to the Light of guidance to the right path. And whoever believes in Allah and does good deeds, Allah will bring him into the Gardens of Eden where rivers flow, and there he will abide forever. Indeed, Allah has granted a wonderful destiny to the pious believer!

12. Allah is the One who created seven heavens and as many earths. The commandments of Allah and His Revelation descend among them, so that you know that He is Almighty! He has power over every thing and embraces every thing with His knowledge!

Sura 65 "Divorce"

1. O Prophet! When you give a divorce to your wives, then divorce within the prescribed period, keep track of this period and fear Allah, your Lord. Do not drive them out of their homes, and let them not come out of them unless they commit an obvious abomination. These are the limits of Allah. Whoever transgresses the restrictions of Allah does injustice to himself. You don’t know that Allah may decide differently after this.

When will it come for them fixed time, keep them with you in an amicable way, or let them go in an amicable way. Call two just men from among you as witnesses and be witnesses for the sake of Allah. This is the admonition for those who believe in Allah and the Last Day. For those who fear Allah, He creates a way out

And he gives him inheritance from where he doesn’t even imagine. For those who trust in Allah, He is sufficient. Allah completes His work. Allah has set a measure for every thing.

For those of your women who have stopped menstruating, if you are in doubt, the time limit for divorce is three months, the same as for those who have not menstruated. For pregnant women, the period is set until they are delivered from the burden. For those who fear Allah, He makes things easier.

This is the command of Allah that He has sent down to you. For those who fear Allah, He will forgive their crimes and increase their reward.

Settle them where you live yourself - according to your income. Do not harm them by wanting to embarrass them. If they are pregnant, then keep them until they are delivered. If they breastfeed for you, then pay them a fee and consult among yourselves in a good way. If you begin to burden each other, then another woman will feed him.

Let the one who has wealth spend according to his wealth. And whoever is short of money, let him spend from what Allah has given him. Allah does not burden a person beyond what He has given him. After hardship, Allah creates relief.

8. How many cities disobeyed the commands of their Lord and His messengers! We presented them with a severe bill and subjected them to terrible torture.

They tasted the harmful consequences of their deeds, and the outcome of their deeds was loss.

Allah has prepared a severe torment for them. Fear Allah, O people of understanding who believe. Allah has already sent you a reminder -

11. A Messenger who reads to you the clear verses of Allah to lead those who believe and do righteous deeds from darkness to light. Those who believe in Allah and act righteously, Allah will enter into Gardens of Eden in which rivers flow. They will be there forever. Allah has already made their destiny wonderful!

Allah is the One who created seven heavens and as many earths. The command descends between them so that you know that Allah is capable of every thing and that Allah comprehends every thing with knowledge.

Sura 65 "Divorce"

In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful!

1.
O prophet! When you divorce your spouses,
Then get divorced on time, determined for them,
And count the deadline correctly.
Be afraid of angering Allah, your Master!
And from the houses that belong to them, do not drive them out,
And they themselves should not leave their home,
If they did not commit obvious fornication.
These are the boundaries that Allah has set.
And everyone who breaks them
He will do harm to his soul,
And you don’t know - because by the will of Allah
Everything can change.

2.
When the time appointed for them expires,
Bring them back with dignity
Or part with them with dignity
And call two witnesses from among you,
(Known) for their justice.
And let them establish their testimony
They are (as if) before Allah.
This is a prescription for those
Who believes in Allah and the Last Day.
Who fears the wrath of the Lord,
The Lord will arrange His outcome for him

3.
And he will give him what he needs (for life),
From where he does not know at all.
And whoever places his prayers on the Lord,
He doesn’t need anyone but Him, -
After all, He alone makes all decisions.
Verily, He has established the due measure for everything.

4.
For women who have already completed their regulation over the years,
But if you still have doubts,
The waiting period (for divorce) is three months,
As well as for those who have not yet had a regulator.
Those women who carry life in their wombs,
You have to wait until they lay down their burden.
But the Lord will ease all the burdens
To those who fear His wrath.

5.
This is the command of Allah,
which He sent down for you,
And those who fear the wrath of the Lord,
He will increase the reward and remove all sins.

6.
And let (during the passage of iddat)
They live in the same conditions as you,
According to your income.
Do not harass them in the house.
And if they carry life in their wombs,
Spend on them
Until they lay down their burden.
And since they are feeding your child,
Pay them a reward.
And conduct conversations with each other with dignity,
But if you find it difficult (in this conversation),
Then let another woman feed the child.

7.
And let the rich man
Spends according to his income.
And the one whose share is numbered
Let him spend from what Allah has given Him.
After all, He will not lay a burden on the soul,
Which is more than He assigned her;
For every hardship He will send relief.

8.
After all, how many settlements (on earth)
They arrogantly denied the commandments of the Lord,
They disobeyed His messengers!
With a strong calculation, we calculated them
And they were given over to heavy punishments (on earth).

9.
Then they fully tasted the fruits of their actions,
And their end was (universal) destruction.

10.
Allah has prepared a severe retribution for them,
Therefore, fear His wrath
All who believe (in Him)
And those who have understanding -
Allah has indeed sent a reminder to you -

11.
Messenger who brings you signs from the Lord
Interprets in clear language
To lead the story from darkness to light
Those who do good and believe (in His Truth).
He will lead them into Gardens washed by rivers,
And they will remain there forever, -
Indeed, Allah is for them
I have prepared the most wonderful destiny.

12.
Allah is the One who created seven heavens and as many earths.
Among them His commandments descend,
So that you know the full strength of His might
And the comprehensive scope of His knowledge!

Sura 65 "Divorce"

In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful!

1. O Prophet! When you (i.e. Muslims) give a divorce to your wives, then divorce according to the established period, keep track of the period and fear your Lord. Do not drive [divorced wives] out of their homes, and let them remain there unless they commit obvious abomination. These are the orders of Allah. Whoever transgresses the rules of Allah will commit impiety to his own detriment. You don’t even know that maybe Allah will decide differently after this.

2. When they have completed the prescribed period, then leave them with good things or release them according to reason and Sharia. At the same time, call two just men from among you (i.e., Muslims) as witnesses and confirm the testimony before Allah. This is the instruction for those who believe in Allah, on the Day of Judgment. Whoever fears Allah, He gives a way out [of the situation],

3. provides food from where he is not expecting. For one who trusts in Allah, He is sufficient [as a protector]. Indeed, Allah completes His command. Allah has predetermined a measure for every thing.

4. Those of your wives who have stopped menstruating, if you doubt [the age of their pregnancy], then the period established by him [before entering into a new marriage] is three months, as for those who have not reached [the age of] menstruation . For those wives who are pregnant, the established period is until they are relieved of their burden. Whoever fears Allah, He grants relief from his difficulties.

5. [All] this is the command of Allah, which He has sent down to you. Whoever fears Allah will forgive his evil deeds and increase his reward.

6. Settle them where you yourself settled - according to your income. Do not harm them, so as not to put them in a difficult situation. And if they are pregnant, then support them until they are delivered. If they breastfeed your [children], then pay them and negotiate kindly among yourselves. If you do not agree on good terms, then invite a nurse [to feed].

7. Let him who has wealth pay [his divorced wife] according to his wealth. Whoever is short of money, let him pay part of what Allah has given him. Allah does not demand from anyone more than what He has given him. And after hardships, Allah will certainly grant relief.

8. Oh, how many cities disobeyed the commands of their Lord and His messengers! We sent them severe retribution and punished them with a heavy punishment.

9. And they tasted punishment for their deeds, and their deeds turned out to be a loss [for them].

In the following verses, Allah Almighty lists the mercies that He bestows on the pious:

« (God fearing Allah) provides food from where he doesn’t even expect it.”(at-Talaq, 65/3)

“Whoever fears Allah, He grants relief from his difficulties.[All] this is the command of Allah that He has sent down to you. Whoever fears Allah, He will forgive his evil deeds and increase his reward” (at-Talaq, 65/4-5).

As we see, due to the importance of piety, Allah Almighty calls for it again and again in the verses.

Messenger of Allah once said:

“Oh people! If you make fear of Allah your trade, then food will come to you without saving and trading.”

After that, he read the 2nd verse of Surah at-Talyak. (Haysami, VII, 125).

But from these words of our Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) one should not conclude that there is no need to work. On the contrary, it should be understood as: “If you work with the right intention, Allah will relieve you of difficulties, make your affairs easier, give you food from where you did not expect, forgive your sins, accept your busy work as Ibadu and he will give you a great reward.” On the other hand, destiny (rizq)- it's not just food and drink. These are various material and spiritual benefits, food. This is peace of mind, the ability to receive pleasure, family happiness, the ability to serve Allah in a true way and prepare for the future life, maternal and paternal happiness, health, forgiveness... All this is our lot. (rizq). And to those who fear God (taqwa) material and spiritual benefits of this kind will be granted.

Allah Almighty grants His slaves, the possessors of piety, one more mercy, and it is very important.

The holy verse says:

“O you who believe! If you are God-fearing, Allah will give you the ability to discern[truth and lies] , will forgive you your misdeeds and let you go[sins] “After all, Allah is great in generosity.”(al-Anfal, 8/29).

Due to careful attention to the commands and prohibitions of the Almighty, the servant of Allah is granted such ability and understanding. By distinguishing between good and evil, he will find happiness in both worlds. Even in the most difficult situations, when everything is against him, he will find a way out and turn every situation to his benefit.

The reward for such a life based on fear of God is:

Will be worthy of the praise of the Most High ccxiii, His friendship ccxiv, help against one’s enemies ccxv, His love ccxvi,

Be accepted (makbul) before Allah (al-Hujurat, 49/13),

Improving actions and forgiveness of sins (al-Ahzab, 33/70-71),

Deliverance from sadness about the future life and joy when meeting death (Yunus, 10/63),

Such graces as deliverance from the torments of Hell ccxvii and the attainment of eternal happiness in Paradise ccxviii.

Future life under the mercy of our Lord is reserved for the God-fearing (muttaki) ccxix. That's their safe place ccxx . It is for them that gardens, springs, rivers, cool shade and other benefits of Paradise have been prepared ccxxi.

Allah Almighty says:

“Verily, the God-fearing will be among gardens and streams, on the beds of truth with the mighty ruler"(al-Qamar, 54/54-55).

Can there be any honor greater than this? May Allah honor us all with it! Amen!

IN fourth hadith It is reported that Allah loves those of His servants who live in piety.

IN holy verses it says:

"Allah loves the God-fearing"(Ali Imran, 3/76).

"Allah is on the side of the pious"(al-Baqarah, 2/194; at-Tawba, 9/36; An-Nahl, 16/128).

Allah's love for His servant and His presence with His servant is a blessing whose value cannot be imagined. And Allah Almighty informs that He will grant these incomparable gifts to the God-fearing.

A God-fearing believer is rich in soul and loves good deeds, diligent in doing Ibadats and does not harm anyone. He carefully avoids trampling on the rights of Allah's servants. Having a means of livelihood, he is open to everyone and everyone can turn to him. Such a slave is loved by Allah, and our venerable Prophet, and other slaves of Allah.

Our revered Prophet said:

“Verily, my friends are the God-fearing.”(Abu Dawud, Fitan, 1/4242).

“The people closest to me are those who fear God, who, wherever they are, show piety (taqwa) before Allah.”(Ahmad, V, 235; Haythami, IX, 22).

Because such people are the most noble (karim) of creation, the best and most revered. When in fifth hadith Our revered Prophet is asked who is the best of people, he answers: “ The most God-fearing (muttaqin)."

Allah Almighty divided people into races and gave them different colour skin, nationality, gender, endowed with property and well-being in different ways. There is wisdom in this. People can't choose it for themselves. Therefore, all these above-mentioned qualities are not something that one could truly be proud of. The only value a person has that is praiseworthy in the eyes of Allah is the state of piety, achieved through great effort.

The Holy Quran says:

“Oh people! Verily, We created you as men and women, and made you nations and tribes, so that you may know each other, for the most respected by Allah among you is the most pious. Verily, Allah is the Knower, the Competent” (al-Hujurat, 49/13).

The following incident is very instructive, due to which this verse was revealed. He shows us how revered we are both in the eyes of Allah and in the eyes of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) God-fearing.

Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) once walked around one of the markets in Medina. At the bazaar, one black slave was sold at auction. The slave said:

I have one condition for the person who buys me.

One of the buyers asked:

What is this condition?

The slave replied:

Do not prevent me from performing obligatory (fard) prayers with the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).

One man, accepting this condition, bought a slave.

Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) I saw this slave every day during mandatory (fard) prayers. But one day the slave did not come. Our Prophet asked his owner:

- Where is your slave?

The owner replied:

He has a fever, O Messenger of Allah.

The Messenger of Allah said to the companions:

- Let's go see him.

Everyone got up and went to visit the black slave and wished him recovery. A few days later, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) asked the owner of this slave:

- How is your slave?

He replied:

O Messenger of Allah, he does not have long to live.

Then the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) went to that slave and stayed at his deathbed. When the slave died, he took upon himself to wash him, wrap him in kafan and funeral.

The Companions were surprised at this. Muhajirs said:

We came to these lands, leaving our homeland, property and families, but we never saw the Messenger of Allah show such attention to any of us, either in life, or in illness, or in death.

Ansar we thought:

We sheltered the Messenger of Allah, helped him, supported him with our property, but he preferred some black slave to us.

And then the 13th verse of Surah al-Hujurat was revealed. (Wahidi, pp. 411-412).

Another time, addressing the venerable Abu Dharr, our venerable Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said this about the fact that the only thing that has value and is accepted before Allah is fear of God:

"Look! You are not superior to either the red man or the black man. You can surpass them only by your fear of God.”(Ahmad, V, 158).

Therefore the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) at every opportunity he called on his companions and his community to fear God (taqwa). For example, in his sermons addressed to his companions, he constantly advised them to be God-fearing ccxxii.

One day one of his companions came to him and said:

O Messenger of Allah! I'm going on a journey, give me guidance!

The Messenger of Allah replied:

- The most important thing for you is to be God-fearing of Allah.(Tirmidhi, Da'wat. 45/3445).

When they asked him:

What brings people most to Paradise?

He replied that fear of God and high morality (ahlyak).(Tirmidhi, Birr, 62/2004; Ibn Majah, Zuhd, 29).

When he died, his last words were about fear of God.

IN sixth hadith we come across another recommendation that shows us how important piety is:

“If a person swears about something, and then sees something else that is more consistent with the fear of God, then (having renounced the oath) let him do what is more consistent with the fear of God!”

At its core, an oath is a commitment, and one must be faithful to it. A person who breaks an oath must make amends for it (kaffarat) ccxxiii. Although the oath is so important, our revered Prophet advises, in order to advance in one's piety, to break the oath and act in a way that is more consistent with the fear of God.

How instructive is the following example of this.

To Adi bin Hatim (radiyallahu anhu) a poor man came and asked for one servant's wages or part of it. Adiy said:

Now I have nothing with me that I could give you, except for chain mail and a spear. In order for me to give you what you ask, I have to write a note to my family.

That person did not agree. Adiy (radiyallahu anhu) got angry. He swore:

Look, I swear by Allah, I won’t give you anything!

Then the man agreed to Adiy bin Hatim's proposal. Then Adiy said:

I swear by Allah, if I had not heard the words of our revered Prophet: “ If a person swears about something, and then sees something else that is more consistent with the fear of God, then (having renounced the oath) let him do what is more consistent with the fear of God!", then he would not break his oath.

Then, in atonement (kaffarat) for the broken oath, he showed benefits to that person. (Muslim, Ayman, 15, 19; Imara, 13. Separately, see Bukhari, Ahkam, 5; 6; Ayman, 1; Kaffarat, 10).

Piety is at the forefront of those qualities that Allah requires of us. Therefore, as we see from eighth hadith and other hadiths, Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) I always asked the Almighty only for fear of God. In their du'a he asked:

“Oh my Allah! I ask You for guidance (hidayat), fear of God (taqwa), integrity and wealth of soul.”(Muslim, Zikir, 72; Tirmidhi, Da'wah, 72; Ibn Majah, Du'a, 2).

Going out on his way, he asked:

“...Oh my Allah! On this journey of ours, we ask You for goodness and fear of God, as well as the desire to perform deeds with which You are pleased.(Muslim, Hajj, 425; Abu Daud, Jihad, 72; Tirmidhi, Da'wah, 45-46).

We also ask our Almighty Lord for fear of God and the desire to be God-fearing (muttaki) Muslim.
7. Giving up desires (hava) and passions (khawas) nafsa
٢٠٨. عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللّٰهِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «حُجِبَتِ النَّارُ بِالشَّهَوَاتِ وَحُجِبَتِ الْجَنَّةُ بِالْمَكَارِهِ».

208. Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu anhu) reports that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said:

“Hell is surrounded by what the nafs likes. Paradise is surrounded by things that the nafs does not like.”(Bukhari, Rikak, 28; Muslim, Jannat, 1. Separately, see Abu Dawud, Sunnat, 22; Tirmidhi, Jannat, 21; Nasai, Ayman, 3).

٢٠٩. عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللّٰهِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَمَّا خَلَقَ اللّٰهُ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ لِجِبْرِيلَ: اذْهَبْ فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا فَذَهَبَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَالَ: أَيْ رَبِّ وَعِزَّتِكَ لَا يَسْمَعُ بِهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا دَخَلَهَا ثُمَّ حَفَّهَا بِالْمَكَارِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا جِبْرِيلُ اذْهَبْ فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا فَذَهَبَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَالَ: أَيْ رَبِّ وَعِزَّتِكَ لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلَهَا أَحَدٌ قَالَ فَلَمَّا خَلَقَ اللّٰهُ النَّارَ قَالَ: يَا جِبْرِيلُ اذْهَبْ فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا فَذَهَبَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَالَ: أَيْ رَبِّ وَعِزَّتِكَ لَا يَسْمَعُ بِهَا أَحَدٌ فَيَدْخُلُهَا فَحَفَّهَا بِالشَّهَوَاتِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا جِبْرِيلُ اذْهَبْ فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا فَذَهَبَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَالَ: أَيْ رَبِّ وَعِزَّتِكَ لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ لَا يَبْقَى أَحَدٌ إِلَّا دَخَلَهَا».

209. From Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu anhu) It was reported that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said:

“When Allah Almighty created Paradise, He ordered Jibril:

- Go and look at him!

- Oh my Lord! I swear by Your glory, having heard about the beauty of Paradise, there will not be a single person left who will not enter it.

Allah Almighty has surrounded Paradise with what the nafs does not like. Then He told Jibril:

- Go and look at him!

Jibril went, looked at Paradise, returned and said:

- Oh my Lord! I swear by Your glory, I am afraid that no one will enter it.

When Allah Almighty created Hell, He told Jibril:

- Go and look at him!

- Oh my Lord! I swear by Your glory, having heard about its horrors, there will not be a single person who would enter it.

Allah Almighty has surrounded Hell with what the nafs likes. Then He told Jibril:

- Go and look at him again!

Jibril went, looked at Hell, returned and said:

- Oh my Lord! I swear by Your glory, I fear that there will be no one left who will not enter it.”(Abu Dawud, Sunnat, 21-22/4744; Tirmidhi, Jannat, 21)

٢١٠. عَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ رَضِيَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ مِمَّا أَخْشَى عَلَيْكُمْ شَهَوَاتِ الْغَيِّ فِي بُطُونِكُمْ

وَفُرُوجِكُمْ وَمُضِلَّاتِ الْهَوَى».

210. From Abu Barza (radiyallahu anhu) It is reported that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said:

“Most of all I fear for you, for the base desires of your stomachs and genitals, as well as for the passions (hawa) that lead you astray (dalala).”(Ahmad, IV, 420, 423; Haythami, I, 188; Abu Nuaym, Hilya, II, 32).

٢١١. عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالُوا:

«يَا رَسُولَ اللّٰهِ! حَدِّثْنَا بِكَلِمَةٍ نَقُولُهَا إِذَا أَصْبَحْنَا وَأَمْسَيْنَا وَاضْطَجَعْنَا» فَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَقُولُوا: «اَللّٰهُمَّ فَاطِرَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ عَالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ أَنْتَ رَبُّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ يَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّكَ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ فَإِنَّا نَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ أَنْفُسِنَا وَمِنْ شَرِّ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ وَشِرْكِهِ وَأَنْ نَقْتَرِفَ سُوءًا عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا أَوْ نَجُرَّهُ إِلَى مُسْلِمٍ».

211. Abu Malik al-Ash'ari (radiyallahu anhu) speaks:

The companions of our revered Prophet said to him:

O Messenger of Allah! Teach us du'a, which we would read in the morning, evening and before bed!

Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) advised them to read:

- O Allah! Creator of heaven and earth, knower of the hidden and the manifest! You are the Lord of all. The angels testify that there is no god but You. We resort to You from the evil of our nafs, from the evil of Shaitan, who is stoned, from the shirk into which he wants to plunge us, from committing bad deeds which will turn against us or harm a Muslim."(Abu Dawud, Adab, 100-101/5083).

Allah Almighty said: “Whoever fears Allah, He creates a way out of the situation. And he gives him inheritance from where he does not even imagine” (At-Talaq: 2-3)

According to Abdullah ibn Abbas, the meaning of the verse " For those who fear Allah, He creates a way out of the situation." is that Allah Almighty will protect his slave from all sorrow both in this life and in the next.

Rabbi ibn Haytham said: “Allah will protect a person from doubtful things during life and from torment at the time of death.”
Abdullah ibn Masud and Masruq said: “You should know that everything happens according to the Will of Allah and everything is in His power. He gives if he wishes and does not give if he does not wish. And in these words there is relief for the believers.”

Dahhak and Ikrima said: “Whoever, out of fear of Allah, divorces his wife in accordance with His decree, without using all three rights to talaq at one time, Allah will show him the way to return her and in this way a way out will be found.”

According to Suddi, the above verse refers to divorce and return of the wife according to the sunnah.

The meaning of the final part and the reason for the revelation of the next verse is connected with the story that happened with the son of Auf bin Malik al Ashjai, who was captured and his father turned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with this sad news , to which the Messenger of Allahﷺ told him to be patient and wait for Allah to resolve the situation. Subsequently, his son managed to escape from captivity, as mentioned in some hadiths.

“And he gives him inheritance from where he does not even imagine. For the one who trusts in Allah, He is sufficient. Allah brings His work to the end.”

To the one who fears Allah, He will send rizq from a place from which a believer would never hope or expect to receive it. Allah is sufficient for those who place their complete trust in Him, entrusting to Him the outcome of their affairs.Allah will certainly fulfill His promise, regardless of whether the slave trusts in Him or not. But only the one who trusts will receive forgiveness and reward, while others are deprived of this.

It is reported that Ibn ‘Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, said:

“Once, when I was sitting on horseback behind the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, he said: “O boy, I will teach you a few words: remember Allah and He will protect you, remember Allah and you will find Him before you.” yourself. If (you want) to ask (for something), ask Allah, if (you want) to seek help, turn to Allah for it, and know that if all people come together to do something useful for you, they will benefit you only in that which has been predetermined for you by Allah, and if they come together to harm you, they will harm you only in that which has been predetermined for you by Allah, for the feathers have already been raised and the pages have dried.”

Ahmad 1/293, al-Hakim 3/541-542 and at-Tirmidhi 2516.

تفسير الطبري

Muhammad ibn Jarir at Tabari / 28th juz

Praise be to Allah, the only owner of unsurpassed greatness, indestructible power and eternal glory. Praise be to Allah, who conducts the affairs of the universe as He wishes, according to His wisdom and in a manner befitting His perfection.

We testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone, He has no partners in power, no one shares with Him His exclusive right to worship, no one is worthy of our prayers except Him. No one shares with him His boundless superiority and His infinite bounty.

We testify that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, the best of those who call for truth and prudence.

O Allah! Send peace, blessings and grace upon Your Prophet Muhammad, as well as his family, his companions and all followers.

O servants of Allah! Fear Allah Almighty, because piety- this is the best of garments and a wonderful supply, as well as the best remedy to achieve the pleasure of our Creator.

The Almighty said:

“Whoever fears Allah, He creates a way out of the situation and gives him a destiny from where he does not even imagine.” (Quran 65:2-3).

He promised his God-fearing slaves that he would give them deliverance and a way out of any difficulty and would give them an extensive inheritance and accessible benefits from where they did not expect to receive them.

Allah says:

“Whoever fears Allah, He makes things easier for him. This is the command of Allah that He has sent down to you. He who fears Allah will forgive his sins and increase his reward." (Quran 65:4-5).

He promises that He will make things easier for those who fear Him, and will also atone for sins and increase the reward for those righteous deeds that they do, guided by their own fear of God.

Allah (Great and Glorified is He) said:

“O you who believe! If you fear Allah, He will give you the ability to distinguish between truth and falsehood, forgive you your sins and forgive you. Indeed, Allah has great mercy." (Quran 8:29).

The Great Allah pleases believers that if they are God-fearing, He will give them the ability to discern (that is, He will give them useful knowledge that will allow them to distinguish what is permitted from what is forbidden, truth from falsehood), and will also cleanse them from their sins and forgive them mistakes and will bestow his immense generosity, worthy of a magnanimous Tsar.

If you want to know what “fear of God” (taqwa) is, which gives such wonderful fruits, leaves such a favorable mark on a person’s life and contains so many benefits, then know that the root of fear of God is sincere repentance (tawba ) in all your sins, then constantly turning your heart to your Lord, Who knows everything hidden and obvious. Fear of God is achieved through a firm intention to fulfill one’s religious duties and renounce everything forbidden and illicit, observe the rights of Allah Almighty and the rights of His creations, thereby drawing closer to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.

The sign of a God-fearing person is that he strictly observes the basics of iman, tries to fulfill the institutions and laws of Islam in the most impeccable manner, while always remembering that Allah sees him and sees his heart.

A God-fearing person takes care of his prayer (namaz) and performs it on time, donates funds, paying zakat to those who are due. He observes fasting (eid) in the month of Ramadan and makes a pilgrimage (hajj) to the House of Allah in Mecca.

A God-fearing servant of Allah is one who honors his parents, maintains family ties, does good to his neighbors, and helps the poor. He is honest in his dealings with people. His heart is free from arrogance, anger, bitterness and envy, it is filled with sincerity and the desire for the good of all people.

A God-fearing person does not make prayers and requests to anyone except Allah, does not seek help from anyone except Allah, does not place his hopes and does not fear anyone except Him.

Allah has characterized the personality of a God-fearing person and described what his reward will be in the Hereafter:

“Strive for the forgiveness of your Lord and Paradise, the breadth of which is equal to heaven and earth, prepared for the God-fearing, who give in joy and in sorrow, control anger and forgive people. Indeed, Allah loves the beneficent.

Those who, having committed a vile act or acted unjustly against themselves, remembered Allah and asked forgiveness for their sins - after all, who forgives sins except Allah? - and for those who do not consciously persist in what they have done, their reward will be forgiveness from their Lord and the Gardens of Eden in which rivers flow and in which they will abide forever. How wonderful is the reward of those who do good!” (Quran 3: 133-136).

We ask Allah for His mercy to help us achieve true piety, and may He make us among those who cling with all their strength to the strong rope of Islam and monotheism.

o Zakat is obligatory alms given by wealthy Muslims in favor of the needy sections of society.

o Zakat funds should be spent among eight categories of society, namely: 1) the poor, 2) the needy, 3) people working in the field of collecting zakat, 4) to attract hearts (i.e. to attract people to Islam, 5) for liberation of slaves, 6) people burdened with debts, 7) on the path of Allah (i.e. for people engaged in the struggle for faith), 8) travelers.

During periods of severe crises, people usually become despondent and feel at a loss; panic, nervousness, stress become commonplace, especially emotional personalities are inclined to suicide. The collapse of the economy is accompanied by a peak epidemic of suicides, severe heart attacks and strokes. All this, of course, is the result of Satan’s instigations; people are paying for their erroneous worldviews and for refusing correct and reliable leadership. Even Muslims with weak faith are seized by panic. Lack of knowledge, forgetfulness, neglect of the commandments of the Almighty Creator leads to sad consequences. The merciful Creator does not leave a person in trouble; periods of severe trials end with relief. In Surah Al-Inshirah, Allah Almighty reports this (meaning): “ Truly, with every hardship comes relief. With every hardship comes relief "(94:5-6).

In his faithful guidance, the Creator makes it clear to us that the sustenance and sustenance of man and all living creatures depends only on Allah and no one else. In a number of verses Holy Quran The Almighty reminds people of this, admonishes them and exhorts (meaning): “ Oh people! Remember Allah's blessings to you! Is there any creator other than Allah who would provide you with food from the heavens and the earth? There is no god but Him! How disgusted you are (from recognizing Him as the only god and worshiping Him)! "(35:3). " Who can provide you with provision if He stops providing you with His provision? But they continue to disobey and run away " (67:21). This is a great call to tawhid, for only the Almighty Benefactor deserves to be worshiped. A person should listen more carefully to this call, try to understand the essence of the words of the Almighty, warn himself against any manifestations of shirk (polytheism), since Ar-Razzaq (Giver of blessings and food), Al-Basit (Giver of livelihood and prolongation of life) , Al-Qawiy (All-Powerful), Al-Qayyum (Giver of existence to everything created), Ad-Darr (Depriving of His blessings to those whom He wishes) can both increase food and deprive it, test the descendant of Adam in this world and severely punish in the Hereafter life.

The economic crisis that our society is on the threshold of and which promises to be long and difficult is an event created according to His knowledge and according to His Will - both a test and a punishment. In the hearts of those who have forgotten about this, the most difficult experiences arise; Satan inclines them to fraud, to acquiring property through criminal means, and sows human souls turmoil: riots, strikes, demands on rulers, violent coups become commonplace. The result of all these social cataclysms and upheavals is an even greater deterioration economic situation, and the overthrown power, as a rule, is won by the worst representatives of the rebellious people. It is well known: the revolution is made by romantics, and the scoundrels enjoy its fruits.

The goal of a true believer is the pleasure of Allah Almighty, and he understands that the true Giver is Allah, and creations are only causes (asbab), intermediaries. And therefore, he seeks ways to achieve permitted property, guided by the edifications of the Creator, firmly believing in His promises, for: “ There is not a single living creature on earth that Allah does not provide food for. "(11:6).

Monotheism fills a person’s heart with peace; in especially difficult periods of life, he receives relief by remembering Allah, and turns to Him only with prayers and requests. This is what both the verses of the Koran and the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) teach us. It is reported from Ibn Mas'ud that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “ The one who, experiencing it, will turn to people for help will never get rid of need, but the one who turns to Allah, He will sooner or later send (his) destiny "(Abu Dawood and at-Tirmidhi). That is, you need to understand that Allah gives inheritance, and help in obtaining food or in business is only from the Almighty, and people and everything else are only what Allah helps His servant with.

A very important method to achieve peace of mind and peace of mind the following hadith reveals to us. Zayd ibn Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “ The one whose main intention is this world, Allah will divide his affairs and place his poverty right between his eyes, and he will not receive anything from the world except what is prescribed for him. And the one whose intention was the other world, Allah will gather his affairs together, make his wealth in his heart and this world will come to him on his own, against his will ».

The goal of a true believer is not a comfortable, well-fed life, material wealth for him is only a means of living, giving him the opportunity to be free from the need for creations, so he looks for permitted ways to achieve material goods, not forgetting for a moment that the giver of provision is Allah Almighty. There is no need to be afraid of the troubles that fall on our heads, but we need to be afraid of the one who sends them. Fear of worldly difficulties, of poverty becomes a source of mental anguish, incessant stress, severe depression, a person begins to be haunted by failure after failure, and fear of God leads a person to success, and to success simultaneously in this world and in the next world. This is also a great promise of the Almighty Creator, and we know that what the Creator promised will certainly come true. Allah says (meaning): “ For the one who fears Allah, He creates a way out of the situation and sends fortune from where he does not even expect... For the one who fears Allah, He makes things easier "(Sura 65 "at-Talaq", verse 2-4). Fear of God (taqwa) gives wonderful fruits, hearts filled with tawhid have the most sincere intentions, they are afraid to disobey the Almighty, they observe the rights of Allah Almighty and the rights of His creations. Fear of the created leads a person to shirk (polytheism), and shirk makes all the efforts made by the descendant of Adam (peace be upon him) in vain, subjecting him to endless mental torment. Even an abundance of property or unsurpassed health does not save you from constant difficult experiences; this is a guaranteed loss in another world. Therefore, it is very important for a Muslim to learn to manage his feelings, direct his fears in the right direction, and increase the fear of God in his heart. Tawhid and taqwa- the only keys to good success, and guaranteed success. A very important component of this success is that if all the requirements of the Creator are met, the blessings of this world come without special effort, because " ...Allah gives sustenance without calculation to whomever He wishes "(2:212).

Imam Al-Ghazali said very aptly and accurately about this: “ Poor descendant of Adam! If he had feared Hell as much as he fears poverty, he would have escaped them both! If he had strived for Paradise as he strives for wealth, he would have acquired them both. If he feared Allah in his heart just as he fears people in his behavior, he would be happy both in this world and in the Hereafter».
