True believers never involves in fear, unpleasant circumstances and severe calamities. They never feel alone. They think, their all works are consistent from Allah. Instead of being perplexed they are devoted to Allah with satisfaction tranquillity and prestige. They try to do according to Allah’s commands but they leave on Allah the result of their efforts that let Allah do whatever He likes. They know very well that no work is performed without Allah will or His permission. If Allah takes a trail of His man then He wisheds his goodness for him. Hence whether he suffers from disease or good health, if would be prestige or disgrace riches or poverty, honoured or dishonoured, people appreciate him or not whether life or death, all conditions are similar for the true believer of Allah. He knows what ever will be, will be best for him. Really hearty Satisfaction obtains to the true believers in the world and in the hereafter.
Allah says in Surah Anam Ayat no. 83
وَتِلْكَ حُجَّتُنَا آتَيْنَاهَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ نَرْفَعُ دَرَجَاتٍ مَّن نَّشَاء إِنَّ رَبَّكَ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٌ
“Those are they who shall have the security and they are those who go aright.”
(Surah Anam 6:83)
Allah says in Surah Fath Ayat no. 4
هُوَ الَّذِي أَنزَلَ السَّكِينَةَ فِي قُلُوبِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لِيَزْدَادُوا إِيمَانًا مَّعَ إِيمَانِهِمْ وَلِلَّهِ جُنُودُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا
“He it is who sent down tranquillity into the hearts of the believers that they might have more faith added to their faith.”
(Surah Fath 48:4)
Satisfaction, tranquillity, peace and surety are the symptoms of belief. And opposite of these are fear, loneliness, sorrow are the result of doubt.
Only from fear of Allah and expectation
A Believer of Allah does not expect from anyone. He does not afraid of any creature He fears of his sins because fear of Allah. He hopes from Allah for forgiveness. The centre of fear and expectation is Allah and His excellency for him. If he moves far away from the wild animals or enemies, not to fear of them He goes away far from them because Allah has ordered for his defence. If he expects from any one, then Allah has ordered to take support from each other regarding the work. As a fact his expectation is from Allah only that Allah will accomplish his work with others help. Allah says in Surah Alay Imran Ayat no 172 and 173.????
الَّذِينَ اسْتَجَابُواْ لِلّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ مِن بَعْدِ مَا أَصَابَهُمُ الْقَرْحُ لِلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُواْ مِنْهُمْ وَاتَّقَواْ أَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ الَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمُ النَّاسُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ جَمَعُواْ لَكُمْ فَاخْشَوْهُمْ فَزَادَهُمْ إِيمَاناً وَقَالُواْ حَسْبُنَا اللّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ
“Those to whom the people said: Surely men have gathered against you, therefore fear them, but this increased their faith, and they said: Allah is sufficient for us and most excellent is the Protector.” “So they returned with favour from Allah and (His) grace, no evil touched them and they followed the pleasure of Allah and Allah is the Lord of mighty grace.
(Surah Alay Imran 3:1725-173)
Importance of deeds is on the foundation of belief
Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) has stated in (Usul al-Kafi, Chapter Fazila-te-Yaqeen, Hadith no. 3) that continuously with the faith but small deed is much better than the big one which is without confidence.
And Amirul Mo-mineen Hazrat Ali (a.s.) has said in (Usul al-Kafi Hadith no. 7).???
A man does not get pleasure as long as he wouldnot obtain knowledge and faith. Because whatever he has got was not escape from him and whatever he has lose was not going to available to him. And put him on trial is Allah the Almighty. It is manifests that when a person’s dignity is of Allah’s property, then his strength is also granted by Allah.
To sleep confidently in the state of belief is better
(From Nahjul Balagah) Hazrat Ali (a.s.) says that he heard from one of the disenter from Hazrat Ali (a.s.) (of Neherwan) that he is praying Namaz-e-Shab and the Holy Quran. Hazrat Ali (a.s.) said – To sleep confidently is better than to pray namaz in the suspicious condition. An excellency of the faith is very much that religious persons as well as Prophets asked Allah for the enhancement in faith. Faith, knowledge and belief are the name of one thing and the large portion of verses and traditions are present about its excellency.
