SEEKING SUPPORT FROM ALLAH THROUGH ACTS OF WORSHIP

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-ithnayn. 20th day of Muharram, 1445AH (Monday, 7th August, 2023).

*_SEEKING SUPPORT FROM ALLAH THROUGH ACTS OF WORSHIP_*. BismilLah. 

In the qur'an ALLAH says;

And seek help through PATIENCE and PRAYER, and indeed, it is difficult except for the humbly submissive to ALLAH. Quran 2:45.

Imam ibn kathir in his tafseer stated that;

ALLAH commanded HIS servants to use PATIENCE and PRAYER to acquire the good of this life and the Hereafter. What's the meaning of Patience used in the verse? Some scholars said that it means FASTING."

Al-Qurtubi and other scholars commented,

"This is why Ramadan is called the month of patience," as is mentioned in the Hadith literature.

`PATIENCE' in the Aayah also means, refraining from evil, and this is why `PATIENCE was mentioned along with practicing acts of worship, especially and foremost, the PRAYER.

Also, Ibn Abi Hatim narrated that Umar bin Al-Khattab said,

"There are two types of PATIENCE:

good patience when the disaster strikes,

and a better patience while avoiding the prohibitions of ALLAH." So in summary, we must take our salaat seriously praying ontime and with jamaat as much as possible and voluntary salaat. We must also be patient in our acts of worship and avoid committing sins to earn ALLAH'S support in life and gain PARADISE. 

Refer to Quran 28:80, 29:45 and Also Quran 41:34-35 for more relating to this topic.

*_May ALLAH, AL-MUTAKABBIR (The Supreme, The Majestic) keep guiding and protecting us from all satanic influences_*. Aameen.
