THE COMMAND TO STAND FIRM and STRAIGHT ON THE TRUTH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm Arba'a, 16th day of Dhul-Qa'dah 1446AH, Wednesday, 14th May 2025. 

*_THE COMMAND TO STAND FIRM and STRAIGHT ON THE TRUTH_*. BismilLah. 

ALLAH Azzawajal says in Qur'an 11:113

وَلَا تَرۡكَنُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ فَتَمَسَّكُمُ ٱلنَّارُ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِنۡ أَوۡلِيَآءَ ثُمَّ لَا تُنصَرُونَ 

And do not incline toward those who do wrong, lest you be touched by the Fire, and you would not have other than ALLAH any protectors; then you would not be helped.

ALLAH, the Exalted, commands HIS Messenger and HIS believing servants to be firm and to always be upright. This is of the greatest aid for gaining victory over the enemy and confronting the opposition. ALLAH also forbids transgression, which is to exceed the bounds (of what is allowed). Verily, transgression causes destruction to its practitioner, even if the transgression was directed against a polytheist. Then, ALLAH Azzawajal informs that HE is All-Seer of the actions of HIS servants. HE is not unaware of anything, and nothing is hidden from HIM. 

Concerning ALLAH'S statement, 

وَلاَ تَرْكَنُواْ إِلَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ

(And incline not toward those who do wrong,) `Ali bin Abi Talhah said that Ibn `Abbas said, "Do not compromise with them." Ibn Jarir said that Ibn `Abbas said, "Do not side with those who do wrong." This is a good statement. This means, "Do not seek assistance from wrongdoers, because it will be as if you are condoning their actions (of evil)." 

فَتَمَسَّكُمُ النَّارُ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ مِنْ أَوْلِيَآءَ ثُمَّ لاَ تُنصَرُونَ

(lest the Fire should touch you, and you have no protectors other than ALLAH, nor you would then be helped.) This means that you will not have besides ALLAH any friend who can save you, nor any helper who can remove you from HIS torment.

*_May ALLAH Azzawajal keep guiding and protecting us from all satanic influences_*. Aameen.
