[16].Surah An-Nahl [The Bees] : Ayat 93

Ayat 93. And had Allah willed, He could have made you (all) one nation, but He sends astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. But you shall certainly be called to account for what you used to do.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-Aas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) recited the Words of Allah, the Exalted, and the Glorious, about Ibrahim (PBUH) who said: "O my Rubb! They have led astray many among mankind. But whosoever follows me, he verily, is of me". (14:36) and those of `Isa (Jesus) (PBUH) who said: "If You punish them, they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them, verily, You, only You, are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise". (5:118). Then he [SAWW](PBUH) raised up his hands and said, "O Allah! My Ummah, my Ummah,'' and wept; Allah, the Exalted, said: "O Jibril (Gabriel)! Go to Muhammad [SAWW](PBUH) and ask him: `What makes you weep?" So Jibril came to him and asked him (the reason of his weeping) and the Messenger of Allah informed him what he had said (though Allah knew it well). Upon this Allah said: "Jibril, go to Muhammad   [SAWW](PBUH) and say: `Verily, We will please you with regard to your Ummah and will never displease you".

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah An-Nahl Ayat 93. He sends astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. This Hadith makes two points clear: Firstly, the kindness and mercy which the Prophet [SAWW](PBUH) had for his Ummah, a full manifestation of which will be seen on the Day of Resurrection. Secondly, the love that Allah has for His Prophet, Muhammad [SAWW](PBUH). Both these benefits will then go to the advantage of the faithful Muslims as they will be then blessed with Mercy and forgiveness of Allah. May Allah include us among them.
