Ayat 128. Truly, Allah is
with those who fear Him (keep their duty unto Him) , and those who are
Muhsinun (good-doers).
Hazrat Abdullah bin
Masud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: the Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) used to supplicate:
"Allahumma inni as'alukal-huda, wat-tuqa, wal-`afafa, wal-ghina (O
Allah! I beseech You for guidance, piety, chastity and
contentment).'' [Muslim Book 35, Chapter 17, Hadith #
6566].
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah An- Nahl Ayat 128.Truly, Allah is with
those who fear Him (keep their duty unto Him) "Guidance'' means
guidance towards virtue which one needs at every step. The ability to do good
and steadfastness on the Right Path is also covered by the term guidance. To
comply with the Orders of Allah and to prevent oneself from what He has
forbidden is Taqwa (fear of Allah), the importance of which needs
no elaboration. `Affaf is prevention from sins. It also means evasion from
seeking help from others. Ghina means riches which makes one independent of
others so much so that all one's hopes are centered on Allah Alone. The prayer
quoted in this Hadith is very comprehensive
indeed.
