[18].Surah Al-Kahf [The Cave]: Ayat 51

 

Ayat 51. I (Allah) made them (Iblis and his offspring) not to witness (nor took their help in) the creation of the heavens and the earth and not (even) their own creation, nor was I (Allah) to take the misleaders as helpers. [Tafseer] Allah wants man's good: how can He take Evil for His partner? (ALLAH made them not) i.e. the angels and the satans (to witness the creation of the heavens and the earth) when Allah created them, (nor their own creation) when Allah created them; it is also said that this means: Allah did not seek the help of angels and satans to create the heavens and the earth or to create them; (nor choose I misleaders) the disbelievers, the Jews, Christians and idol worshippers (for (My) helpers).  

Hazrat Al-Mughirah bin Shu`bah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) used to say at the conclusion of prayer: "La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul-mulku, wa lahul-hamdu, wa Huwa `ala kulli shai'in Qadir. Allahumma la mani`a lima a'tayta, wa la mu`tiya lima mana`ta, wa la yanfa`u dhal-jaddi, minkal-jaddu (there is no true god except Allah. He is One and He has no partner with Him, His is the sovereignty and His is the praise, and He is Omnipotent. O Allah! None can deny that which You bestow and none can bestow that which You hold back; and the greatness of the great will be of no avail to them against You).''

[Al-Bukhari Book 09, Chapter 92, Hadith # 395]. 

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Kahf Ayat 51. "(Allah) to take the misleaders as helpers" "Al-Jaddu'' means good luck and richness. That is, good fortune and prosperity will not be of any avail before Allah. What will really benefit a person before Him are Faith and virtuous deeds. The prayer quoted in this Hadith makes a special mention of His Oneness.
