Re: [IslamCity] Names of Allah: Al-'Asim

[abdeen]

Hello Sadia, Thought provoking:- 23:53 - But people have cut off their affair (of unity) between them into sects: each party rejoices in that which is with itself. 2910            The people who began to trade on the names of the prophets cut off that unity and made sects; and each sect rejoices in its own narrow doctrine, instead of taking the universal teaching of Unity from Allah. But this sectarian confusion is of man's making. It will last for a time, but the rays of Truth and Unity will finally dissipate it. 23:54 � But leave them in their confused ignorance for a time. 23:63 - But their hearts are in confused ignorance of this; and there are besides that deeds of theirs which they will (continue) to do 23:64 - Until when We seize in Punishment those of them who received the good things of this world behold they will groan in supplication! 23:65 -          It will be said: "Groan not in supplication this day; for ye shall certainly not be helped by Us. 23:66 - "My Signs used to be rehearsed to you but ye used to turn back on your heels 23:67 - "In arrogance: talking nonsense about the (Qur'an) like one telling fables by night."   abdeen -------Original Message-------   From: islamcity@yahoogroups.com Date: Thursday, April 07, 2005 6:20:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Norton AntiSpam] [IslamCity] Names of Allah: Al-'Asim   AL- �ASIM The Protector He [Prophet Nuh's son] said: �I will seek refuge on a mountain that shall protect me from the water.� Nuh said: � There is no protector today from Allah's punishment but He Who has mercy �� (Surah Hud, 11:43) People, all of whom are inherently feeble, can encounter all sorts of difficulties at any time, such as an earthquake, flood, hurricane, or volcanic eruption. In addition, people are vulnerable to mental distress. In the face of these unfavorable events, they must consider the following: Regardless of their effort or strength, they can never avoid a threat unless Allah wills this. Allah, the most Compassionate, is the only Protector, as the Qur'an relates in the following verses: Say: �Who rescues you from the darkness of the land and sea? You call upon Him humbly and secretly: �If you rescue us from this, we will truly be among the thankful.'� Say: �Allah rescues you from it, and from every plight. Then you associate others with Him.'� (Surat al-An�am, 6:63-64) People remember Allah when they are left alone, when they realize that neither material wealth nor powerful people can help them, or when they fall sick. Yet after these situations pass, they forget what happened to them and become ungrateful toward Allah. Such people, who insist upon ungratefulness despite Allah's protection, will see the truth when they face infinite punishment in Hell. Their situation is related, as follows: As for those who show disdain and grow arrogant, He will punish them with a painful punishment. They will not find any protector or helper for themselves besides Allah. (Surat an-Nisa', 4:173) "And if all the trees on the earth were pens and the sea (were ink wherewith to write), with seven seas behind it to add to its (supply), yet the Words of Allah would not be exhausted. Verily, Allah is All-Mighty, All­-Wise."
