Inspiring quotes from the Meccan Revelations (... more)


A just man, a young man who grew up worshiping God, a man whose heart was attached to the mosques, two men who loved each other for the sake of God, who came together for him and separated for him, a man who was invited by a woman of position and beauty, and he said, “I fear God,” and a man who gave charity and hid it so that his left hand would not know what his right hand was spending, and a man He remembered God in silence, and his eyes filled with tears.

Among the servants of God is one who reveals to him what is in his hand of sustenance and it belongs to him. It is so-and-so and so-and-so, and he sees the names of his companions on it, but on his hand. So if he gives someone of this description of his as a charity, is it written as a charity for him? We said, yes, a charity is written for him in terms of what God has attributed to him, even if It is a scrap, so that scrap is not disgraced in it. Do you not see that the dying person has lost the name of ownership and is forbidden from disposing of it, and only a third of it is permitted to him and above that, so no words can be heard about it because he spoke about what he does not own ?

And know that the soul is predisposed to miserliness. God Almighty said: And when good touches it in various ways, He says: And who can be saved from his own miserliness?

He is attested, and the accursed one will come to him in his promise. Then Satan said, “Poverty promises you. Neither he nor Satan can overcome himself, except the one who is strong with divine success, for he fights himself and Satan who helps him against him.

All things belong to God, my being, and they belong to the servant according to the situation, so what he must have. In the same matter, it is of benefit to the soul, it is a possession that is due to him, and it is food and drink that which he is nourished with while he is nourished with, from what he is nourished with, not from what he prefers, and which goes out of his way and other than you, and of clothing that protects him from the heat and cold of the air, and as for anything other than this amount, it is in his hand a possession.

The knower is not alone in either being one of those who discovered the names of the owners of things written on them, then he holds them for them until he pays them to them at the time that the Wise One has determined and appointed. Then he differentiates between what is his and calls it a property of entitlement because his name is on it and he is entitled to it, and what is the property of someone else, so he calls it a property of trust because the name Its owner is upon him, and everything according to the language of Sharia belongs to him in the apparent ruling, or this knower is one of those to whom this was not revealed, so he does not know by definition what his provision is from what he has, and if it is revealed, he acts according to what is revealed, for the ruling is for knowledge in that, and if he does not reveal it, it is better for him to fork out all of his money.
