We have a Compassionate and Merciful God called Allah
Allah is the comprehensive name of the creator of all mankind and whatsoever we see and do not see in the world. He has created life and death to test mankind what they put forth in terms of deeds and actions. Whatever good we do we will see it in the day we meet him and whatever bad we do we shall also see it on that day. We should seek his help in whatsoever we do and more importantly worship Him alone without any partners. Muslims are daily required to pray to Him five times a day. We repeatedly ask in prayer in each unit of prayer “Guide us along the Straight Path”. To keep us steadfast and not the path of the people who he is displeased with nor of those who are astray.
Complete Knowledge Belongs to Allah
Humans are such that not only we are fallible and make mistakes but they cannot comprehend everything that happens around them and in the world. The Quran is a book which serves as the manual for humankind and jinn alike. It is not just for muslims. Every human being should read and try to understand the message of the Quran. But yes, for it to be beneficial, one has to realize and believe that there is no God other than God who is one and only God. Everything in the earth and heavens will perish apart from Him. He has no creator and has in fact created everything we see and do not see. Even time is His creation which we feel and have a perception of.
Guidance comes from Allah but What are Some Prerequisites for it?
- Belief in the unseen realm
- Establishment of prayer
- Donation of wealth and time for betterment of family and society
- Belief in what was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
- Belief is what was revealed to Prophets before Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
- Faith in the Hereafter
The ones who follow and have these prerequisites should expect the help of Allah in this life as well as a reward in the next life i.e. Paradise.
