Guiding Light Selections From the Holy Qur’an Comments by AbdulHamid A. AbuSulayman

Abstract

Translation
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious,
Most Mercifil.

1. Nay, but [Allah is aware of] those
who keep their bond with Him, and
are conscious of Him: and, verily,
Allah loves those who are conscious
of Him.
Al ‘Imran (3:76)
2. And spend [freely] in Allah’s cause,
and let not your own hands throw
you into destruction; and persevere in
doing good: behold, Allah loves the
doers of good.
Al Baqarah (2:995)
3. And how many a prophet has had to
fight [in Allah’s cause], followed by
many Allah-devoted men: and they
did not become faint of heart for all
that they had to suffer in Allah’s
cause, and neither did they weaken,
nor did they abase themselves [before
the enemy], since Allah loves those
who are patient in adversity.
Al ‘Imran (3:146)
4. And it was by Allah’s grace that thou
[O Prophet] didst deal gently with
thy followers: for if thou hadst been
harsh and hard of heart, they would
indeed have broken away from thee.
Pardon them, then, and pray that
they be forgiven ...
