Bismillah ar-Rahmaan ar-Raheem
Introduction
Allah, the Exalted, placed humans in this world for a very great
and important purpose, which He loves and is pleased with, and
it is the worship of Allah alone. Allah says: “I did not create Jinn
and mankind except for My worship.” 4
It is from the Mercy of Allah that He has blessed us with intellect,
which distinguishes mankind from the rest of His creation. But
He, the All-Wise and Most Merciful, did not leave us to rely upon
our intellect alone in order to distinguish the good from evil. He
sent Messengers and revealed Divine Books explaining the
prescribed and prohibitions. Allah ended and completed the
succession of Messengers with our Prophet Muhammad , who
did not leave anything which could bring us closer to Allah,
except that he informed us about it. And he did not leave
anything that could cause us to enter Hell-Fire, except that he
warned us about it. Allah mentions him in the Qur’aan saying:
“Certainly, there has come to you a Messenger from among
yourselves. It grieves him that you should receive any injury or
difficulty. He is anxious over you (to be rightly guided, to
repent to Allah and get your sins forgiven, so that you may
enter Paradise and be saved from the Hell-fire) and for the
believers (he is) full of pity and mercy.” 5
As part of his Prophet-hood, Allah’s Messenger has also
informed us about the trials, which will afflict the Ummah. And
the only intelligent course of action is to protect one’s Eemaan and
Aqeedah from those pitfalls that Allah’s Messenger warned us
about…
