GUIDANCE IN THAT WHICH IS MOST RIGHT

By Sh Saalih Aalus-Sheikh - Imaam of Haram

Servants of Allah, Allah says which translates as: "Verily this Qur'an, guides to that which is most just and right and gives glad tidings to the believers who work righteously that they shall have a great reward" (Al-Isra": 9). Allah is saying that this Qur'an, that He sent down which was a revelation to Muhammad (Salla Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) verily guides to that which is most just and right. It is guidance. It guides and directs to that which is best and just, to the correct path so people attain salvation. Those who take other paths indeed have proceeded along a path that is not proper and correct. O believers, Allah has given the evidence from the Qur'an, for all His servants. Indeed it is great evidence even though a lot of people have taken it lightly and have not given it its due right as Allah says which translates as: "And most of mankind will not believe even if you desire it eagerly" (Yusuf: 103).

The Qur'an is with us - in our hands. It is the same Qur'an, which was revealed to Muhammad that is with us today, just as it was in the hands of the companions of the Prophet (Salla Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam). However, the companions of the Prophet took the guidance from the Qur'an. They accepted that the Qur'an, guides to that which is most right. They did not neglect the Qur'an. They did not neglect learning or practicing it. The Salaf of this nation studied the Qur'an, to take all kinds of good from it. To take from it the commands of Allah, to know from it the prohibitions of Allah, to know what Allah obliged them to do, from what He forbade them from doing, to take from it what Allah informed them of regarding things that are unknown and unseen, and the things to believe in and those things to call people to. Notice how Allah says which translates as: "guides to that which is most right and just". read more
