I have been in the hospital for a few days, coming for my chemotherapy sessions in the ER, where critical patients surround me. Some are yelling. Some are in severe pain. Calling upon Allah for help. Calling upon Allah for cure.
I feel blessed that, in this state, we are so close to our Rabb, The Most Merciful, engaged in dhikr and istighfar.
Ibrahim (AS) starts out by disproving any false Gods, explicitly says 'Do not worship Satan. Surely, Satan is ever rebellious against the Most Compassionate'. Ibrahim (AS) then praises Allah (SWT) by calling him the Most Compassionate. This is similar to the Dua presented in the beginning of the halaqa, where we admit our faults, and then praise Allah (SWT). Later on in the sura, it explains that we should embrace Tawhid, and to always give Dawah...See more
Your true Adab is only manifested when you deal with the foolish, Your true character is not tested when you are around nice people who treat you nicely; you would be a jerk if you don't reciprocate that back.

Has anyone reflected upon/compared these 2 events? I'd love to read your reflections and any lessons you can share. JAK.

God (swt) frames the story of Zakaria's duaa by introducing it as a mercy from Him. As Zakaria is making his duaa, we're listening to him and we already know that God is having mercy with him. He's Merciful in listening to Zakaria, He's Merciful in answering him immediately, He's Merciful in allowing him to empty his heart of all concern before gifting him a son. What other mercies is God showing His slave?
