And Thee (alone) we ask for help

Lesson
When the
mankind admits that ALLAH (GOD) is his CREATOR, his BENEFICENT, his MASTER
and agrees upon his devotion and humility, then now there is no way for
him except that he should bear in mind about his needs every time. He should
beg from ALLAH for success in each work, for safety in each woe and for
completion of his each want.
ALLAH makes
promise in HIS Holy Book “AL-QUR’AAN at many places that if the mankind
remains obedient to The GOD whole heartedly, then ALLAH will not return him
failed or mis-fortunate. HE completes all types of necessities of all the
creatures in the entire universe. HE gives food to the hungry, restoration of
health to the patient, looks after the Meeks and Orphans. HE bestows mercy
with open hands day and night. But still deficiency does not come in HIS
pity.
If all the
residents of earth and skies ask for help for their needs, their hopes
according to their individual manners and ALLAH completes their desires,
still HIS treasures don’t become deficient as a needle dipped in the sea and
let it got out. A person may be the richest out of us but he can’t spend
lavishly as much. If he dares then his treasury will go to end in seconds and
after all he will also become compelled to beg from ALLAH.
THEE
(alone) we ask for help- It is demand of mankind’s poorness and helplessness that he should
not beg for help from any person except ALLAH for his needs. He should search
and ask HIS support in each painful trial because there is none remover of
the difficulties except ALLAH.
It has come in
The Sayings of The Prophet (Peace Be upon Him) that Once, The Messenger
(Peace Be upon Him) said to His companions (ALLAH agreed upon them) “who is
one of you, who promises that he will seldom beg from anyone”. All the
companions
(ALLAH agreed
upon them) promised, “We will never beg from anyone except ALLAH”. So they
(ALLAH agreed upon them) never begged anything from anyone during their
remaining life. Some of them did so, that if his whip fell down during riding
on the horse or camel, he didn’t say anyone to pick it up and give him. But
he came down and picked his whip.
It is the
procedure of compliance of our honorable elders. We can succeed in this world
and here-in-after, following them (ALLAH agreed upon them).

THOSE, WHO HELP THEMSELVES”
