Faith Will Not Be In Vain

 

 

Belief is not wasted (L-170)

وَإِن كانَت لَكَبيرَةً إِلّا عَلَى الَّذينَ هَدَى اللَّهُ ۗ وَما كانَ اللَّهُ لِيُضيعَ إيمانَكُم ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِالنّاسِ لَرَءوفٌ رَحيمٌ143c.

143c.  Wa ‘in- kaanat lakabiiratan ‘illaa ‘alal-laziina hadAllaah. Wa maa kaanAllaahu liyuzii-‘a ‘iimaanakum.  ‘InnAllaaha bin-naasi la-Ra-‘uu-fur-Rahiim.

143c.  It is indeed difficult, except for those whom God has guided. But God would never let your faith go to waste. God is Kind towards the people, Merciful.

 BaytUllaah, (the Square Building), The Inviolable Place of Worship at Makkah is the most sacred place in the world. It is the oldest and holiest place of worship among the Mosques and Temples of the world. Due to native reliability, it was the most respectable place as the Arabians used to consider it. But the prayers were offered, turning unto the Temple of Jerusalem (Bayt ul Muqaddas) during the life of the last Messenger of God (ﷺ) at Makkah. It was a big trial for the patriot Arabs. It was much arduous and heavy burden for those people to make the Qiblah to the Temple of Jerusalem. The Arabians and the Qureysh were Speakers of the religion of Prophet Abraham (Peace be upon him). So they used to respect Ka’-bah also, the Square Building at Makkah, and dislike to deem the Temple of Jerusalem (Bayt ul Muqaddas) as Qiblah.

God commanded that this test and trial was not heavy for those people, who were guided by God and they were aware of its philosophy. They took it as that the Prophet, Muhammad (ﷺ) has been sent as Prophet for the entire world. To make Qiblah to Bayt ul Muqaddas did not astonish them. But they leaned before God without any kind of dispute and came out with great success in this trial.

When again, BaytUllaah (Masjidul-Haraam), The Inviolable Place of Worship at Makkah was determined as Qiblah, then many people had doubt that whether the prayers offered during turning unto Bayt ul Muqaddas have been wasted, and particularly those Companions of Holy Prophet (ﷺ), who had died before the change of Qiblah, remained in the loss? God cleared their doubt and commanded that the actual thing is obedience. Bayt ul Muqaddas was also appointed as Qiblah by Our Commandment. So, the people who used to offer their prayers by turning unto that Qiblah, their such good deeds will not have any loss. Future reward of their good works is still firm. God is most Kind and Merciful over the human beings. He does not waste any virtue of any individual.
