God Loves Them Who Trust In Him

 

God loves the trusting (L-479)

فَبِمَا رَحْمَةٍ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ لِنتَ لَهُمْ وَلَوْ كُنتَ فَظًّا غَلِيظَ ٱلْقَلْبِ لَٱنفَضُّوا۟ مِنْ حَوْلِكَ فَٱعْفُ عَنْهُمْ وَٱسْتَغْفِرْلَهُمْ وَشَاوِرْهُمْ  فِى ٱلْأَمْرِ فَإِذَا عَزَمْتَ فَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُتَوَكِّلِينَ 159.

159.  Fa-bimaa  Rahmatim-minAllaahi  linta  lahum. Wa law  kunta  fazzan  galiizal-qalbi  lan-fazzuu  min  haw-lik. Fa’-fu  ‘anhum  wastagfir  lahum  wa  shaawirhum  fil-‘amr. Fa-‘izaa  ‘azamta  fata-wakkal  ‘alAllaah. ‘InnAllaaha  yuhibbul-Mutawakkiliin.

159.  It is by of grace from God that you were gentle with them. Had you been harsh, hardhearted, they would have dispersed from around you. So pardon them, and ask forgiveness for them, and consult them in the conduct of affairs. And when you make a decision, put your trust in God; God loves the trusting.

There was a great negligence from the side of Muslims in the Battle of ‘Uhud. So, perhaps Holy Prophet (ﷺ) would have been angry in his heart and he would have intended that he would leave consulting with the Muslims in future. Therefore, God recommended the Muslims in a light style. At first, He declared that they were forgiven, because anger and grief of Holy Prophet (ﷺ) is only for God. Then He commanded, “It is a great Mercy of God that he made his Messenger (ﷺ) so much civilized, polite and lenient. If Holy Messenger Muhammad (ﷺ) were stern and fierce of heart, they would have dispersed from around him. It would not be sure that what behavior he would have adopted in this matter. This nation might not remain gathered around him. If he (ﷺ) would have called to account severely; then they could not come so much close because of shame and repentance. In such a way, they would have remained deprived of a great virtue and blessing, and the Unity of Islamic nation would have been shattered. 

Holy Messenger (ﷺ) ignores their errors for their correction. God guides, “Although, God has forgiven them now, however, you must ask Me for their forgiveness for more satisfaction of their hearts. Consult with them for conducting necessary affairs. After consultation, when a matter is finalized and Intended solemnly, then all of you should set up on it with perfect trust in God, because He loves those people, who put their trust in Him.  

Ali (May God be pleased with him) asked from the Holy Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), “O Messenger of God! The matter, which we do not find in Holy Qur’an, your Sayings and Traditions, then which way should we choose for that?” Holy Messenger (ﷺ) replied, “Consult with only those, who are wise and worshippers of God and do not follow the opinion of anyone else”. The importance of mutual consultation has been disclosed by this verse and Hadith. https://youtu.be/zj7wRf1iLTU
