SPIRITUAL AI

SOLELY HIS GIFT By: Ahmad Syahrin Thoriq وإياك أن تظن، أن الثبات على الاستقامة أحد إنجازاتك الشخصية Do not ever think that persistence in istiqamah is one of your personal achievements.  فإن الله قال لسيد البشر محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم: وَلَوْلَا أَن ثَبَّتْنَاكَ لَقَدْ كِدتَّ تَرْكَنُ إِلَيْهِمْ شَيْئًا قَلِيلًا For indeed Allah has said to the ruler of mankind: *"And if it were not for We had strengthened you, you would have been slightly inclined towards them...."* (QS. Al Isra: 74) فكيف أنت Then how about you?  حين أختارك الله لطريق هدايته، ليس لأنك مميز أو لطاعةٍ منك، بل هي رحمة منه شملتك When Allah chooses you to be on the path of guidance, it is not because of your specialty or because of your obedience, but it is solely His grace that has been poured out on you.  قد ينزعها منك في أي لحظة، لذلك لا تغتر بعملك ولا بعبادتك Allah could at any time revoke this grace from you at any time.  لذلك لا تغتر بعملك ولا بعبادتك Therefore, do not be deceived by your deeds,
