O Mankind ! It is you who stand in need of Allah !



Allah says : " Son of Adam ! Fill your time with My worship and I will fill your heart with richness , and end off your poverty. But if you do not, I will make your hands fully busy (i.e in worldly affairs) and I will not end off your poverty"

[Tirmidhi]

Explanation : Our purpose of existence on this Earth is more meaningful than being slaves to worldly gains. There can be no meaningful life better than the one prescribed by our Creator Allah. Every act done according to Allah's way is an act of worship. Man is the beneficiary and Allah is in no need.

" O Mankind It is you who stand in need of Allah , but Allah is Rich (free of all wants & needs), Worthy of All praise "

[Qur'an 35 :15]

The above text necessitates that man must depend upon Allah (swt) asking Him Alone for assistance. It also requires that man must love Allah and worship Him alone to gain His pleasure and His help.

Islam, therefore, leads man to a true liberation from any false attachment. It brings peace & contentment to the heart . It helps the believer against hypocrisy and all forms of dishonesty.
