✨An-Nisa, 4:78

“Wherever you may be, death will overtake you, even if you are in lofty towers.”

🔸Death is unavoidable and predetermined by Allah, no matter how much one may try to escape or shield themselves.

🔸It reminds believers of the importance of living a righteous life, as no one can avoid their destined time.

Ibrahim 14:12
وَمَا لَنَآ أَلَّا نَتَوَكَّلَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ وَقَدۡ هَدَىٰنَا سُبُلَنَاۚ وَلَنَصۡبِرَنَّ عَلَىٰ مَآ ءَاذَيۡتُمُونَاۚ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلۡيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلۡمُتَوَكِّلُونَ

English - Mohsin Khan/Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
"And why should we not put our trust in Allah while He indeed has guided us our ways. And we shall certainly bear with patience all the hurt you may cause us, and in Allah (Alone) let those who trust, put their trust."

Abu Musa al-Ash’ari reported: The Prophet, ﷺ used to supplicate with these words,

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي خَطِيئَتِي وَجَهْلِي وَإِسْرَافِي فِي أَمْرِي وَمَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي جِدِّي وَهَزْلِي وَخَطَئِي وَعَمْدِي وَكُلُّ ذَلِكَ عِنْدِي اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي مَا قَدَّمْتُ وَمَا أَخَّرْتُ وَمَا أَسْرَرْتُ وَمَا أَعْلَنْتُ وَمَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي أَنْتَ الْمُقَدِّمُ وَأَنْتَ الْمُؤَخِّرُ وَأَنْتَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

“O Allah, forgive my faults, my ignorance, and my excesses in my affairs, for You know better than me. O Allah, forgive my serious and frivolous errors, whether mistakenly or deliberately, for all of that is within me. O Allah, forgive me for what I have done and what I will do, privately and publicly, for You know better than me. You are the First, You are the Last, and You have power over all things.”

WHAT IS RAAN?

(Al-Mutaffifīn 83:14)

Their hearts have Raan. Their hearts are encrusted and corroded and
stained for that which they used to do. ِ

🔸Al-Ḥasan Al-Baṣri said:

Raan is a sin on top of a sin until it blindens the heart.

When the hearts are blind, their thinking about Tawḥīd and aspects of
Islām is deranged.

🔸Ibn al-Qayyim has a beautiful statement pertaining to this.

[Al-Jawaab
al-Kaafi li man sa’ala ‘an al-Dawa al-Shaafi (p. 39)]

🔸In summary and in meaning, he says:

'A heart rusts with sins.
If the sins increase then the rust becomes corroded.
Then the sins would become the norm of the heart
and it will be locked and sealed into it. The heart will be covered with a film, and
then wrapped like that, in that status. And then the heart would be
turned upside down.
Then, it’s befriended by the enemy who leads his as he wishes.
It would be a tool in the hands of the enemies.’
