THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arbaā, 7th day of Dhul Qaādah (Wednesday 10th July, 2019). TRUE SERVANTS OF ALLAH HAS A UNIQUE ATTRIBUTE. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem.
ALLAH says in the Quran;
And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily, and when the ignorant address them [harshly], they say [words of] peace. Al-Furqan 25:63
ALLAH tells here the attributes of the believing servants of HIM,
those who walk on the earth "Hawna",
meaning that they walk with dignity and humility, not with arrogance and pride.
This is like the Aayah:
وَلَا تَمْشِ فِى الاٌّرْضِ مَرَحًا
And walk not on the earth with conceit and arrogance... (17:37).
So these people do not walk with conceit or arrogance or pride. This does not mean that they should walk like sick people, making a show of their humility.
What is meant here by Hawn is serenity and dignity, as the Messenger of ALLAH said:
When you come to the prayer, do not come rushing in haste. Come calmly and with tranquility, and whatever you catch up with, pray, and whatever you miss, make it up.
If the ignorant people insult them with bad words, they do not respond in kind, but they forgive and overlook, and say nothing but good words. This is the actual meaning.
This is what the Messenger of ALLAH did. The more ignorant the people, the more patient he would be. Unfortunately today in most communities, we don't apply this command of ALLAAH, we will rather fight, insult back etc in the name of defending Islam and that's not the correct approach especially living in communities in which muslims are minority. May ALLAH aid us to practice what we learn. Aameen.
