THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-khamis 18th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani (Thursday 3rd December. 2020).
OUR TOPIC TODAY IS ON BETRAYAL. BismilLah.
One of our soul's defects that brutally affects our ties with our Creator, ALLAH as well as our relationships with others is betrayal. Betraying is an unfaithful act characterized by deliberate but hidden deceiving, lying and scheming. Because of the intentional secretive planning that is involved in betrayal, its victims are always taken by surprise. The most harmful consequence of betraying is the sudden and abrupt destruction of the bond of trust, loyalty, and confidence that exists in different kinds of social relations. This results in a deep sense of disappointment and serious damage of the integrity of such relationships.
ALLAH says in Quran 8:27 to the nearest meaning "O you who believe, do not betray ALLAH and the Messenger, and do not betray those who trust you, now that you know.
Students of the Quran know that all the elements which might be involved in the ugly course of betrayal are clearly highlighted as prohibited bad behavior and immorality, and therefore condemned by ALLAH.
ALLAH says again in Quran 17:38 All bad behavior is condemned by your Lord. In Quran 24:19. Those who love to see immorality spread among the believers have incurred a painful retribution in this life and in the Hereafter. ALLAH knows, while you do not know.
Those elements might be summarized as: Cheating, hypocrisy, and breaking promises:
ALLAH says in Quran 26:183 "Do not cheat the people out of their rights, and do not roam the earth corruptingly. Hopefully it's clear now for all to know that betrayal is dangerous for our own souls. May ALLAH (Al-Haadi, The Guide) keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
