THE INHERITANCE OF THE QUR'AN IS OF THREE KINDS OF MUSLIMS

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm Arba'a, 14th day of Jumaadal Uulaa 1447AH, Wednesday, 5th November, 2025.

BismilLah. 

ALLAH says in Qur'an 35:32

ثُمَّ أَوۡرَثۡنَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱصۡطَفَيۡنَا مِنۡ عِبَادِنَاۖ فَمِنۡهُمۡ ظَالِمٌ لِّنَفۡسِهِۦ وَمِنۡهُم مُّقۡتَصِدٌ وَمِنۡهُمۡ سَابِقٌۢ بِٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتِ بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلۡفَضۡلُ ٱلۡكَبِيرُ 

ALLAH Azzawajal caused to inherit the Book those ALLAH have chosen of HIS servants; and among them is he who wrongs himself [i.e., sins], and among them is he who is moderate, and among them is he who is foremost in good deeds by permission of ALLAH. That [inheritance] is what is the great bounty.

From the above verse, we noticed that Muslims are divided into three types.' ALLAH Azzawajal says:

فَمِنْهُمْ ظَـلِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِ

(Then of them are some who wrong themselves,) these are the ones who are careless about doing some obligatory actions and who commit some forbidden actions.

وَمِنْهُمْ مُّقْتَصِدٌ

(and of them are some who follow a middle course,) these are the ones who fulfill their obligations and avoid things that are forbidden, but they may neglect some good deeds and do some things which are disliked.

وَمِنْهُمْ سَابِقٌ بِالْخَيْرَتِ بِإِذُنِ اللَّهِ

(and of them are some who are, by ALLAH'S leave, foremost in good deeds.) these are the ones who do obligatory actions and things which are encouraged, and who avoid doing unlawful and disliked actions, and avoid some actions which are permissible. TO BE CONTINUED tomorrow in Shaa ALLAH. May ALLAH keeps guiding us and protecting us from any satanic influences. Aameen.

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm Al-khamis, 15th day of Jumaadal Uulaa 1447AH, Thursdays, 6th November, 2025.

THE INHERITANCE OF THE QUR'AN IS OF THREE KINDS OF MUSLIMS continues. BismilLah. 

Let's continue with our reminder yesterday on this verse;

ALLAH Azzawajal says in Qur'an 35:32

ثُمَّ أَوۡرَثۡنَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱصۡطَفَيۡنَا مِنۡ عِبَادِنَاۖ فَمِنۡهُمۡ ظَالِمٌ لِّنَفۡسِهِۦ وَمِنۡهُم مُّقۡتَصِدٌ وَمِنۡهُمۡ سَابِقٌۢ بِٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتِ بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلۡفَضۡلُ ٱلۡكَبِيرُ 

ALLAH Azzawajal caused to inherit the Book those ALLAH have chosen of HIS servants; and among them is he who wrongs himself [i.e., sins], and among them is he who is moderate, and among them is he who is foremost in good deeds by permission of ALLAH. That [inheritance] is what is the great bounty.

Ali bin Abi Talhah may ALLAH Azzawajal be pleased with him reported that Ibn `Abbas May ALLAH Azzawajal be pleased with him commented on the Ayah:

ثُمَّ أَوْرَثْنَا الْكِتَـبَ الَّذِينَ اصْطَفَيْنَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا

(Then ALLAH gave the Book as inheritance to such of HIS servants whom HE chose. ) "This refers to the Ummah of Muhammad Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam. Those who wrong themselves will be forgiven, those who follow a middle course will have an easy accounting, and those who are foremost in good deeds will enter Paradise without being brought to account." Abu Al-Qasim At-Tabarani reported from Ibn `Abbas that the Messenger of ALLAH said one day:

«شَفَاعَتِي لِأَهْلِ الْكَبَائِرِ مِنْ أُمَّتِي»

(My intercession will be for those among my Ummah who commit major sins then repent sincerely.)" Ibn `Abbas, may ALLAH be pleased with him, said, "Those who are foremost in good deeds will enter Paradise without being brought to account; those who follow a middle course will enter Paradise by the mercy of ALLAH; and those who wrong themselves will enter Paradise by the intercession of Muhammad S.A.W ." It was also reported from a number of the Salaf that those among this Ummah who wrong themselves are still among those whom ALLAH Azzawajal have chosen, even though they are imperfect and fell short by not adhering to the straight path. May ALLAH Azzawajal make us among those who are granted Jannatul Firdaus through HIS MERCY and keep guiding us in the straight path. Aameen.
