In surah Al-Baqarah Allah سبحانه و تعالى states that the right to enter the paradise of the believers must go through various tests first. Just as the faithful in the past have also experienced tests. Allah سبحانه و تعالى says:
Or did you think that you would enter heaven and when you come like those who were left by you, they are touched by bad and bad and they slip until he says The Prophet and those who believed with him when God won, but The Victory of God is near
Do you think that you will enter Paradise when there has not come to you as those before you did? They were afflicted by calamity and affliction, and were so shaken that the Messenger and those who believed with him said, "When will the help of Allah come?" Unquestionably, the help of Allah is nigh. (QS Al-Baqarah [2] : 214)
Subhaanallah...!
Just imagine. Already the friends are going through a difficult time with various tests and trials at that time. But look at how the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليي و سلم educated friends to be patient and multiply patience. So hearing what was said by Khabab ibnul Arat even the Prophet صلى الله عليي و سلم cast a shadow of the much more devastating test of life's difficulties that had befallen previous generations before the companions. The tests of previous generations were tougher than the tests of friends. But what the companions experienced is not a test and a light trial. Even the Prophet ended his message to the Khabab by strongly rebuking him and judging him as part of the impatient group...!!
And may Allah bless and exalt this matter until the passenger walks between Sana'A to Hadramout, there is no fear except Allah Almighty and the wolf on his sheep but you hurry
And indeed, Allah Tabaaraka Wa Ta'ala will forgive this (religious) affair until there is a rider walking from Shan'a to Hadarmaut in a state of no fear of anyone except Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, or worried that his goat will be eaten by wolves. But you are in a hurry." (HR. Ahmad, No. 20148)
Even the Prophet صلى اللل عليي و سلم considered Khabab as part of the impatient group. Khabab, a blacksmith, was one of the companions who had been subjected to severe torture in the early days of Islamic da'wah in Mecca before the hijrah. Sha'bi, one of Khabab's friends, described the madness of the Quraysh who tortured the Khabab. The infidels came to Khabab and dragged him out and crushed him with a burning stone, until it melted his flesh. But Khabab's heart was not in the least affected, it made him more convinced of the truth of the treatise he followed. Another friend told me that the infidels came to Khabab's house. They burned the iron that was to be used as a sword. Then after smoldering they used to pole binding hands, feet, along with Khabab's body. This is one of the first generations of Muslims. But the Prophet صلى اللل عليي و سلم referred to Khabab as "But you are in a hurry." Then the Prophet Muhammad صلى اللل عليي و سلم compared with the tests that have been experienced by the faithful in the past. As if to say that patience and doubling patience in the face of heavy trials are prerequisites for victory and entering heaven.
May God empty us of patience, and hold our feet and support us over the infidel people
"Our Lord, pour patience upon ourselves, and strengthen our stand and help us against the disbelievers." (QS. Al-Baqarah [2] : 250)
The second condition for believers to achieve victory and be entitled to enter the garden of eternity full of enjoyment (i.e. heaven) is the necessity of relying solely on Allah سبحانه و تعالى . When the various trials and sufferings experienced by believers have reached the degree where the believers have only asked Allah for help سبحانه و تعالى only, Then at that time the help of Allah سبحانه و تعالى will come soon. And tawakkal to Allah سبحانه و تعالى should be evenly distributed in all lines of the ranks of believers, both the Apostle and his followers, both leaders and followers. There can be no layer of believers who expect anything other than the help of Allah سبحانه و تعالى . Do not let the grassroots layer of the followers for example hope in Allah سبحانه و تعالى , but the ranks of leaders even secretly expect help from kuffar or hypocrites..!
Until the Prophet and those who believed with him say when God wills, that Nasrallah's victory is near
“... until the Messenger and those who believed with him said, "When will the help of Allah come?" Unquestionably, the help of Allah is nigh." (QS. Al-Baqarah [2] : 214)
And the tawakkal to Allah سبحانه و تعالى demanded is perfect tawakkal and totality, not partial or half-and-half tawakkal. Tawakkal demanded is not only tawakkal to Allah سبحانه و تعالى in asking for help, namely in the form of do'a, praying five times in a disciplined and timely congregation in the mosque, tahajjud prayer in the middle of the night, fasting both obligatory and sunnah and various other forms of ritual worship. Tawakkal should include understanding and belief that Islam includes both ritual, individual, social, political, economic, cultural, military and all other aspects of life. He does not want to give up his worship affairs according to Islamic teachings, but the business of the philosophy of life of society and state is left to man-made ideologies (human-made ideology). He was not willing to develop economic aspects according to sharia rules while political affairs ran following the political system of jewish-Christian western products. For such an attitude is not a perfect form of relying on Allah سبحانه و تعالى alone.
The perfect tawakkal to Allah سبحانه و تعالى will require believers to return all affairs to guidance, Allah's rules and laws are سبحانه و تعالى and in accordance with the guidance of the main example of believers namely the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليي و سلم. Thus Allah سبحانه و تعالى describes the portrait of the best group of believers who have always graced the stage of world history.
And who obeys God and the Messenger, those are with those whom God has blessed from the prophets, friends, martyrs, righteous and good people, and the good of those who are companions.
And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, they will be with those who are blessed by Allah, namely: Prophets, shiddiiqiin, martyrs and the righteous. And they are the best friends. (QS. An-Nisa [4] : 69)
The group of prophets, the shiddiiqiin, the martyred and the righteous are the men who are always istiqomah on the straight path that Allah سبحانه و تعالى stretch to attain salvation in the world and in the Hereafter. They never had any doubts about the power and sovereignty of God سبحانه و تعالى . They never glared and amazed so that they became inferior aka keder witnessed the arbitrariness of the kuffar when Allah سبحانه و تعالى allow them to rule for a moment in the world. When Allah سبحانه و تعالى taqdirkan they live in pieces of the age where the kuffar collaborate with the munafiq leading the world without Allah's guidance سبحان و تعالى , these believers do not recede from the way of Allah سبحانه و تعالى however unpopular their attitudes and paths of choice.
True believers are those who do not choose guidance, direction, guidance except those clearly derived from Allah سبحانه و تعالى and His Messenger Muhammad صلى الله عليي و سلم They will not be willing to choose religion, way of life, way of life other than Dienullah (religion of Allah سبحانه و تعالى), Dienul-Haq (true religion), Al-Islam. And they did not doubt the slightest religion of Allah سبحانه و تعالى Al-Islam. They firmly believe that the religion of Allah سبحانه و تعالى should be carried out in its entirety without sorting and being picky. They are not easily deceived by the modern heretical teachings of Secularism. A vanity teaching that tells muslims to separate religious affairs from the affairs of daily life. A teaching that says that religion should be applied to the extent of mere private life or in the scope of the mosque only, while all life affairs such as social, political, cultural, economic and so on should be regulated based on the formulation of modern theories of heretical products of the western kuffar. So the believers are very confident and fully alumsor to dienullah Al-Islam because it is a shamil (thorough), kamil (perfect) and mutakaamil (perfect) teachings. And they are very hesitant to even reject various theories, teachings, concepts, ideology, the view of life, the rules of life derived from anything other than Allah سبحانه و تعالى Because how can believers doubt the teachings of Allah سبحانه و تعالى when He is the One Who Created heaven and earth and all creatures among the two. While what has been made by kuffar humans who are said to be intelligent and succeed in spreading various theories, concepts, ideologies, life views, rules of life that deserve to be a handle in the life of society and state in this modern era?
Brother,
It is time for us Muslims who profess to believe seriously to be true only to Allah swt swt swt . Let us strive to reaffirm our belief that only by returning to Allah سبحانه و تعالى as Rabb, Al-Islam as a dien (the way of life) and the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم as the main example and Al-Quranul Karim as a dustur (constitutional) only we will get the help of Allah سبحانه و تعالى
Only by relying in the true sense of God will we succeed in confronting the various slanders that surround our lives in this End Times era. Let our brothers, we make sure that ourselves and our families are all truly and only to the Lord, creator, owner, preserver and ruler of the universe, namely God سبحانه و تعالى . If more and more Muslims behave like this, then believe God willing the help of Allah سبحانه و تعالى will soon come to the Ummah of Islam. Amiin ya Rabbal 'aalamiin.
Or did you think that you would enter paradise and when you come like those who were left by you, they are touched by bad and bad, and they slip until the Prophet and those who believed with him say when God's victory is near?
Do you think that you will enter Paradise when there has not come to you as those before you did? They were afflicted by calamity and affliction, and were so shaken that the Messenger and those who believed with him said, "When will the help of Allah come?" Unquestionably, the help of Allah is nigh. (QS. Al-Baqarah [2] : 214)
Let us develop ourselves and our families into truly patient believers in the face of the trials and trials that are increasingly great in the Last Days. Then we make sure that the soul tawakkal to Allah سبحانه و تعالى adorns all aspects of life. Be a believer who never hesitates to only and only depend on Allah سبحانه و تعالى in a state of pleasure or difficulty. Those who obeyed Allah and The Messenger of Allah( who told them, "Surely men have gathered armies to attack you, therefore fear them," and they said:
Allah is our representative
"Sufficient is Allah سبحانه و تعالى be our Helper and Allah سبحانه و تعالى is the best Protector." (QS. Ali Imran [3] : 173)
