يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِكُمْ وَأَوْلَادِكُمْ عَدُوًّا لَّكُمْ فَاحْذَرُوهُمْ وَإِن تَعْفُوا وَتَصْفَحُوا وَتَغْفِرُوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

O’ you who believe! Verily you have an enemy among your wives and your children; so beware of them. And if you pardon and pass over and forgive, then surely Allaah-SWT is Forgiving, Merciful.

(64:18)

In The Name of Allah-SWT the Most Gracious, The Most Merciful
SECRETS OF REVELATION:

Qalb is the Cradle of all Comforts

Whatever ill strikes man, it is with Allaah-SWT ’s Permission and Command in sequel to His-SWT predetermined laws. A believer's heart is guided by Him-SWT whereby he leans on Allah-SWT ’s mercy during hardships, and remains tranquil. All comforts spring from Qalb, and a believer's Qalb is at peace. The infidels and the hypocrites, on the other hand, achieve nothing but restlessness.

 

Obedience to the Holy Prophet-SW 

So obey Allaah-SWT by obeying His Prophet-SW. As such it is obligatory to follow him-SW in beliefs, worships and the Code of Life. If someone conforms to the beliefs and the worships, but does not follow the Holy Prophet-SW in practical life, his beliefs and worships are stripped of sincerity and reduced to mere rituals. And if someone renounces obedience it does not bother Allaah-SWT or His-SWT Prophet-SW who is only responsible to convey Allah-SWT ’s Message. Remember that nothing deserves to be worshipped save Allaah-SWT and nothing is worth obeying against Him-SWT . Faith demands that a believer must rely solely upon Allaah-SWT and no fear should thwart His-SWT obedience.

 

Leniency at Home

O’ believers! Wives and children sometimes become the cause of disobeying Allah-SWT , thereby acting as if they were your enemies. No concern for their well being may cause you to adopt unfair means, or their love hold you back from Jihad. You must strictly guard against such temptations. And in the process do not be hard on them, rather have a forgiving attitude. The scholars suggest that one should be loving and lenient towards his family, for it offers greater chances of reformation as compared to strictness or physical handling. And Allaah-SWT is also Forgiving and Merciful. It is true that wealth and progeny are critical trials of faith, often leading to neglect of Allah-SWT's Commands. If you are careful, He-SWT shall compensate obedience with stupendous rewards. So obey Allaah-SWT according to your capacity and strength. Listen attentively to whatever you are ordered to do, and spend all your energies in carrying it out because it is for your own benefit. And whosoever is blessed with unwavering obedience, unhampered by greed, shall surely win.

 

If you spend to please Allah-SWT; it is a splendid investment and He-SWT would reward you beyond all proportions. He-SWT shall also overlook your follies by virtue of being human. He-SWT recognizes virtue and is extremely Benevolent, Who Knows all things, the veiled as well as the visible.
