| Say:
" O Allah! Master of the kingdom! You give the kingdom to whom
You please, and You snatch the kingdom from whom You please; and
You exalt whom You please and You abase whom You please. In Your
hand is all good. Surely You are Possessor of power over all things.
You cause the night to merge into the day, and You cause the day
to merge into the night; and You bring forth the living out of the
dead, and You bring forth the dead out of the living; and You give
sustenance to whom You please without reckoning!"
(3:25-26) |

| Prophet
Muhammad (PBUH) was instructed to make this supplication in Surah
Al-i-Imran. This verse refers to the situation of the Israilites.
They had the kingdom, and Allah took it away. Israilites, who were
a living nation, are turned into a spiritually dead community. Arabs,
who were spiritually at the abyss, are now bustling with life with
the message of Islam brought by Muhammad (PBUH). Any student of
history will attest that many flourishing nations and kingdoms are
in decline now. Allah made them spiritually dead, politically and
financially bankrupt, as these people diverted away from the Truth.
In our daily situation, when we are at the pit of troubles and devastated
morally, spiritually or in worldly affairs, only Allah can bring
us back. |
