| 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 nations
and kingdoms, which were once blessed by Allah are in a dismay now.
Allah made them spiritually dead, politically and financially bankrupt,
just because these people went away from 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. When
we are in distress, a sincere supplication to Allah can turn things
180 degrees.
