Trust & temptations in relations

Al-Quran 39:62

The surah Az-Zumar tells lovely lessons of working together in sincerity with confidence and to be truthful to the purpose.

Al-Quran surah no. 39

In today’s competitive world, it is important to talk only when necessary. Be friends wisely. Trust no one except Allah. Ponder more on the hereafter and how to gain the most from the world today for the blessings beyond in the hereafter. 

Most times I don’t know what’s real/sincere or what’s not. People pretend like silly and then they play with psychology and trust as if it’s just menial things just to get ahead. Surely this isn’t from the Quran or Hadiths. 

Al-Quran 39:11

Al-Quran 39:14

If you want to keep the most trustworthy, productive and good together then be truthful because good people tend to group together. The blessings pour back. Beware if you are not truthful, when they find out from others they’ll leave you. Trust once broken cannot be mended. Trust is the essence of family. 

Family is the strongest bond Allah created for the human race. As in the narration of Prophet Adam in Surah Taha 20:115-123; on being given Allah’s mercy after falling to temptations of Iblis and how determination should be shown to rise back after falling in order to win back Allah’s favour.

Sincerity cannot be faked because in the end Allah is the best of planners. We are merely humans. Who are we to judge? The truth will stand out clearly from falsehood in the end. If it is to be then it will be. This in reference to surah al-bakarah 256.

All the good we do can be undone easily unbeknown to us. This is mentioned in the Quran as a warning to us to not take forgranted Allah’s mercy in the cycle of repentance and His bountiful forgiveness to those who are sincere. The story of how Iblis was cursed to be on earth to tempt us until the last day was also mentioned in surah Sad 38:75 onwards.

The attributes of Iblis being too proud to bow to Allah’s creation as instructed is one that caused the ongoing struggle between man’s conscience and the worldly temptations which hinders us from reaching Jannah. SubhanAllah everything is planned and only Allah knows all things. 

Who are we as humans to test one another? If the aim is to get information and dispose the person then perhaps there can be a better way. To use without consent is not the Islamic way. Ethical conduct is the best moral practice, Islamic practices. Most times the manner we inform makes a huge difference in our relationship. Be in the way of ethical, moderation and truth yet always striving to be better for Allah created everyone differently with gifts 🎁 only He can give and take whenever He wishes, subhanAllah.
