﷽

Everything in creation has an opposite except Allāh

ليس كمثله شيء

All His Names & Attributes are of Perfection. He is the Irresistible, whom no one can overcome

Know, if there’s good in you, it’ll be met with its opposite

Know, turning to Allāh always yields good. 1/5

That’s why the Prophets met the greatest opposition. They brought the greatest good

عليهم السلام

That’s why Allah tests those whom He loves

That’s why the early Muslims were persecuted

That’s why “those who spend before the Victory” aren’t equal to those who spend after 2/5

The best of his ﷺ followers were tested with their opposites.

Abu Bakr was as-Siddīq. The first challenge of his caliphate was the Wars of Apostasy.

Umar was al-Fārūq. It’s reported he was the door against fitna. When he was assassinated the door of trials opened 3/5

It is fitting that we end Rabī’ al-Awwal by the mention of the Sahāba,

for the door to Allāh is Rasūlullah ﷺ,

and the door to him ﷺ is the Companions

Those upon their path will be met with the opposite of the good they bring.

It’s the Sunna of Allah in His Creation. 4/5

رضى الله تعالى عنهم وأرضاهم
وثبتنا الله تعالى على سبيلهم

#SahabaSpring

وصل اللهم صلاة كاملة وسلاما تاما على سيد الأنبياء والمرسلين و على آله وصحبه أجمعين

5/5

Why does it have to be so?

When a positive meets a negative, they cancel out. Then, nothing remains but a testament to the Glory of the ONE who has no opposite, the ONE who can’t be overcome, the ONE Creator, the ONE without beginning nor end.

لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله

Whoever worshiped Muhammad, then know that Muhammad has passed. Whoever worshiped Allah, then know that Allah never dies

من كان يعبد محمدا فان محمد قد مات ومن كان يعبد الله فان الله لا يموت

ﷺ

The Sahabah carried the Quran & Sunna to us.

May Allah be well pleased with them
