“Who break the covenant of Allah after contracting it and sever that which Allah has ordered to be joined and cause corruption on earth. It is those who are the losers.” Chapter 2 Al Baqarah, verse 27.
It is important for muslims to understand a simple yet profound lesson. In reality, a muslim will never truly succeed in this world or the next in worldly or religious matters through the disobedience of Allah, the Exalted. Since the dawn of time to this age and till the end of time no person has ever achieved real success nor will they ever through the disobedience of Allah, the Exalted. This is quite obvious when one turns the pages of history. Therefore, when a muslim is in a situation which they desire to achieve a positive and successful outcome from they should never choose to disobey Allah, the Exalted, irrespective of how tempting or easy it may seem to be. A muslim should not disobey Him even if they are advised by their close friends and relatives to do so as there is no obedience to the creation if it means disobeying the Creator. And in truth, they will never be able to protect them from Allah, the Exalted, and His punishment in either this world or the next. The same way Allah, the Exalted, grants success to those who obey Him He removes a successful outcome from those who disobey Him even if this removal is not immediate or apparent to people. The things a person obtains through the disobedience of Allah, the Exalted, will become a curse for them in both this world and the next. This is quite obvious if one turns the pages of history and observes the disobedient people of this time. A muslim should not be fooled as this will occur, sooner or later. The Holy Quran has made it extremely clear that an evil plan or action only encompasses the doer even if this punishment is delayed or not obvious to them. Chapter 35 Fatir, verse 43:
“…but the evil plot does not encompass except its own people…”
Therefore, no matter how difficult the situation and choice muslims should always choose the obedience of Allah, the Exalted, in both worldly and religious matters as this alone will lead to success in both worlds even if this success is not obvious immediately.
