Fine Allies –
After some of the Jewish scholars, such as Abdullah Bin Salam, may Allah be pleased with them, accepted Islam, many of their tribesman deserted them and swore not to keep company with them. This was difficult for them as they were their family and friends. In this regard, Allah, the Exalted, revealed chapter 5 Al Ma’idah, verses 55-56:
“Your ally is none but Allāh and [therefore] His Messenger and those who have believed – those who establish prayer and give zakāh, and they bow [in worship]. And whoever is an ally of Allāh and His Messenger and those who have believed – indeed, the party of Allāh – they will be the predominant.”
When hearing these verses, Abdullah Bin Salam, may Allah be pleased with him, replied that they accepted Allah, the Exalted, His Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, and the believers as their guardians. This has been discussed in Imam Wahidi’s, Asbab Al Nuzul, 5:55, Page 69.
The one who strives to sincerely obey Allah, the Exalted, by using the blessings they have been granted correctly, as outlined in Islamic teachings, will encounter criticism and opposition from the people around them. But it is important to understand that the one who remains firm on the obedience of Allah, the Exalted, will be granted peace of mind, which is an invaluable blessing which outweighs the praise and company of worldly people, even one’s family and friends. Whereas, the one who compromises on the teachings of Islam for the sake of pleasing people will inevitably misuse the blessings they have been granted. This will prevent them from obtaining a balanced mental and physical state, it will prevent them from correctly placing everything and everyone within their life and it will prevent them from preparing adequately for their accountability on Judgement Day. All of this will prevent them from achieving peace of mind, even if they have the praise and company of people. Therefore, one must, for their own sake, remain firm on the obedience of Allah, the Exalted, as achieving peace of mind is far better than pleasing people and facing the negative consequences of doing so.
