of Allah: Gateways into Tawheed

AL-MU’MIN – The Bestower of safety & security

“The One to whom safety and security are attributed in view
of the fact that he supplies that which brings them into being
and therewith blocks the avenues of fear… The true Al-Mu’min
is He who it is inconceivable to have safety and security save
that it emanates from Him.”

“It is a well-known fact that the blind person is afraid of
suffering destruction in as much as he cannot see; but his
seeing eye gives him a degree of security from it. In a similar
way the one-armed man fears the evil which only the hand can
ward off, for the sound hand is security against it. This also is
the case with all the senses and limbs.”
AL-MU’MIN – The Bestower of safety & security

Muslim & Non-Muslim are equal in terms of safety and security
of the apparent world – Al-Mu’min bestows both with food,
drink, medicine etc.

In the world of the unseen (Alam al-Gayb) and afterlife
(Akhirah) safety and security is only for believers. Allah says in
a Hadith Qudsi:
‫ مفن دخل حصين أمن عذإيب‬،‫ال إهل إال هللا حصين‬
La Ilaha illaLlah is my fortress, whoever enters my foretress will
be saved from my punishment.

Importance of daily Prophetic Adhkar, Hamza Yusuf,
People are in need of the Prophetic du’ā’s now, more than ever,
because there are shayateen everywhere. If we could see the
unseen world, I’m telling you, we would all pass out. Because there
are demons all over the place. What you’re doing whilst reciting
invocations and litanies is creating a space around you, that if the
Jinn and shaytan see it, they have to back away. If you are
consistent with this (al-Wird al-Latif), I guarantee you will see a
difference in your life. And if you miss it out you’ll feel horrible
during the day – it’ll feel like going outside without brushing your
teeth. Put yourself in the protection of Allāh ‫ﷻ‬through daily du’ā.

‫عن أنس (من قال حني يصبح أو مييس إللهم إين أصبحت أشهدك وأشهد محةل عرشك ومالئكتك ومجيع خلقك أنك أنت هللا‬
‫ال إهل إال أنت وأن محمدإ عبدك ورسوكل أعتق هللا ربعه من إلنار مفن قالها مرتني أعتق هللا نصفه ومن قالها ثالاث أعتق هللا‬
‫ روإه أبو دإود‬،‫ثالثة أرابعه فان قالها أربعا أعتقه هللا من إلنار ) حديث حسن‬

Safety and security is of the greatest favours of Allah. The
Messenger sallaLlahu alayhi wasallam said,
Whoever wakes up in the morning, secure in his property,
healthy in his body, and he has his food for the day, it is as
if he were given the entire world. [at-Tirmidhi]


Man’s portion or share in Al-Mu’min. Al-Gazzali says,
Man's portion of this characterization lies in the fact that all
mankind is safe from him. Even more, every timid soul should hope
for and anticipate help from him in staving off destruction from
himself in respect of both religious and secular affairs

RasuluLlah sallaLlahu alayhi wasallam emphasized this,
By Allah, he is not a believer! By Allah, he is not a believer! By
Allah, he is not a believer.'' It was asked, "Who is that, O Messenger
of Allah?'' He said, "One whose neighbour does not feel safe from his
evil [al-Bukhari]

O Messenger of Allah, such-and-such a woman spends her nights in
prayer, fasts during the day, and so on, and she gives in charity,
but she offends her neighbours with her sharp tongue." The
Prophet (PBUH) said: "Her good deeds will be of no avail: she is
among the people of Hell." They said, "And so-and-so prays only
the obligatory prayers, gives charity in the form of left-over
curds, but does not offend anyone." The Prophet (PBUH) said:
"She is among the people of Paradise. [Ahmad]
AL-MUHAYMIN – The Guardian

The One who tends to His creation with regards to their
actions, sustenance and life span. He tends to them by His

(Hifz). Everyone who has complete command of a situation,
who takes control of it and protects it, will be its guardian.
AL-MUHAYMIN – The Guardian

Al-Gazzali concludes:
Every servant who watches over his heart until he supervises its
depths and its secrets, and also takes possession of reforming his
inner states and attributes, and undertakes to protect it
continuously … will then be a ‘guardian’ in relation to his heart.
