Page 63 - Zeal and Enthusiasm in the Qur'an

Harun Yahya - Adnan Oktar

Allah by which He guides whom He wills. And one whom
Allah leaves astray – for him there is no guide." 78

As stated in a Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (saas), believ-
ers know that the reward of those who read the Qur’an and remem-
ber Allah is great, and this increases their zeal even more: "Fear
Allah, for He is the one who sets right all that concerns you. Recite
the Qur’an and keep remembering Allah, for you will be remem-
bered in the heavens, and it will be light for you on the earth." 79

Supplication

"And when My servants ask you concerning Me – indeed I
am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when
he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me [by obedience]
and believe in Me so that they may be [rightly] guided." 80
Allah has summoned all people to supplication. He has in-
formed them that He is nearer to them than their jugular vein. He
hears them when they pray to Him, and He will answer their
prayers. Allah’s granting such an opportunity to people and His
being a witness to everything they say or think is a cause of excite-

ment for believers, the excitement of knowing Allah’s friendship,
His constant protection of them, and His blessings upon them. For
this reason believers take refuge in their Lord with great emotion,
profoundly feel the need for His guidance, and ask His help for any-
thing at any time. Another cause of enthusiasm for them is that
there is no limit to what they may ask of Allah. Everyone has the op-
portunity to ask for anything he might need, whether important or

insignificant, spiritual or material. Allah answers the supplications
of His servants according to what is best for them.
