Promise of Allah - Ali - 07-22-2003
As a muslim our belief is that Allah's promise cannot be untrue. In Quran itself Allah states this at a lot of places. For Example
[b:a410476bb2]55. Is it not (the case) that Allah.s promise is assuredly true? [/b:a410476bb2] (Surah Yunus)
166. But those who believe (in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism) and do deeds of righteousness, We shall admit them to the Gardens under which rivers flow (i.e. in Paradise) to dwell therein forever. [b:a410476bb2]Allâh's Promise is the Truth, and whose words can be truer than those of Allâh? (Of course, none).[/b:a410476bb2] (Surah Nisa)
5. O mankind! [b:a410476bb2]Verily, the Promise of Allâh is true.[/b:a410476bb2] (Surah Fatir)
Promise of Allah - Muslimah - 07-23-2003
Alhamdulelah that we are certain Allah's promise is true
Look at this comforting promise:
“And for those who fear God, He (ever) [b:ba57545259][u:ba57545259]prepares a way out,[/u:ba57545259][/b:ba57545259]* And He provides for him from (sources) he never could imagine.” (Quran 65. 2-3)
You fear Allah, He finds u way out of any distressul situation no matter
Promise of Allah - Ali - 07-23-2003
Allah (SWT) says in the Quran
139 [b:8b72200c21]So do not become weak (against your enemy), nor be sad, and you will be superior (in victory) if you are indeed (true) believers.[/b:8b72200c21] (Surah Al-e-Imran)
In this ayah Allah (SWT) assures us that we will be victorious, but there is a restriction that we should be "Mo'min" (believer)
55. Allâh has promised [b:8b72200c21]those among you who believe[/b:8b72200c21], and do righteous good deeds, that He will certainly grant them succession to (the present rulers) in the earth, as He granted it to those before them, and that He will grant them the authority to practise their religion, that which He has chosen for them (i.e. Islâm). And He will surely give them in exchange a safe security after their fear (provided) they (believers) worship Me and do not associate anything (in worship) with Me. But whoever disbelieved after this, they are the Fâsiqûn (rebellious, disobedient to Allâh).
(Surah Noor)
and Allah (SWT) has also said
47 [b:8b72200c21]and (as for) the believers it was [u:8b72200c21]incumbent [/u:8b72200c21]upon Us to help (them).[/b:8b72200c21] (Ar-Rum)
A lot of Muslims when they read these ayahs doubt the Promises of Allah. When they look at the condition of the Muslims all around the world they start questioning the promises of Allah. The word Muslim, and Mo'min believer are not synonyms. The promises of Allah is with Mo'mineen, not Muslimeen.

True Ali, for us to be Moe-meneen we need to observe and fulfill the 76 parts of Iman (faith) may Allah help us all do that.
Promise of Allah - Ali - 07-25-2003
For example
14. The bedouins say: "We believe." Say: "You believe not but you [b:13bd1c3a29]only say, 'We have surrendered (in Islâm),' for Faith has not yet entered your hearts.[/b:13bd1c3a29] But if you obey Allâh and His Messenger (SAW), He will not decrease anything in reward for your deeds. Verily, Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (Surah Hujaraat)
Promise of Allah - Muslimah - 07-25-2003
Sobhan Allah Ali, look carefully at the Ayah, even if we only surrender in Islam, He still Shall prepare for us the reward. And people still busy themselves with other than Allah. :?
