Can We Disobey Allah Without His Bounties?

Can We Disobey Allah Without His Bounties?

Allah the Highest created the Heavens and the Earth, and put Adam and His descendants on Earth, giving us all provisions we need. 

Allah the Highest provided us with what we need in our bodies to live, work and multiply, and with the means of life on earth of food, water, air and material. 

Also Allah the Highest sent us the guidance to live according to His Way, which we choose to obey or disobey.

Whether we obey or disobey Allay the Highest, we can not do without the bounties He bestowed upon us, in ourselves like health and senses and in our provisions, money, food etc.

One can not steal without health, eyesight, hearing and other thing.  An Adulterer can not commit adultery without health and wealth and senses.  So on is the case in all kinds of disobedience.

There is no way of knowing the extend of Allah’s bounties upon us, for the more we know, the more we know of Allah’s bounties.  Allah the Highest said: “AND IF YOU TRY TO COUNT ALLAH’S BOUNTIES, YOU WILL NEVER COUNT THEM, INDEED ALLAH IS MOST FORGIVING AND MOST COMPASSIONATE”.  (S: 16 A: 18)

To us, Allah’s bounties can be one of two things:

-         Bounties he uses to obey Allah and please Him.

-         Bounties which will tempt him to do wrong and evil, disobeying Allah the Highest.  Such person, the more of Allah’s bounties he will have, the more able he will be to disobey Allah and to do wrong.  For this person, giving us more, is giving us leeway to do more wrong. 

Let us look at ourselves to see if Allah’s bounties upon us increased our obedience or disobedience of Allah.  If it increases our obedience, let us be thankful.  If it increases or disobedience, let us try to put ourselves right before we become of those about whom Allah the Highest said:

-         ALLAH MOCKS THEM, AND GIVES THEM LEEWAY IN THEIR WICKEDNESS TO KEEP WONDERING BLINDLY. (S:2 A:15)

-         “AND GIVE THEM LEEWAY; MY PLAN (FOR THEM) IS FIRM INDEED”.  (S:7 A:183)

-         “THOSE WHO DENY OUR AYAHS, WE WILL LEADING THEM FROM WHERE THEY DO NOT KNOW”.  (S:7 A:182)

Those, Allah the Highest left them and let them disobey, not out of pleasure with them, but to the contrary out of Displeasure and Anger.

We ask Allah the Highest for His Protection from His Displeasure and Anger.  Amen.
