To be Mindful of Our Actions
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
The following is adapted from an extract of Risalah al-Mustarshidin by I Imam Abu ‘Abdullah al-Harits ibn Asad al-‘Anazi al-Muhasibi.
Allah (s.w.t.) Mentions, in the Qur’an:
سُوۡرَةُ
القِیَامَة
أَيَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ أَن يُتۡرَكَ سُدًى (٣٦)
Does Man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)? (Surah al-Qiyamah:36)
There are several
explanations given by the ‘ulama regarding this verse. Do people think that they will be left alone,
uncontrolled and free to do as they chooses without consequences to their
actions, neither in this world or the next; that they have no accountability
before Allah (s.w.t.) and them being Blessed to enter Heaven or
dispensed of Hell? Do they think that they
will be left alone without any moral responsibilities? Do they think that they will be left without
a higher purpose? Do they think that they
will be abandoned and forsaken by their Lord?
All our actions fall under these five rulings - understand them and act
accordingly.
