Question:
He says: I hope you will shed light on the noble verse in the saying of Allah the Exalted: I seek refuge[An-Nahl 16:98] [Ali 'Imran 3:103].
Answer:
Yes, Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, commanded His believing servants to hold firmly, to cling to the rope of Allah, which is the Qur'an. The rope of Allah is also interpreted as Islam and as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). The meaning of holding firmly to it is clinging to it, for it is the strong rope of Allah, and whoever holds firmly to it is saved.[Ali 'Imran 3:103] It contains an exhortation to unite in clinging to the Book of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and it contains a prohibition against division and disagreement, due to the weakness and the dominance of enemies that it leads to. If the Muslims unite and hold firmly to the rope of Allah, no one will harm them, by the permission of Allah.
