Continuation of the benefits of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “And We saved those who believed and were mindful of Allah.”

Because Allah the Exalted sometimes says: and sometimes says: So if we say: “and they were mindful of what they were commanded to be mindful of,” what does that become? Is it general? Are you with us, everyone? And the slaves of Allah? What did we say? What is the estimation of the omitted word in His saying: ? No, what is its estimation? How do we estimate it? ... Did you see that you were not with us? Come on, Ya Iyub? What is the estimation?
The student: The estimation is: it is omitted, and it is: what is to be feared...

The Shaykh : It is omitted. What is its estimation?
The student: Its estimation is: everything that is to be feared.

The Shaykh : I estimated the last word for you before this question. What do you think? If we ask a person in the front row and he fails to answer, is it not our right to stand him up to the very end?
The student: He is given time.

The Shaykh : Given time until when, my brother? The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: And we have the right to impose a discretionary punishment on one who is negligent, sitting with his body present but his heart in another place. Yes, what were they commanded? Good: they were commanded to fear it. They fear what they were commanded to fear. And we have been commanded to fear Allah, to fear the Fire, and to fear the Day of Resurrection. Did you understand? So the general meaning is that we say: “and they were mindful of what they were commanded to be mindful of.”
Now, among the benefits of this noble verse is the virtue of faith and mindfulness of Allah, and that it is a cause of salvation, as He said: So if someone asks: Does not Allah the Exalted sometimes inflict punishment on a people in whom there is the one who is mindful and the one who is not? What is the answer? The answer is that Allah the Exalted takes the one who is mindful for the sin of the one who is not in this world. In this world, they are all punished, and they are resurrected in the Hereafter according to their intentions and their deeds. The evidence for this is His saying: meaning, beware of this trial. And this means that we enjoin good and forbid evil so that we may be mindful of it.
