Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: The sister N. S. A. from Riyadh says in her question: I hear this phrase, "A favor from Allah, not a favor from His creation," frequently on the tongues of some sisters when they achieve what they desire without anyone's help. My question is: O His Eminence the Shaykh, what is the validity of this phrase from the perspective of Islamic law? Please answer us, may you be rewarded. And peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
A: I am not aware of any harm in that; for the favor belongs to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) in everything, as He said at the end of Surat al-Hujurat: [al-Hujurat: 17]. Thus, the favor belongs to Allah alone in every aspect of the blessings of this world and the Hereafter.
A: I am not aware of any harm in that; for the favor belongs to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) in everything, as He said at the end of Surat al-Hujurat:
They consider it a favor to you that they have accepted Islam. Say, "Do not consider your Islam a favor to me. Rather, Allah has conferred favor upon you that He has guided you to the faith, if you should be truthful."
يَمُنُّونَ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ أَسْلَمُوا قُلْ لا تَمُنُّوا عَلَيَّ إِسْلامَكُمْ بَلِ اللَّهُ يَمُنُّ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ هَدَاكُمْ لِلْإِيمَانِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ
