Hold Fast to the Rope of Allah.
وَاعْتَصِمُواْ بِحَبْلِ اللّهِ جَمِيعًا وَلاَ تَفَرَّقُواْ وَاذْكُرُواْ نِعْمَتَ اللّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ كُنتُمْ أَعْدَاء فَأَلَّفَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ فَأَصْبَحْتُم بِنِعْمَتِهِ إِخْوَانًا وَكُنتُمْ عَلَىَ شَفَا حُفْرَةٍ مِّنَ النَّارِ فَأَنقَذَكُم مِّنْهَا
كَذَلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللّهُ لَكُمْ آيَاتِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ
And hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allah (i.e. this Qur’an), and be not divided among yourselves, and remember Allah’s
Favor on you,
for you were enemies one to another but He joined your hearts together, so that, by His
grace you became brethren (in Islamic Faith),
and you were on the brink of a pit of Fire,
and He saved you from it.
Thus Allah makes His Aayaat
(proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) clear to you,
that you may be guided.
[Source ~ 'Qur`an'~ Aal-`Imraan 3: A # 103]
Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم said...
“The Qur’an is the strong Rope of Allah
and it is the Wise Remembrance and it is the
Straight Path.
and it is what the tongue cannot deviate from.
and no matter how much it is repeated it cannot
be worn out (by being read too much) and the
‘Ulamaa’ (scholars) do not get enough of it.”
Ibn ‘Abbas رضي الله عنهم said...
“Holding on to the Rope of Allah is holding on
to the Deen of Allah.”
Ibn Mas’ood رضي الله عنه said...
“It is the Jama’ah” and he said “and upon you is
to hold on to the Jama’ah as it is the
Rope of Allah
that He has ordered us with and this holding fast together is better than being apart.”
Ibn Mas’ood رضي الله عنه and others also said...
“ It is the Qur’an.”
in a narration from Ibn Mas’ood رضي الله عنه it is reported that the
Prophet ~ صلى الله عليه و على آله و سلم said...
“The Qur’an is the Rope of Allah
and it is the Light which guides and it is the
Medicine that is beneficial and it is what protects from destruction.”
Ibnul Qayyim رحمه الله said...
“Holding on to the Rope of Allah is security from misguidance and holding fast to Allah Himself is security from destruction.”
