It is an honor from Allaah تعالى when He protects His slaves from falling into sins

If Allaah comes in between you and a sin, then you will overcome that desire to sin – for it is Allaah تعالى who has saved you from falling into it.

By Allaah, the One there is no One worthy of being worshiped except Him! Allaah does not save a person from committing a sin – over which the person has the ability to carry it out – except when that person enjoys a high status with Allaah. It is an honor from Allaah that He تعالى saved him from falling into that sin.

Allaah تعالى said:

وَلَقَدْ هَمَّتْ بِهِ ۖ وَهَمَّ بِهَا لَوْلَا أَن رَّأَىٰ بُرْهَانَ رَبِّهِ

{And indeed she did desire him and he would have inclined to her desire, had he not seen the evidence of his Lord.}

📚[Surah Yusuf (12): 24]

Then Allaah تعالى said:

كَذَٰلِكَ لِنَصْرِفَ عَنْهُ السُّوءَ وَالْفَحْشَاءَ

{Thus it was, that We might turn away from him evil and illegal sexual intercourse.}

📚[Surah Yusuf (12): 24]

It is Allaah تعالى Who had saved him from falling into that sin.

Then Allaah تعالى said:

إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُخْلَصِينَ

{Surely, he was one of Our chosen, guided slaves.}

📚[Surah Yusuf (12): 24]

This is the status which Allaah gives to whoever of His slaves He تعالى Wills.

And be upon certainty and have assurance, that whenever Allaah تعالى protects you from falling into a sin, and you sincerely thank Allaah for that, except that Allaah تعالى will protect and save you from things that are more severe than it – in this world and the Hereafter. And He تعالى will elevate your status, purify your body and soul, and make you enter the Jannah.

The highest honor that you can enjoy with Allaah is that Allaah تعالى becomes your Walee (protector, ally) and takes charge of your affairs.

‎ أَلَا إِنَّ أَوْلِيَاءَ اللَّـهِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ * الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَكَانُوا يَتَّقُونَ

{No doubt! Verily, the Auliyaa’ of Allaah no fear shall come upon them nor shall they grieve - those who believed (in the Oneness of Allaah), and used to fear Allaah much (by abstaining from evil deeds and sins and by doing righteous deeds).}

📚[Surah Yunus (10):62-63]

And when Allaah تعالى becomes the Walee of someone, He تعالى will never allow them or their work to be lost – whether they are males or females.

A father does not allow his children to be lost (i.e., go to waste), a teacher does not allow his students to go to waste, a mother does not allow her small ones to go to waste, so, what about Allaah – the Owner of Majesty and Honor?! He تعالى will never allow His Auliyaa’ to be lost!

The highest honor that you can enjoy with Allaah is that Allaah تعالى becomes your Walee. So, get up in the nights, and offer the night prayers - of whatever Allaah تعالى has allowed you to offer - and beseech Him, saying:

وتولني فِيمَن توليت

❝And turn to me in friendship among those on whom You have turned in friendship❞

📚 [Sunan Abu Dawood (1425), Sunan al-Tirmidhee (464), Sunan al-Nasaee (1745), and Sunan Ibn Maajah (1178) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh Al-Albaanee. This Du`aa is part of Qunoot al-Witr]

⁉️ What distress is going to harm you when you know that Allaah is your protector and has taken charge of your affairs?
