− between the Creator and His servants, it is a shame that today only a formal belief remains of this attribute of Allah in the majority of Muslims. − The Holy Qur’an claimed this attribute to be a proof of existence of − God: ÕÌn»A ±r¸ÍË ÊB§e AgA jñzÀ»A KÎVÍ Å¿A ä æ Ø í å ê æ ä ä å ä ä ä ê ì ä æ å æ å æ ê í æ ì ä ammañyyujibul mudtarra idha da‘ahu wa yakshifussu-’a − ± ± − − − Or, Who answers the distressed person when he calls upon Him, and removes the evil. (27:63) How can you deny the existence of God when you submit to Him in anxiety and call upon His mercy and He takes mercy on your desperation and helplessness and removes your problem? Allah does not lay the − condition of belief and good deeds with the call of a distressed person. When a person is truly distressed and bows to the Almighty with total humility and seeks His mercy with a yielding heart, then He certainly shows mercy and listens to the call of the person. In such a situation, He does not consider the everyday insolence and rebellion of that person. Indeed, for His obedient and humble servants, who maintain a real relationship with Him, seek His pleasure and consider everything insignificant when compared to His pleasure, His treatment is most kind. A most unique relationship is established between Him and such people. Although the world does see the signs and results of such a relationship, it is only truly understood by these people themselves. The people may not hold any apparent significance, but in Allah's eyes they are the Chosen − Ones. . . . . . . Allah, the Exalted, has a separate and distinct way of dealing − with each person with compassion, affection and love. . . . The Holy Prophet said that some people appear to be unkempt and in dire straits, sa however, trusting Allah implicitly they at times articulate that such and − such will happen like so. Allah, the Exalted, keeps such regard that He − makes it so. 134
