Meaning Of Inalillah (RIP) In Islam
Meaning of "Inna lillaahi wa inna ilayhi
Raaji'uun". Relax and enjoy this
reminder. Don't miss a line pls. Let's boost
our eemaan from this in shaa Allah.
BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem.
We say this statement when someone dies. Also some of us may say this
sentence when we lose something, suffer
a setback or harm. But do you know what
it means? Sure, everyone know that it
obviously means 'To Allah we belong and
to Him is our return.' But that's not what I am talking about. I
mean do you REALLY, TRULY
understand these words and their
implications in a Muslim's life? It means
…whatever we have is not really ours. It
belongs to Allah. Take a look around you; everything you see, all that you have and
all that there is….in you, on you, around
you….belongs to Allah, alone.
It is Allah Who has given you all the
property and goods you possess, and
that He is the true Owner of them all. So the cars that you own, the houses that
you live in, the businesses you possess
all truly belong to Allah. The kids that He
blessed you with, the health that He gave
you, the time that He has allowed you are
all Allah's property. Even the bodies we live in and the life that we have belongs
to Allah alone. Allah says;
"And to Allah belongs the inheritance of
the heavens and the earth…." (Surah
Aal-Imraan:180)
"The kingdom of the heavens and the earth and everything in them belongs to
Allah. He has power over all
things." ( Surat al-Ma' ida: 120). Now,
since everything belongs to Allah, then
we have to include even our souls in that
list. The very souls that we think of as our
"self", our "nafs", our "being" -- whatever
you want to call it -- that very thing that
distinguishes you from the rest of the
world, belongs to Allah It's not YOURS. In
fact, YOU are not YOURS. You belong to Allah. And this is the essence of the
concept of slavery to Allah in Islam.
And since He is the true Possessor of
everything, and everything is His
property, He gives what He wills to
whomever He wills…And then He takes it away. After all, it was Allah's to begin
with as the owner.
So He may give you some thing and then
take it back after a while..
He will bless you with a precious child
that you love dearly…and then He may take it away.
He will grant you money, honour and
status…..and then He may take it away.
He will give you youth, vitality and health
and then surely He will take it away.
In fact everything you have will only be with you for a very short while.
And then the Owner will claim His Right.
So when Allah does reclaim what was
rightfully His, WHY MOURN OUR
LOSSES?
Just like a friend who lends you his book. And then after a few days, he wants it
back and you give it back to him…no
regrets…..no sorrow….no questions
asked.
Similarly, if Allah takes back some of His
blessings upon you for some reason….so be it. Say Alhamdhulillaah. Don't grieve.
Be patient. Submit to the will of Allah,
being pleased with His decision for you.
For surely He will only do what is best for
you. Just think…..The Owner came and
took it back. Remember….man enters into this world
empty handed…and leaves it empty
handed.
Anything you have are a trust from
Allah…a loan to you…to see how you
respond to these gifts from Allah and how you use them….in the obedience of
the Almighty, thanking Him and
worshipping Him……OR……...to the
disobedience to the One Who gave them
to you in the first place.
'Our eyes are filled with tears, our hearts with grief, but we say nothing with our
lips except that which pleases Allah....
Verily, to Allah we belong, and to Him we
return.' (Bukhaari)
And we all know the famous incidence
about the companion Abu Talha and his wife, when one of the sons died and Abu
Talha was not at home. She washed and
shrouded him and when Abu Talha came
home and asked about his son, she said,
'The child is quiet and I hope he is in
peace….' (Bukhaari). Subhaan Allah….such patience!
And such Iman in the statement "Inna
lillaahi wa inna ilayhi Raaji'oon"!
She truly understood its meaning and the
affect it should have on her life as a
Muslimah, submitting to Him and being pleased with whatever He has decreed
for her.
She knew that whatever she has, is not
truly hers. Rather, it is Allah's….and He
took back whatever He owns at its
appointed time. And it is because of this eeman so
strong, this understanding, that the
Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam)
made dua for them and Allah blessed
them immensely.
'They (i.e. Abu Talha and his wife) had nine sons and all of them became
reciters of the Qur'an (by heart)
." (Bukhaari). Allahu Akbar. That's the
rewards of their patience losing one
child. ALLAH says in the Quran:
"Be sure I will test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss in goods or
lives, but give glad tidings to those who
are steadfast, who say when afflicted
with calamity: 'To Allah we belong and to
him is our return.' They are those on who
(descend) blessings from Allah and mercy and they are the ones that receive
guidance." (al-Baqarah: 155). Allahu
Akbar.
May Allah increase us in patience.
Aameen.
