A Reminder
This book relates from the Holy Prophet (S) that to ward off calamities this Qur’anic verse should be recited.
“There is no God but Thou, glory be to Thee, surely I am of those who make themselves to suffer loss.” (Surah al-’Anbiya’ 21:87) “Allah (S.w.T.) is my Lord, and I do not associate him with anything.”
We should remember that despair is the worst of the sins, because it implies that the connection between Allah (S.w.T.) and his creature has been severed. It signifies turning away from the Divine nature. Because even if an iota of belief remains in a person’s heart, he could not severe relations with his Nourisher and Cherisher. It may be that sometimes a sort of hopelessness pervades his imagination but he soon recovers and repents of his sin.
