Enjoying God’s Protection

Continued from page 3

There are also Suras 113 & 114:

Say, “I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak, from the evils among His creations, from the evils of the darkness as it falls, from the evils of the trouble makers, from the evils of the envious when they envy.” Say, “I seek refuge in the Lord of the

people, the King of the people, the God of the people, from the evils of sneaky whisperers, who whisper into the chest of people, be they of the jinns or the people.”

God gives us sufficient signs and warnings whilst protecting us daily. He loves us, showers His blessings on us, answers our prayers, sees to our needs and difficulties throughout the day. This is His assurance. So

in return, why should we not take more care to earn His grace and protection?

When My servants ask you about Me, I am always near. I answer their prayers when they pray to Me. The people shall respond to Me and believe in Me in order to be guided. (2:186)
