Al-Quran

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْاِنْسَ اِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوْنِ  ( الذاريات: ٥٦ ) –1

I did not create the Jinns and the human beings except for the purpose that they should worship Me.

أَيْ: إِلَّا لِيُقِرُّوا بِعِبَادَتِي طَوْعًا أَوْ كَرْهً That is: except that they acknowledge my worship, willingly or unwillingly.

مَآ اُرِيْدُ مِنْهُمْ مِّنْ رِّزْقٍ وَّمَآ اُرِيْدُ اَنْ يُّطْعِمُوْنِ  

I do not want any sustenance from them, nor do I want them to feed Me.

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الرَّزَّاقُ ذُو الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِيْنُ   ( الذاريات: ٥٨ )

In fact, Allah is the All-Sustainer, Possessor of power, the Strong. (ذُو الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِينُ) أَيِ الشَّدِيدُ الْقَوِيُّ

likewise

وَأْمُرْ أَهْلَكَ بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱصْطَبِرْ عَلَيْهَا ۖ لَا نَسْـَٔلُكَ رِزْقًۭا ۖ نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُكَ ۗ وَٱلْعَـٰقِبَةُ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ ١٣٢

And enjoin prayer upon your family [and people] and be steadfast therein. We ask you not for provision; We provide for you, and the [best] outcome is for [those of] righteousness.

مَنْ أَصبَحَ وَ الدُّنْياَ أَکْبَرُ هَمِّهِ فَلَيْسَ مِنَ اللٌّهِ فِي شَيْءٍ

“He who rises in the morning such that his greatest concern is for (the issues of) the world, shall have nothing of (the guardianship) of Allah.”

عن ابْن عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا كَانَ ذُو الْمَجَازِ وَعُكَاظٌ مَتْجَرَ النَّاسِ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ الْإِسْلَامُ كَأَنَّهُمْ كَرِهُوا ذَلِكَ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَنْ تَبْتَغُوا فَضْلًا مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ  فِي مَوَاسِمِ الْحَجِّ

1681 صحيح البخاري كتاب الحج باب التجارة أيام الموسم والبيع في أسواق الجاهلية

Ibn Abbas reported: Dhul Majaz, Ukazha, and Matjar were markets people attended in the time of ignorance. When Islam came, the companions disliked trading in them until the verse was revealed, “There is no blame on you for seeking the bounty of your Lord,” (2:198) and this was during the Hajj season.

“يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى:

ابْنَ آدَمَ، خَلَقْتُكَ لِعِبَادَتِي فَلَا تَلْعَبْ، وَتَكَفَّلْتُ بِرِزْقِكَ فَلَا تَتْعَبْ فَاطْلُبْنِي تَجِدْنِي؛ فَإِنْ وَجَدْتَنِي وَجَدْتَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، وَإِنْ فُتك فَاتَكَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ، وَأَنَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ”.

“God Almighty says: Son of Adam, I created you to worship Me, so do not play around, and I have provided for your livelihood, so do not tire yourself. So seek Me and you will find Me; for if you find Me, you will find everything.” And if you die, you will lose everything, and I am dearer to you than everything.” ( ibni Kathir )

likewise

يَا عَبْدِي، أَنْتَ تُرِيدُ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ، وَلَا يَكُونُ إلَّا مَا أُرِيدُ، فَإِنْ سَلَّمْتَ لِي مَا أُرِيدُ، أَعْطَيْتُك مَا تُرِيدُ، وَإِنْ لَمْ تُسَلِّمْ لِي مَا أُرِيدُ، أَتْعَبْتُك فِيمَا تُرِيدُ، وَلَا يَكُونُ إلَّا مَا أُرِيدُ».

O my servant, you want and I want, and nothing can happen except what I want. If you hand over to me what I want, I will give you what you want, and if you do not hand over to me what I want, I will tire you out with what you want. “And it will only be what I want.”( Ihyaa ‘Ulum ad-Deen, 4/346)

يٰٓاَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَىِٕنَّةُۙ  ( الفجر: ٢٧ )– 2

(As for an obedient man, it will be said to him,) “O content soul,

ارْجِعِيْٓ اِلٰى رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً ۚ  ( الفجر: ٢٨ )

come back to your Lord, well-pleased, well-pleasing.

رَاضِيَةً well-pleased, meaning, within itself. أَيْ: فِي نَفْسِهَا

مَّرْضِيَّةً well-pleasing. Meaning, pleased with Allah, and He will be pleased with it and gratify it

يْ: قَدْ رَضِيَتْ عَنِ اللَّهِ وَرَضِيَ عَنْهَا وَأَرْضَاهَاi

فَادْخُلِيْ فِيْ عِبٰدِيْۙ  ( الفجر: ٢٩ ) So, enter among My (special) servants,

أَيْ: فِي جُمْلَتِهِمْ

وَادْخُلِيْ جَنَّتِيْ ࣖࣖ  ( الفجر: ٣٠ ) and enter My Paradise.”

وَهَذَا يُقَالُ لَهَا عِنْدَ الِاحْتِضَارِ، وَفِي يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ أَيْضًا، كَمَا أَنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ يُبَشِّرُونَ الْمُؤْمِنَ عِنْدَ احْتِضَارِهِ وَعِنْدَ قِيَامِهِ مِنْ قَبْرِهِ، وَكَذَلِكَ هَاهُنَا.

This will be said to it at the time of death and on the Day of Judgement. This is like the angels giving glad tiding to the believer at his time of death and when he rises from his grave. Likewise is this statement here.

Hadiths about Al-Isra’
The Report of Anas bin Malik

Imam Ahmad reported from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah said;
أُتِيتُ بالْبُرَاقِ وَهُوَ دَابَّةٌ أَبْيَضُ فَوْقَ الْحِمَارِ وَدُونَ الْبَغْلِ يَضَعُ حَافِرَهُ عِنْدَ مُنْتَهَى طَرَفِهِ
فَرَكِبْتُهُ فَسَارَ بِي حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ فَرَبَطْتُ الدَّابَّةَ بِالْحَلَقَةِ الَّتِي يَرْبِطُ فِيهَا الاَْنْبِيَاءُ ثُمَّ دَخَلْتُ فَصَلَّيْتُ فِيهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ
ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ فَأَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ بِإِنَاءٍ مِنْ خَمْرٍ وَإِنَاءٍ مِنْ لَبَنٍ فَاخْتَرْتُ اللَّبَنَ
فَقَالَ جِبْرِيلُ أَصَبْتَ الْفِطْرَةَ
Al-Buraq was brought to me, and it was a white animal bigger than a donkey and smaller than a mule. One stride of this creature covered a distance as far as it could see.
I rode on it and it took me to Bayt Al-Maqdis (Jerusalem), where I tethered it at the hitching post of the Prophets. Then I entered and prayed two Rak`ahs there, and came out.
Jibril brought me a vessel of wine and a vessel of milk, and I chose the milk.
Jibril said;`You have chosen the Fitrah (natural instinct).’
قَالَ ثُمَّ عُرِجَ بِي إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَاسْتَفْتَحَ جِبْرِيلُ فَقِيلَ لَهُ
مَنْ أَنْتَ
قَالَ جِبْرِيلُ
قِيلَ وَمَنْ مَعَكَ
قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ
قِيلَ وَقَدْ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْهِ
قَالَ قَدْ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْهِ
فَفُتِحَ لَنَا فَإِذَا أَنَا بِأدَمَ فَرَحَّبَ بِي وَدَعَا لِي بِخَيْرٍ
Then I was taken up to the first heaven and Jibril asked for it to be opened.
It was said, `Who are you?’ He said, `Jibril.’
It was said, `Who is with you?’
He said, `Muhamad.’
It was asked, `Has his Mission started?’
He said, `His Mission has started.’
So it was opened for us, and there I saw Adam, who welcomed me and prayed for good for me.
ثُمَّ عُرِجَ بِنَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الثَّانِيَةِ
يَحْيَى وَعِيسَى فَرَحَّبَا بِي وَدَعَوَا لِي بِخَيْرٍ

He said, `His Mission has started.’
So it was opened for us, and there I saw the two maternal cousins, Yahya and `Isa, who welcomed me and prayed for good for me.
ثُمَّ عُرِجَ بِنَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الثَّالِثَةِ
أَنَا بِيُوسُفَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَمُ وَإِذَا هُوَ قَدْ أُعْطِيَ شَطْرَ الْحُسْنِ فَرَحَّبَ بِي وَدَعَا لِي بِخَيْرٍ
Then I was taken up to the third heaven and Jibril asked for it to be opened. It was said, `Who are you?’
He said, `Jibril.’
It was said, `Who is with you?’
He said, `Muhammad.’
It was asked, `Has his Mission started?’
He said, `His Mission has started.’
So it was opened for us, and there I saw Yusuf, who had been given the beautiful half. He welcomed me and prayed for good for me.
ثُمَّ عُرِجَ بِنَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الرَّابِعَةِ
أَنَا بِإِدْرِيسَ فَرَحَّبَ بِي وَدَعَا لِي بِخَيْرٍ
Then I was taken up to the fourth heaven and Jibril asked for it to be opened. It was said, `Who are you?’
He said, `Jibril.’
It was said, `Who is with you?’
He said, `Muhammad.’
It was asked, `Has his Mission started?’
He said, `His Mission has started.’
So it was opened for us, and there I saw Idris, who welcomed me and prayed for good for me
ثُمَّ قَالَ يَقُولُ اللهُ تَعَالَى
– then (the Prophet) said; Allah says;
وَرَفَعْنَاهُ مَكَاناً عَلِيّاً
And We raised him to a high station. (19;57)
Then he resumed his narrative;
ثُمَّ عُرِجَ بِنَا إِلى السَّمَاءِ الخَامِسَةِ
أَنَا بِهَارُونَ فَرَحَّبَ بِي وَدَعَا لِي بِخَيْرٍ
Then I was taken up to the fifth heaven and Jibril asked for it to be opened. It was said, `Who are you?’
He said, `Jibril.’
It was said, `Who is with you?’
He said, `Muhammad.’
It was asked, `Has his Mission started?’
He said, `His Mission has started.’
So it was opened for us, and there I saw Harun, who welcomed me and prayed for good for me.
ثُمَّ عُرِجَ بِنَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ السَّادِسَةِ
أَنَابِمُوسَي
عَلَيهِ
السَّلَمُ فَرَحَّبَ بِي وَدَعَا لِي بِخَيْرٍ
Then I was taken up to the sixth heaven and Jibril asked for it to be opened. It was said, `Who are you?’
He said, `Jibril.
It was said, `Who is with you?’
He said, `Muhammad.’
It was asked, `Has his Mission started?’
He said, `His Mission has started.’
So it was opened for us, and there I saw Musa, who welcomed me and prayed for good for me.
ثُمَّ عُرِجَ بِنَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ السَّادِسَةِ
أَنَابِاِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيهِالسَّلَمُوَإِذَاهُوَمُسْنتِدٌإِلَيالبَيْتِالمَعْموْرٍ
Then I was taken up to the seventh heaven and Jibril asked for it to be opened. It was said, `Who are you?’
He said, `Jibril.’
It was said, `Who is with you?’
He said, `Muhammad.’
It was asked, `Has his Mission started?
He said, `His Mission has started.’
So it was opened for us, and there I saw Ibrahim, who was leaning back against the Much-Frequented House (Al-Bayt Al-Ma`mur).
Every day seventy thousand angels enter it, then they never come back to it again.
Then I was taken to Sidrat Al-Muntaha (the Lote tree beyond which none may pass), and its leaves were like the leaves (ears) of elephants and its fruits were like jugs, and when it was veiled with whatever it was veiled with by the command of Allah, it changed, and none of the creatures of Allah can describe it because it is so beautiful.
Then Allah revealed that which He revealed to me.
وَقَدْ فَرَضَ عَلَيَّ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ خَمْسِينَ صَلَاةً
He enjoined on me fifty prayers every day and night.
فَنَزَلَتُ حَتَّى انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى مُوسَى، قَالَ;مَا فَرَضَ رَبُّك عَلَى أُمَّتِكَ؟
I came down until I reached Musa, and he said, `What did your Lord enjoin on your Ummah!’
قُلْتُ;خَمْسِينَ صَلَاةً فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ
I said, `Fifty prayers everyday and night.’
قَالَ;ارْجِعْ إِلَى رَبِّكَ فَاسْأَلْهُ التَّخْفِيفَ لِأُمَّتِكَ، فَإِنَّ أُمَّتَكَ لَا تُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ وَإِنِّي قَدْ بَلَوْتُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَخَبَرْتُهُمْ
He said, `Go back to your Lord and ask Him to reduce (the burden) for your Ummah, for your Ummah will not be able to do that. I tested the Children of Israel and found out how they were.’
قَالَ;فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى رَبِّيفَاسْأَلْهُ التَّخْفِيفَ لِأُمَّتِك
So I went back to my Lord and said, `O Lord, reduce (the burden) for my Ummah for they will never be able to do that.’ So He reduced it by five.
I came back down until I met Musa and he asked me, `What did you do?’
I said, `(My Lord) reduced (my burden) by five.’
He said, `Go back to your Lord and ask Him to reduce (the burden) for your Ummah.’

قَالَ;فَلَمْ أَزَلْ أَرْجِعُ بَيْنَ رَبِّي وَبَيْنَ مُوسَى وَيَحُطُّ عَنِّي خَمْسًا خَمْسًا حَتَّى قَالَ
I kept going back between my Lord and Musa, and (my Lord) reduced it by five each time, until He said,
يَا مُحَمَّدُ
هُنَّ خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ بِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ عَشْرٌ، فَتِلْكَ خَمْسُونَ صَلَاةً وَمَنْ هَمَّ بِحَسَنَةٍ فَلَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا كُتِبَتْ لَهُ حَسَنَةً، فَإِنْ عَمِلَهَا كُتِبَتْ عَشْرًا
وَمَنْ هَمَّ بِسَيِّئَةٍ فَلَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا لَمْ تُكْتَبْ شَيْئًا، فَإِنْ عَمِلَهَا كُتِبَتْ سَيِّئَةً وَاحِدَةً،
`O Muhammad,
these are five prayers every day and night, and for every prayer there is (the reward of) ten, so they are (like) fifty prayers.
Whoever wants to do something good then does not do it, one good deed will be recorded for him, and if he does it, ten good deeds will be recorded for him.
Whoever wants to do something evil and does not do it, no evil deed will be recorded for him, and if he does it, one evil deed will be recorded for him.’
I came down until I reached Musa, and told him about this.
He said;`Go back to your Lord and ask him to reduce (the burden) for your Ummah, for they will never be able to do that.’
I had kept going back to my Lord until I felt too shy.
This version was also recorded by Muslim.

وَهَذَا الَّذِي قَالَهُ الْبَيْهَقِيُّ هُوَ الْحَقُّ فِي هَذِهِ الْمَسْأَلَةِ، فَإِنَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ،

هَلْ رَأَيْتَ رَبَّكَ؟ قَالَ: “نُورٌ أَنَّى أَرَاهُ”.

وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ “رَأَيْتُ نُورًا”. أَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ، رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ

He said, “I did ask him that, and he said,
I saw it as light, how could I see Him!”
