Book: A Life of Piety
17. Allah

At this point, Allamah Alusi has narrated the incident of Ibrahim Ibn Adham (Rahimahullah). He was a king who sacrificed his kingdom for Allah’s sake. He worshipped Allah for ten years in a cave in Nishapur. Due to his blessing, the tafsir of Allah’s words is being presented to you. Now my name will also be mentioned with Your name.

Many kings have left their kingdoms but no one blesses them with Allah’s mercy. But this king abandoned his kingdom on Allah’s name due to which Allah granted him the honor of being mentioned on the tongue of the Auliya. Allamah Alusi has narrated his incident in the fourth part of the Qur’an. After worshipping Allah for ten years, Ibrahim Ibn Adham set off for hajj. Whilst making tawaf, he requested Allah to make him sinless. He heard a voice saying within himself, "O Ibrahim, I know that you have abandoned the kingdom for My sake. I appreciate your love. But all of mankind is making the same request as you have made. O Ibrahim, if We accept everyone’s dua, then on whom will Our grace and honour be manifest? On whom will My attribute of forgiveness be shown? Supplicate in this manner that Allah should protect you from sin and grant you the ability to repent. Seek steadfastness and if you commit any sin, immediately resort to repentance.
