5. The Definition Of Shakur
I have suddenly remembered an incident with the mentioning of throwing sand. I regard this sudden remembrance as an indication from Allâh that I should narrate the incident. Otherwise I would not have remembered it suddenly. One of Allâh s names is Shakur. Mullâ Ali Qâri (Rahimahullâh) writes in Sharhul Mirqât under the explanation of the name Shakûr that one of the ninety nine names of Allâh is Shakûr . Its meaning is:The one who gives reward in abundance for a little amount of action.
For example, if you safeguarded your gaze from staring at attractive faces and ghair mahram (Women who you can marry and are not permissible to look at.) women, then what great act is it? You have been protected from punishment, disgrace and an illicit love affair. Even women have an impression that this person who is safeguarding his gaze is some saint. Had he stared, the honour of his beard would have been polluted. The honour of his round hat would have terminated. Allâh has granted three rewards for protecting one's gaze. This is a proof of His being Shakûr.
