The Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) is the best human being. Allah (هلالج لج) forgave all his past and future sins. Allah (هلالج لج) tells us in Surah An Nisa:

Surely, We have sent down to you (O Muhammad SAW) the Book (this Quran) in truth that you might judge between men by that which Allah has shown you (i.e. has taught you through Divine

Inspiration), so be not a pleader for the treacherous.

Allah (هلالج لج) tells us that He sent this Book on the Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) with the truth. It is protected from the shayatheen. There is no falsehood in the Qur’an. It is sent by the truth and in the Qur’an there is truth. What is the Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) supposed to do? Allah (هلالج لج) told him to judge between the people by the Qur’an in times of dispute.

Earlier we mentioned about Dawud (عــــلـیـھ الـســــالم) who was hasty to judge so he quickly sought forgiveness. Here Allah (هلالج لج) is telling the Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) to judge between the people by the Qur'an. Judge between the people by what Allah (هلالج لج) taught him and inspired to him. It shows Allah (هلالج لج) is showing you the ayat. Sometimes the ayat are in front of you but you cannot judge by it. It is all from Allah (هلالج لج). Don't follow your desires. It also shows the Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) is blameless from any mistake in conveying the message and the rules & legislations. He doesn't do anything by desire. We should not use the Qur’an following our desire to judge between the people.

اللهم أرنا احلق حقا وأرزقنا اتباعه وأرنا الباطل باطال وأرزقنا اجتنابه O Allah (هلالج لج), show us the truth as the truth and make us to follow it

and show us the falsehood as the falsehood and make us to abstain from it.

This dua shows Allah (هلالج لج) is the One Who will show us the truth. Even though the Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) did not make any mistake or follow his desire in conveying the message or in judging between the people. Yet after commanding to judge between the people by what Allah is showing him, he forbade him from siding with the betrayers. For example, there is contract between two and one betrayed the other, so don’t side with and defend the betrayers. You need to know that the betrayers will always be recognized and known. This is a strong message from Allah (هلالج لج) to the Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) and it is more so for us. 5th Shawwal 1438 �1 29th June 2017

Places of Istigfaar in the Qur’an مواطن اإلستغفار ف القرآن

Don’t side with the betrayers and defend those who are known to be betrayers. Otherwise this will encourage them to sin even more.

And seek the Forgiveness of Allah, certainly, Allah is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Then Allah (هلالج لج) commands the Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) to seek forgiveness. The Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) never sided with the betrayers, still Allah (هلالج لج) asked him to seek forgiveness if it happened to him. Then Allah (هلالج لج) says that He is الـغفور الـرخـیم - He will forgive those who ask forgiveness and he will be merciful to you- meaning he will guide you to do more good deeds. Mercy includes all goodness of duniya and akhirah. Allah (هلالج لج) made two promises- for forgiveness and for mercy. Never underestimate istigfar. The Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) used to say istigfar in every majlis 70 times or 100 times. Imagine, if we did this in our lives, you don’t know how much Allah (هلالج لج) will open for us. If there is any calamity, just focus on istigfar with a present heart.

Friday is a special day when you send blessings upon the Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص), seek forgiveness from Allah (هلالج لج) and make dua.

And do not argue on behalf of those who deceive themselves. Indeed, Allah loves not one who is a

habitually sinful deceiver.

Here Allah (هلالج لج) forbade the Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) from another matter- do not argue on behalf of the deceivers. The Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) said he is human, if two person came to resolve a conflict, and if one is more eloquent so even if he is wrong, because of his eloquence the Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) may take his side, because he is human and can make mistakes. The one who speaks well may be the sinner. But because he can defend himself well, the Prophet .may be convinced (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص)

Allah (هلالج لج) doesn’t like the betraying sinners. These are special commands to the Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) to ask forgiveness after the judgement.
