“Whoever desires honour, power and glory then to Allaah belongs all honour, power and glory.”
(Suratu Faatir, Ayah10).
Ibn Katheer Rahimahullah once said, "Whoever loves to have glory in this world and the next should adhere to
obedience of Allaah, for that will actualize for him this goal and because Allaah is the possessor of this world and the
next and all glory belongs to Him."
Some scholars said,. "Whoever obeys Allaah and keeps away from sins, Allaah will give him glory, for there is no act of
obedience that is not accompanied by glory and honour and there is no sin that is not accompanied by disgrace; and
Allaah has linked glory to acts of obedience and then made it light. He equally linked disgrace to sin and then made it
disgrace, darkness and a screen between Allaah and the sinner."
‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab went to Syria and Abu‘Ubaydah was in his company. When they reached a ford, ‘Umar
descended from his camel, removed his shoes, placed them on his shoulder and then passed. Abu‘Ubaydah said in
astonishment, ‘O Commander of the faithful! You are doing this? I do not wish that the people of this town see you in
this condition!’ Umar retorted, ‘O Abu ‘Ubaydah, if other person were to say this saying of yours, I would have made
him an example for the Muslims! We were the lowest of all people and then Allaah gave us glory by Islaam, and if
we seek glory in anything other that what Allaah has given us, Allaah will disgrace us.’
After the battle of Uhud, when Abu Sufyaan (then the commander of the Makkan army) wanted to leave, he stood on
a mountain and proclaimed as loud as he could, ‘Wars are won in turns! This is in return for your victory in the battle
of Badr. Up Hubal!’ The Messenger of Allaah said, ‘Rise up, O Umar, and answer him.’ Umar then said, ‘Allaah is
rather the Most-High and the Greatest. Our dead are in Paradise, while your dead are in Hell!’
And honour, glory and power belong to Allah, His Messenger and to the believers but
the hypocrites know not!
