Yaqeen: Secondly, yaqeen or faith is imperative
that Allah is Alam as sir wal qafiyyat, He
has knowledge of the manifest and the hidden. In other
words, He is Omniscient.
Muntaha al shafqat ala ibadehi: Thirdly, the
person should have the firm belief that Allah is utmost
kind on His creatures. Momin is near and dear
to Allah. The instinctive love that a mother has for
her child is also from Allah. Allah's love for His creatures
is thousands of times more than a mother's love for
her child. In fact, his love for the creatures is unfathomable.
He is the Sustainer, He creates trains, and loves those
He has brought up with care. Many examples can be cited
about this. But now we are quoting one narration from
Hayat al Quloob of Allama Majlisi:
Hazrat Nooh (a.s.) cursed his disobedient people. As
a result of this curse, all the infidels got drowned
in the flood. One angel came to Hazrat Nooh (a.s.).
Hazrat Nooh (a.s.) was a potter. At the time when the
angel came to him, he was busy on the potters-wheel
making goblets and tempering them on fire. The angel
bought all the goblets from Hazrat Nooh (a.s.) and started
breaking them one after another. Hazrat Nooh (a.s.),
surprised and upset, asked him why he was breaking the
goblets. The angel said, " What right you have
over the things that I have already paid for?"
Hazrat Nooh (a.s.) said, " Don't you know that
I had made the goblets with my own hands?" The
angel rejoined, " You have only made the goblets,
you have not created them! Even then you are upset at
my breaking them. When you got so many creatures drowned
in the floods, would not Allah, the Creator, have felt
upset and sad!" At this, as is quoted in Alal
aash Sharaey, Hazrat Nooh bowed down his head and
so much that he was given the name of Nooh (a.s.) because
of this.
