Al-Israa (The Night Journey)

Verse 65

Table of Contents

    65. “Verily (as for) My servants, you have not any authority over them; and your Lord suffices (as their) Guardian.”

    Notwithstanding the fact that all people are the servants of Allah, the Lord, out of respect, has ascribed some to Himself by saying “My servants”, as He has also used such a term for proximity concerning the inanimate objects as well as in the case of /bayti/ (My house).

    ‘The servants of Allah’, have also been introduced with specifications of ‘faith’ and ‘trust’ in another verse, those who are by no means dominated by the Satan.1

    Certainly, the Satan carries out its temptation; establishes contacts, but they become constantly mindful and go on with their resistance.2

    We have it in quotations that ‘prayer call’ and ‘prayers’ are two ways of expelling the Satan.3

    Therefore, serving and worshipping the Lord provides one with insurance against satanic persuasions, temptations and Satanic deployments, for he who joins the Infinite Power, will become impenetrable.

    The verse says:

    “Verily (as for) My servants, you have not any authority over them; and your Lord suffices (as their) Guardian.”

    Anyway, he who becomes the servant of Allah, He will take care of him as his advocate, as his guardian, and as his superintendent.
