1411. DELUDING ONESELF ABOUT ALLAH

(يا أَيُّها الْإِنْسانُ ما غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ الْكَرِيمِ * الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّاكَ فَعَدَلَكَ * فِي أَيِّ صُورَةٍ ما شاءَ رَكَّبَكَ) .1

“O man! What has deceived you about your generous Lord, Who created you and proportioned you, and gave you an upright nature, and composed you in any form that He wished?”2

4756.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : يابنَ مَسعودٍ ، لا تَغتَرَّنَّ بِاللَّهِ ، ولا تَغتَرَّنَّ بصَلاحِكَ وعِلمِكَ وعَمَلِكَ وبِرِّكَ وعبادَتِكَ .3

4756.The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘O Ibn Masud, do not be under any delusion about Allah, and do not be under any delusion with respect to your righteousness, your knowledge, your deeds, your goodness or your worship.’4

4757.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : إنّ مِن العِصمَةِ ألّا تَغتَرُّوا بِاللَّهِ .5

4757.Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Verily part of keeping oneself immune from sins is that you do not delude yourself about Allah.’6

4758.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : إنَّ مِنَ الغِرَّةِ باللَّهِ أن يُصِرَّ العَبدُ علَى المَعصيَةِ ويَتَمَنّى‏ علَى اللَّهِ المَغفِرَةَ .7

4758.Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Verily being under a delusion about Allah is when the servant persists in committing acts of disobedience and expects Allah to forgive him.’8

4759.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : كم مِن مُستَدرَجٍ بالإحسانِ إلَيهِ ، ومَغرورٍ بِالسَّترِ علَيهِ ، ومَفتونٍ بِحُسنِ القَولِ فيهِ ! .9

4759.Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Many a person approaches Allah’s punishment as a result of His good favour towards him in being ungrateful, and many a person is deluded as a result of Allah’s concealment of his sins, and many a person is captivated by the good things said about him!’10
