Dear brothers and sisters undoubtedly, being desperate and giving up hope of Allahs mercy are considered Kufr (blasphemous deeds.) The most dangerous distress which may afflict this Ummah is to be defeated from inside, or to become desperate and hopeless. Therefore, Allah the Almighty tells us about the stories of the Prophets, may Allah have peace upon them, to be lessons for us. Now, the story I would like to tell you is realistic, whoever gives up hope in Allahs Mercy and becomes desperate, doesnt really know Who Allah the Almighty is. He doesnt know that in His Hands is the dominion of all things, and that when He decides upon a thing He only says to it:Be! and it is, and when He wants a thing to disappear, He only says to it: Disappear! and it does. We just need to be qualified to deserve Allahs victory. Never ever give up!!!... I want this story to be a practical lesson for us..... Calamities are Countless-diseases, financial crises, unemployment, acute poverty…etc. Also, there are calamities which could cause man to lose his freedom. By Allah dear brothers do you think that there is a calamity which is more serious than suddenly finding oneself inside the stomach of a blue whale? The mouth of the blue whale can bear fifty standing men, its length is one hundred and eighty meters, and its weight is one hundred and fifty tons. A Noble Prophet found himself suddenly inside the stomach of a blue whale. A huge fish swallowed him, so was there any hope of survival???? He was inside three darknesss : the darkness of the night, the darkness of the sea and the darkness of the stomach of the whale: (But He cried through the darkness Al-Anbiya:87) Sometimes, you are in dire need of using your mobile phone, but you find out that it is out of network coverage. Prophet Yunus(alayhi salaam) on the other hand, could call Almighty Allah, and he was answered in the deep darkness of the sea. It was ablessing that Allah heard his call: ( when he went off in anger, and imagined that We shall not punish him (i.e. the calamites which had befallen him)But he cried through the darkness(saying): La ilaha illa Anta [none has the right to be worshipped but You ], Glorified are You [above all that (evil) they associate with You]. Truly, I have been of the wrong-doers.So We answered his call, and delivered him from the distress. And thus We do deliver the believers (who believe in the Oneness of Allah, abstain from evil and work righteousness Al-Anbiya: 87-88) Perhaps the most wonderful part of this Ayah is the last one, because it is a timeless law which can be applicable to every believer whenever and wherever: (And thus We do deliver the believers (who believe in the Oneness of Allah, abstain from evil and work righteousness).... Yunus(alayhi salaam) him, is not the only addressee in this Ayah. All of the Ummah of Prophet Muhammad(sallallahu alayhi wasallam) is addressed in those stories. The stories of the Prophets, such as Yusuf, Yunus, Nuh and Ibrahim, may Allah have peace upon them, are not mentioned in the Noble Quran to increase our knowledge but rather, they are mentioned to us to make use of the moral lessons in each one of them to believe that no matter how little the hope is for someone to survive, Allah can interfere and save him.
