''Friday Prayers'' :-:->
[al-An'aam 6:124].
"Allah knows best with whom to place His Message" means: not everyone
is qualified or fitto convey His Message; rather the Message has
those who are suited to conveying it and it cannotbefit any but these
people; Allah knows better than you who these people are. If all
individuals were equal -- as these people claim -- there could have
been no argument against them inthis verse.
Similarly, Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Thus We have tried someof them with others, that they might say: 'Is
it these(poor believers) that Allahhas favoured from amongst us?' Does
not Allah know best those who are grateful?"
[al-An'aam 6:53].
What is meant is: Allah knows best who will give thanks for His
blessings, so He singles them out forHis bounty from among those who
will not be grateful to Him. Not everyone is fit to thank Him or to
receive His blessings and be singled out for this honour.
Thoseindividuals and places andso on that Allah chooses have some
inherent qualities that are not found in other people andplaces, and
it is for that reason that Allah chose them, gave them precedence
because of those virtues and selectedthem. This is His creation and
His choice. "And your Lord creates whatsoever He wills and chooses"
[al-Qasas 28:68]. Allah does not choose anything and give it
precedence except for a reason that led to it being singled out and
given precedence. Yes, He is the One Who created this reason, as He is
the One Who created it then chose it after creating it.
End quote from Zaad al-Ma'aad, 1/53-54
To sum up, all the characteristics of this great prayer are by the
grace of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, to His slaves. He
chose it by His decree and singled it out for His bounty and
blessings, thus it attained this great importance in this world and in
the Hereafter.
And Allah knows best.
