He is Sensitive-Hearted Servants of the Most Merciful 3 Halis Bayancuk Hoca (Abu Hanzala) عَذَابَ جَهَنَّمَۗ اِنَّ عَذَابَهَا كَانَ غَرَامًاۗ اِنَّهَا سَٓاءَتْ Those who say, “Our Lord! Turn away from us the punishment of Hell. Indeed, its punishment is a punishment lasting and difficult to bear.” Indeed, what an evil abode and what an evil residence.” (25/Al-Furqan, 65-66) The Servants of the Most Merciful Have Sensitive Hearts The beautiful walk and speech of those believers, and their spending their nights in standing and prostrating, never drive them to arrogance. They do not feel, “I have earned, I have become, I have finished,” with their deeds. Because, what drives them to do these deeds is their knowledge of Allah (swt) as He should be known, and their knowledge that no matter what they do, they will not be able to thank Him properly for His blessings. If their walk and words are beautiful, it is from the beauty of Islamic morality. If they spend the night standing and prostrating, it is because Almighty Allah has enabled them to do good deeds. This awareness protects them from arrogance, which is the bane of good deeds. The more deeds they do, the more they are filled with gratitude, thankfulness and awe of Almighty Allah. This anxiety that believers feel about the punishment of Hell is a reflection of their belief in the hereafter on their tongues. Most of their prayers are the verbal expression of this faith: “And some of them say, ‘Our Lord! Grant us good in this world and in the hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.’ They will have a good share for what they did. And Allah is swift in reckoning.” (2/Al-Baqarah, 201-202) “Those whose hearts tremble at the thought of returning to their Lord, even though they have fulfilled what they were supposed to do. These are the ones who race towards good deeds and are ahead of them.” (23/Al-Mu’minun, 60-61) “They will say, ‘Before, we feared among our families. And Allah was gracious to us and protected us from the punishment of Hell. And indeed, we used to call upon Him before that. Indeed, He is the Beneficent, the Merciful.’ ” (52/At-Tur, 26-28) While explaining the night prayer above, we quoted verses from three different surahs. Re-read verses 16 of the Surah As-Sajdah, 19 of the Surah Az-Zumar, and 17 and 18 of the Surah Az-Dhariyat from those passages; you will find similarities with verses 64 to 66 of the Surah Al-Furqan. You will see that those who spend the night in qiyam pray to their Lord with fear and hope; they fear the punishment of the Hereafter and hope for the mercy of their Lord, and they sit up in the dawn after the night and ask for forgiveness for their sins. On the one hand, this shows the unique harmony of the verses of the Quran, and on the other hand, it points to the common characteristic of believers who practice their morality by worshipping at night. This is the anxiety about the Hereafter, the fear of the hearts, and the feeling of need for the mercy of Allah Almighty. In short, it is the consciousness of servitude.
