Reasons for Preserving Allah’s Grace and Avoiding His Wrath

Abstract

In this research, I have provided four reasons for preserving Allah’s Grace and avoiding His Wrath. I have started with an introduction, in which I defined both Grace and Wrath. Then, I have detailed the reasons as follows:

The first reason: Supplication and its effect on keeping Allah’s Grace and avoiding His Wrath. I also shed light on the meaning of supplication, its types and benefits.

The second reason: Istighfar (seeking Allah’s Forgiveness) and its effect on preserving Allah’s Grace and pushing away His Wrath. I also talked about the difference between Istighfar and repentance, the best time for it, and its benefits.

The third reason: Hawqala (saying “lā ḥawla wa-lā quwwata ʾillā bi-llāh”) which can be translated as "There is no power nor strength except by Allah" and its impact on keeping Allah’s Grace and avoiding His Wrath. I also defined it and shed light on its advantages.

The fourth reason: Charity and its effect on preserving Allah’s Grace and pushing away His Wrath. I talked in detail about its meaning, types and benefits.

Finally, I provided evidence from the Quran and Sunnah to support such reasons, and then I mentioned the results and recommendations.
