Those whom Allah has Favoured]


The
ones Allah has favoured, are those on whom Allah bestowed knowledge of
the truth, which they in turn have comprehended well, and the
willingness to comply with it and place it above all interests. Those
are the ones treading the path of security and salvation while others
are on the way to destruction.

This is why Allah commanded us to say the following a few times a day

Guide
us to and on the straight path; the path of those you have favoured,
neither the path of those who have brought wrath upon themselves, nor
that of those who went astray
Al-Faatiha, 1:6-7
