It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), this Ummah had two guarantees from Allah. Now, one of those guarantees has been taken away, and the other still remains. Regarding these two types of protection, Allah Almighty has said: {وَمَا کَانَ اللّٰہُ لِیُعَذِّبَہُمْ وَأَنْتَ فِیہِمْ وَمَا کَانَ اللّٰہُ مُعَذِّبَہُمْ وَہُمْ یَسْتَغْفِرُونَ} … And Allah will not punish them while you are among them, and Allah will not punish them while they seek forgiveness.
