Grant shelter to him who begs for it in the Name of Allah

Ibn 'Umar ( May Allah be pleased with them ) said:

This valuable commandment invites us to behave politely with Allah Almighty and with people.

To treat Allah politely is one of the greatest ranks aspired by by those who are established in knowledge, through it one will treat people politely; once the slave knew the beautiful attributes of Allah as much as the human capacity, he will know what pleases Allah, and will do his best to achieve it, as well he will know what displeases Allah so that he abstains from it; out of feeling ashamed before Allah, and in anticipation of his reward, and out of hoping in his great bounty and vast mercy.

If we want to know how to behave politely with Allah, then it is to check whether all our words, deeds and conditions are pleasing to Allah, so that Allah does not see his slave where he forbade him to be, and that Allah does not miss his slave where he ordered him to be.

As for the politeness with people that stems from being polite with Allah: it is to obey the commands of Allah in terms of dealing with people, even if they oppressed you, this is the ultimate politeness with people in brief.

The Prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: " Grant shelter to him who begs for it in the Name of Allah " it is a calls for peace, pardon, and to delay taking the decisions and issuing the judgments.

It is most likely that the one who does so, deserves mercy; for his inability to resist, or his inability to bear the suffering.

Perhaps his seeking refuge with Allah stems from his tendency to peace and hatred of discord, his love for reconciliation, his sense of remorse and his determination to repent sincerely.

Therefore, we should not take the general indication of the text if we find an evidence that restricts the generality; in other words we are not obliged to shelter everyone who seeks refuge in the name of Allah, or that we have to continue to shelter the one whom we once sheltered then he continued in wickedness. Otherwise, this would be a call to ingage in more evils, and thus we would have harmed ourselves and helped him to transgress.

The saying of the Prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him):

This is another rule based on the good manners. It teaches us to be polite with Allah and to have mercy on the needy ones.

With the light of his insight with some knowledge of the provisions of the religion, the believer can answer himself and decide the ruling of accepting the invitation.
