Asalaam alaikum Warahmatulah
Wabarakatuh.
فَالْيَوْمَ
لَا يُؤْخَذُ مِنكُمْ فِدْيَةٌ وَلَا
مِنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا ۚ مَأْوَاكُمُ
النَّارُ ۖ هِيَ مَوْلَاكُمْ
ۖ
وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ
So
today no ransom will be taken from you or from those who disbelieved.
Your Mawla is
the Fire. It is most worthy of you, and wretched is the destination.
[Surah Hadeed 57:15]
As
we know; ‘That is because certainly
Allah is the Mawlaaof
those who believe, and indeed
the disbelievers have no Mawlaa.’
[Surah Muhammad
47:11]
The
meaning of Mawlaa
is one who is willing to protect you,
and does protect you.
Your
Mawlaa is An-Naar [the fire] - which
can not protect anyone, so in reality its not a "mawlaa"
[protector]. By what we understand from the word is like "the
only thing that you could take for a mawlaa
is an-naar [the fire]" "that
is your only refuge", when that is not even really a protector.
Infact, it's your own enemy.
This
is similar to when Allah says;
أَ
وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَكَذَّبُوا
بِآيَاتِنَا أُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ
الْجَحِيمِ
But
those who disbelieve and deny Our signs - those are the companions
(As-haab)
of Hellfire. [Ma'idah
5:10]
Because
the hellfire is not a good companion, rather it is your enemy. And a
Sahabi [companion]
is someone who is always with you.
