THERE IS A MEASURE FOR EVERYTHING In many verses we read that everything and every affair has a measure. Anything, be it physical or spiritual has certain extremes, or utmost points or borders, which is dangerous to exceed or transgress. In other word, nothing in this world exists without a measure or without an account. As an example we may mention the blood which circulates in our veins. It consists of some twenty or more elements, all of which must have a certain amount or number!

An increase or decrease of that amount or number will result in a dangerous fault and failure, which manifests itself in some sort of a disease! Such an account is not only in man's blood, but in everything that can exist! Therefore, if man wants to live free of defects and faults he must observe the medium in between the two settled extremes of all things and all affairs.

AND WHEN ALLAH INTENDS EVIL TO A PEOPLE, NO ONE CAN WARD IT OFF, AND BESIDES HIM THERE IS NO PROTECTOR FOR THEM. THE COMMENTARY MAN'S INVISIBLE GUARDS (VERSE NO. 11) The pronoun, ©HIM¨ in the beginning of the above verse, returns to mankind, which implies that Allah is the protector and the guardian of His servants, and cares much for them. He surrounds man with His infinite knowledge and Mercy, and protects him from many hazards and fatal incidents, but His protection is not without condition.

Man may go to throw himself into an abyss, or to commit suicide either physically or spiritually. Therefore God helps those who help themselves.
