Transliteration:( Illab tighaaa'a wajhi rabbihil a 'laa )
19. It means that Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique freed Hazrat Bilal in search of gaining the pleasure of Allah.
From this emerge a few issues:
1. The sublime status of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique is such that Allah Almighty is the witness about his sincerity and beauty of intention.
2. Good deeds should not be done with the intention of obtaining Paradise or saving one-self from Hell but should be done for gaining the sole pleasure of Allah Almighty. Once He is pleased with you, then everything is achieved.
3. A person should bear in mind that just as he makes an effort to seek his sustenance, he should seek the pleasure of Allah Almighty more. Just as the doors of sustenance are different, so are the doors of Divine pleasure.
