Trust Allah

Islam For All

Ibn Kamal Deen Ul-Haq

Imam Ibn Qayyim al-Jauziyyah:

"Calamities, trials and tests are signs of love from Allah for the believers. They are comparable to a cure; although it may be bitter, you accept it because it is from the one whom you love; and to Allah belongs the best example."(Ighaathatul Lahfan p. 286)

Men said to them: "A great army is gathering against you": And frightened them: But it (only) increased their Faith: They said:

"Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs."

Quran 3:173

Being patient and persistent in making Dua

As Muslims, we should be careful in not losing hope in our dua. We should also ensure that we don’t get impatient by setting expectations for getting immediate results. The Prophet (SAW) said:

“You will be answered so long as you are not in a hurry and say, ‘I made dua but I did not receive a response.’”

[Narrated by Al-Bukhari, 6340; Muslim, 2735]

Instead of being impatient, think positively and have faith and hope that Allah will make a way out for you. Being impatient will do nothing but increase your stress and anxiety.

Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“So verily, with the hardship, there is relief, verily, with the hardship, there is relief.”

[Surah Al-Sharh, 94:5-6]

The Prophet (SAW) advised Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father):

“Know that victory (or achievement) comes through patience, and that ease comes through hardship…”

While we should be patient in making Dua, we should at the same time be persistent. Being persistent means to repeat your dua to Allah and not giving faith or hope. This is proven by the prophets’ (SAW) traditions. Muslim [1794] narrated that Ibn Mas’ood (RA) said:

When the Prophet (SAW) made dua he would repeat it three times, and when he asked he would ask three times.

Ibn Al-Qayyim (RH) said in Al-Daa’ wa’l-Dawa’ [p.25]:

One of the most beneficial of remedies is persisting in dua.

In Kitaab Al-Zuhd by Imam Ahmad [305] it is narrated from Qataadah:

Mawraq said:

I can find no other likeness for the believer except that of a man who is at sea, clinging onto a piece of wood, and saying, “O Lord, O Lord,” that Allah might save him.

Your speech is tested with your actions

“When you said, “Allah is sufficient for me,” then prepare yourself to face some tests to prove it.”You are not proving it to Allah for He knows already, rather you are proving it to yourself, whether you truly trust and believe in Him, or was your speech nothing but a false promise. Your actions define you not your words. So say it, and prove it by actions..Inshaa Allah!

‎~Trust Allah Always~

Everything in life is temporary.

Every problem has a solution. And every hardship has a relief. And every difficulty comes with ease. And every darkness has light. And every misfortune has a purpose. But truly everything depends on Allah..Alhamdulilah..

So if things are going good, thank ALLAH and

enjoy it because it won't last forever.

And if things are going bad, thank ALLAH and

don't worry. It won't last forever either ♥
