Is Not Allah Sufficient?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate
Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

If someone had a special connection with the President of the country, then he won't be worried or afraid to go out and about the country because he knows the President will take care of him by virtue of this special connection.

How would it be if you had a special connection with Allah? People might revolt against the President and when he is gone, so too your connection. But Allah, He is All Powerful. No creature can take away your special connection with Allah. So, is not Allah sufficient for you?

أَلَيۡسَ ٱللَّهُ بِكَافٍ عَبۡدَهُ ۥ‌ۖ وَيُخَوِّفُونَكَ بِٱلَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِۦ‌ۚ وَمَن يُضۡلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ ۥ مِنۡ هَادٍ۬

"Is not Allah sufficient for His slave? But they try to frighten you with other (gods) besides Him! for such as God leaves to stray, there can be no guide." Qur'an Az-Zumar 39:36

On top of that Allah is not unaware of what you are doing.

وَمَا ٱللَّهُ بِغَـٰفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ

"...And God is not unaware of what they do." Qur'an Al-Baqarah 2:74

Allah knows everything about us, where we are, what will happen to us in the future. Allah knows our needs because we are His slaves and Allah loves His slaves.

If we realized this and it enters deep into our hearts, it has consequences. We will find Allah enough for all the protection we need, all the rest and peace we crave for, and all the happiness we can imagine. When we make du'a to Allah, it is to express our neediness of our Lord. We don't think that Allah is not going to take care of us unless we remind Him and we don't think that Allah will not know what to do unless we remind Him. The only one reminded is someone who is able to forget and the only one apprised is someone who is able to neglect. Allah does not forget and He does not neglect.

May Allah make us realize His Majesty and make our hearts only for Him. Ameen. Please keep us in your night prayers. JazakAllahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
