Weak And Needy

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

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

The greatest blessing is that Allah shows our weakness and susceptibility because the one who is conscious of his/her own weakness and susceptibility, he/she is the one who turns to Allah. All of Islam is based on our acknowledging that we are weak and needy of Allah.

On the authority of Abdullah ibn Abbas, Allah be pleased with father and son, who said: One day I was behind the Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he said to me:

Young man, I shall teach you some words [of advice]: Be mindful of Allah, and Allah will protect you. Be mindful of Allah, and you will find Him in front of you. If you ask, ask of Allah; if you seek help, seek help of Allah. Know that if the Nation were to gather together to benefit you with anything, it would benefit you only with something that Allah had already prescribed for you, and that if they gather together to harm you with anything, they would harm you only with something Allah had already prescribed for you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried.

[Tirmidhi]

May Allah increase our iman. Ameen. Please don't forget us your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
