In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate
Assalaamu alaykum
Dear Friends
I pray that you are well.
People who feel that their life is completely in their hands, they can't focus on anything. They are stressed and they can't sleep at night. Your self is feeble, you can't do everything. But if you rely on Allah, there is no murkiness but purity. People who is like this, Allah will take care of them.
وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّـهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مَخْرَجًا ﴿٢﴾ وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ ۚ وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّـهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّـهَ بَالِغُ أَمْرِهِ ۚ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّـهُ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدْرًا ﴿٣...[Qur'an At-Talaq 65:2-3]
...And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out (2) And will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allah - then He is sufficient for him. Indeed, Allah will accomplish His purpose. Allah has already set for everything a [decreed] extent. (3)
Allah is Al-Wali (The Protector), Al-Wakil (The Disposer of Affairs), Al-Hafiz (The Preserver), Al-Hasib (The Reckoner).
So, we should constantly turn to Allah, ask Him to protect us, to protect our hearts from forgetting Him and to give us the ability to rely on Him.
Allah guards people's bodies and also people's hearts. Those who are dear to Him, He guards their hearts but the guarding of the heart can often happen through unpleasant things. Ibn Rajab says, part of Allah's guarding is He creates unpleasant things in their lives because through these things the person's heart is protected. Maybe you lose your job and you are out of work for a few years and people make fun of you, you can't pay your bills and all kinds of things happen to you. But this might be better for you. It might have been that job might brought on something that you wouldn't have handled properly or might keep you heedless of Allah.
Prophet Yusuf was slandered and he was unjustly imprisoned. He went through intense emotional and some physical torture and separated from his loved ones. In the end Allah made him victorious. This was his destiny.
Whoever supposes that Allah's gentleness is separated from His destiny, it is because that person is shortsighted. So whatever happens to us, no matter how difficult or painful it looks, there is gentleness in this.
So someone who goes through unpleasant things in his life is only high with Allah and he is being raised.
Someone said, whenever Allah tests you, He might throw you into a river, but He will still throw a straw for you to breathe through until things change.
Whatever He throws at you, pleasant or unpleasant, all of it is guarding you in the way He sees best.
Our job is to enter into the sphere of Allah's guardianship, not the sphere of Allah's revenge the criminals. How do we enter into the sphere of Allah's guardianship? By guarding His rights, His laws and the limits He prescribes, relying on Him and surrendering to Him and in return he will guard you with mysteries of guardians.
On the authority of Abu 'Abbaas Abdullah ibn 'Abbaas (radiAllahu'anhuma — may Allah be pleased with them two) said: I was behind The Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) one day and he said, "Oh young boy! I am going to teach you some words: preserve Allah and he will preserve you. Preserve Allah and you will find him in front of you. If you ask, then ask Allah; and if you seek aid, seek aid from Allah. Know! If the Ummah [nation] gathered to benefit you with something, they wouldn't benefit you except with something Allah wrote [i.e., decreed] for you. And if the Ummah gathered to harm you with something, they wouldn't be able to harm you except with something Allah wrote for you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried." [At-Tirmidhi]
In a nother narration, "Preserve Allah and you will find him in front of you. Remember Allah in ease and He will remember you in
difficulty. Know! Whatever passed you by you were not going to happen to you and whatever happened to you was not going to pass
you by. Know! Indeed success is with patience, indeed victory is with difficulty, and indeed with hardship is ease."
Whoever knows Allah suffices him does not feel alienated by people turning away from him nor feel intimate/overly happy when people draw near to him out of trust that what is destined will come to him.
May Allah protect our hearts from forgetting Him and give us the ability to rely on Him. Ameen.
Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.
And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
