“Do Not Grieve; Allah is With Us”
When the Prophet (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) hid in the cave, pursued by the Quraysh, he consoled his companion: “Do not grieve, indeed Allah is with us.”Allah confirms this moment in the Qur’an
لَا تَحْزَنْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَنَا
(Surah Tawba, 9:40)
This moment captures the very heart of Qur’anic guidance: to realize that Allah is always with us, wherever we may be. In life, we face countless trials—fear, hardship, oppression, distress, losses, illness, and many other struggles that weigh on the heart. Yet the Prophet’s words apply to every circumstance.
This is the essence of faith. Allah is the One who created you, sustains you, and envelops you in His mercy. When you begin to see your existence and everything around you through this reality, how can worry consume you? Instead, you taste the coolness and joy of faith.
The Prophet (ﷺ) lived this reality through long prayers at night, reverence in his daily prayers, by keeping his tongue moist with the remembrance of Allah, and complete trust in Allah. We too must strive to nurture this realization in our own lives.
May we find comfort in these words and live with the joy of knowing Allah is always near.
O Allah, fill our hearts with certainty, remove our fears, and make us among those who trust fully in You.
