Allah Is Not Your Teddy Bear
“And when affliction touches man, he calls upon Us, whether lying on his side or sitting or standing; but when We remove from him his affliction, he continues [in disobedience] as if he had never called upon Us to [remove] an affliction that touched him. Thus, it is made pleasing to the transgressors, which they have been doing.” [Quran,Yunus 10:12]
Allah is not simply a comforting presence to be turned to only in times of need or distress, like a child clinging to a stuffed toy for comfort. Rather, Allah is the Almighty, the Creator, and the Sustainer of the universe, deserving our utmost reverence, obedience, and submission.
We should approach our relationship with Allah with a sense of awe, humility, and accountability, recognizing His greatness and authority and not reducing Him to a mere source of comfort or a means to personal ends.
We should deepen our understanding of who Allah is and honor Him in all aspects of our lives, not just when we seek solace.
The Prophet (ﷺ) says, “... Be mindful of Allah, and you will find Him in front of you. Recognize and acknowledge Allah in times of ease and prosperity, and He will remember you in times of adversity...” [Hadith 19, 40 Hadith An-Nawawi]
