Sulaiman Moola - The Balance Between Planning and Reliance on Allah SWT

About this lecture

In this lecture, Sheikh Sulaiman Moola explores the Islamic concept of Tawakkul — trust and reliance on Allah — and the essential balance between planning (tadbir) and reliance on Allah. Drawing on Quranic narratives of the Prophets Nuh, Yaqub, and Musa, as well as the story of the Hijrah, he demonstrates that Islam is a practical faith that encourages strategic thinking while making clear that ultimate reliance must always rest with Allah alone. The lecture is rich with classical scholarship, heartfelt personal anecdotes, and powerful reminders about being beloved to Allah.
