Do we really trust Allah with our affairs? Do we really try our utmost to help ourselves?

Many people ask how am I supposed to balance between the process of relying on Allah swt for all my plans and yet still spend time in attempting to map things out for myself. In this lecture Shaykh Sulaiman Moola discusses the idea of collaborating the balance between planning and reliance on Allah SWT to form the correct mindset for all of us.

If we truly believe everything is from Allah and everything is by Allah’s will then what else do we need? Why do we have unease and worry?

There has been a sense of hopelessness since the November elections, but we are not alone.

In this reminder, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani warns against mere religious fantasizing as contrary to contentment with decree. He cites two stories where companions advised people not to wish to be where Allah did not place them. These companions reminded that one does not know what one’s state would be had one been in the life of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) for example, facing the intensely arduous circumstances the companions faced.

Shaykh Faraz explains in light of these narrations that one should focus instead on turning to Allah where He has willed for one to be. He counsels not to imagine that any situation other than where Allah placed one would be better.
