Treating Fear of the Future and Sustenance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I maintain the five daily prayers at their times, and I maintain reading the Qur'an and voluntary fasting, praise be to Allah. But sometimes I am overcome by fear of the future—the future of my livelihood and sustenance, and the future of my children and their sustenance, especially in these recent times. This has brought worry, distress, and confusion into my heart. He asks: What is your guidance and advice for me in these matters?
Answer:
This is from Shaytan. You must seek refuge in Allah from Shaytan. If you feel any of this, seek refuge in Allah, have good opinion of Allah, and rely upon Allah. Allah will make things easy for you and your children, if Allah wills.
