The Relationship Between Reliance on Allah and Taking Means
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: I am an elderly man, and I worry a great deal about my sons, and I am very anxious about their future, and when they travel, and many other matters. Does this conflict with reliance on Allah? And what do you advise us? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Taking means does not conflict with reliance on Allah. Rely on Allah and take the means. Do not remain with reliance on Allah and leave the means, nor take the means and leave reliance on Allah, but rather combine the two.
