The Ruling on Reliance upon Allah and Its Effect in Preserving the Servant
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This transgression: I ask about supplication, and I do not turn to myself for even the blink of an eye. How does Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, direct a person to himself, and what are the causes that lead to that?
Answer:
It is obligatory for the Muslim to rely upon Allah, and reliance upon Allah is a type of worship, so worship Him and rely upon Him[Al-Ma'idah 5:23].
Upon Allah, so let the believers rely. Reliance is a great act of worship, and it is entrusting matters to Allah, Mighty and Majestic, who is the Trustee and the Accountant. So if you rely upon Allah,
and depend upon Him, entrusting your affair to Him, then Allah will preserve you, take charge of you, and care for you, and He will not entrust your affair to anyone else. But if you rely upon other than Allah, then Allah will entrust you to it and abandon you. And if He entrusts you to someone else, you will perish, because he is weak like you. For this reason, in supplication, [we say], "Do not entrust me to myself or to anyone other than You for even the blink of an eye, or less than that."
