Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you, and we ask Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) to benefit us with this gathering. May Allah keep you safe.
The questioner:
One of the brothers asks: How should a Muslim have good expectations of Allah?
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. This question has no meaning: how does one have good expectations of Allah? One has good expectations of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) by hoping for good from Allah, always expecting good from Him, and increasing in the means of good, such as obedience and righteous deeds. In this way, one has good expectations of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
