Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abdul Rahman al-Dahi from Harimilah asks you to explain the noble verse in His saying, Blessed and Exalted is He: I seek refuge
in Allah from Satan, the expelled [from His mercy].بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
[An-Nahl 16:98]
And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out (3) And will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allah - then He is sufficient for himوَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مَخْرَجًا وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ
[At-Talaq 65:2-3]
.

Answer:
Yes, the verse is clear in encouraging taqwa (mindfulness of Allah), which is doing what Allah has commanded and leaving what Allah has forbidden, hoping for the reward and fearing the punishment.
And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way outوَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مَخْرَجًا
[At-Talaq 65:2]
from the difficulties and hardships, so taqwa is the cause of relief from distress and escape from tightness. This is another matter, along with being brought out of the trials.
And will provide for him from where he does not expectوَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ
[At-Talaq 65:3]
, sustenance is in the hand of Allah the Exalted and Majestic. So if one fears Allah the Exalted and Majestic, then Allah
And will provide for him from where he does not expectوَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ
[At-Talaq 65:3]
, even where one does not think that sustenance will come from that direction, because Allah is capable of all things and He is the Most Merciful of the merciful. And whoever relies upon Allah, this is a second quality, which is tawakkul (reliance upon Allah) and entrusting matters to Him, Glorified and Exalted is He. Whoever relies upon Allah means he entrusts his affairs to Him and depends on Him, Glorified and Exalted is He.
And whoever relies upon Allah - then He is sufficient for him.وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ
[At-Talaq 65:3]
means He suffices him. So if he relies upon Allah, Allah will suffice him in what concerns him and will set his affairs right. Yes.
