The Relationship Between Taking Means and Reliance on Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Brother 'Atif, in his second question, he says: Does taking means contradict reliance on Allah?
Answer:
Both are necessary. One must take the beneficial means while relying on Allah. One should not take the means without relying on Allah, nor rely on Allah while neglecting the means. Rather, Allah has commanded the combination of both: taking the beneficial means while relying on Allah to achieve the desired result. Yes.
