The questioner:
Is one who has a good opinion of Allah while the causes of salvation have not been established considered to have had a bad opinion?
The Shaykh:
How can the opinion be good and then become bad? One should have a good opinion of Allah in all circumstances, even if there are no apparent causes before him. Allah will provide causes that you do not know about if you have a good opinion of Allah. Even if there are no apparent causes before you, Allah will provide you with causes that you do not know about. He may provide you with angels from among the angels that you do not know about and do not see, or He may send someone to help you without you having calculated for it or anything else. Yes.
