How to Achieve Good Opinion of Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu 'Abdullah on the program's phone line asks about having a good opinion of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). How is that achieved?
Answer:
Having a good opinion of Allah is obligatory. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says: "I am as My servant thinks of Me," orSahih al-Bukhari 7505 so let him think of Me whatever he wishes. If he has a good opinion of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, then Allah, Mighty and Majestic, will honor him. If he has a bad opinion of Allah, then Allah, Mighty and Majestic, will humiliate him and punish him. Allah the Exalted said: [Fussilat 41:23] They think of Allah other than the truth, the thought of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance. As for the believers, they think of Allah the truth and have a good opinion of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.

أنا عند ظن عبدي بيAnd that was your assumption which you assumed about your Lord. It has brought you to ruin, and you have become among the losers."
