Explanation of the Reality of Reliance upon Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Would you please explain the reality of
The Shaykh:
reliance upon Allah?
The presenter:
In this context, a person is
The Shaykh:
relying upon Allah and placing his trust in Him.
The presenter:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
Entrusting matters to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and depending on Him for bringing about good and warding off evil—this is reliance upon Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), while taking the means that Allah has commanded to be taken. Taking the means does not contradict reliance, because the One who commanded us to rely on Him also commanded us to take the beneficial means. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was the master of those who rely on Allah, and yet he took the means. He would make preparations for travel, may Allah praise him, and he would wear armor and don coats of mail, may Allah praise him. This is one of the means.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
