Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. We know that this blessed land is a secure land, and it has been distinguished from many of the lands of the world by this description. But this quality has been affected by some matters and fears in these days. So what are the true causes of security that individuals seek, so that we all may attain security and stability, and this great blessing may remain with us?
Answer:
The causes: First, the first of the causes by which security is attained is rectifying deeds and words. Rectification improves the relationship between the servants and Allah the Exalted and Sublime, and they repent to Allah of their sins and evil deeds, returning to Allah the Mighty and Majestic. Second, supplication: increasing supplication, increasing supplication, for the effect and impact of supplication is great, and it has a high status with Allah the Exalted and Sublime.
And third, what we mentioned regarding not delving into or entering matters that these people do not understand. Not delving into them or entering them, and entrusting them to those to whom Allah has entrusted them[An-Nisa 4:83].
And those who hold the position of the Messenger are the scholars, for the scholars are the heirs of the prophets. The Messenger, while he was alive, people would refer to him (peace and blessings be upon him) in his person. So when he passed away, people refer to the people of knowledge, who are the heirs of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). So they leave speaking about these matters, and this also establishes security, by the permission of Allah.
What establishes security, by the permission of Allah, is having a good opinion of Allah, not despairing, not losing hope, and having trust in Allah the Mighty and Majestic. The Muslim has steadfastness during trials, and he does not waver, and no doubts, illusions, or whispers occur in him. Rather, he trusts in Allah the Mighty and Majestic, he trusts in Allah, he trusts in the victory of Allah.
And he hopes that Allah the Exalted and Sublime will remove what has happened. He has trust in Allah and reliance upon Allah the Exalted and Sublime. Yes.

But if they had referred it back to the Messenger or to those of authority among them
وَلَوْ رَدُّوهُ إِلَى الرَّسُولِ وَإِلَىٰ أُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنْهُمْAnd those who hold the position of the Messenger are the scholars, for the scholars are the heirs of the prophets.
