I hear in scientific medical seminars (Praise be to Allah, and that is sufficient). I ask for clarification of this phrase (and that is sufficient)?

The questioner : Also, the listener says that he hears from the brothers in the good religious seminars saying "Praise be to Allah, and that is sufficient", so I ask you to kindly clarify this phrase regarding the word "and that is sufficient", may you be rewarded?

The Shaykh : Yes. The meaning of their saying "Praise be to Allah, and that is sufficient" is that Allah the Exalted is sufficient for His servant, as Allah the Exalted said
Is not Allah sufficient for His Servant أليس الله بكاف عبده
[Az-Zumar 39:36]
and He the Exalted said
And whoever relies upon Allah - then He is sufficient for him. ومن يتوكل على الله فهو حسبه
[At-Talaq 65:3]
meaning He is sufficient for him in his affairs and matters. The doer in the phrase "and that is sufficient" is Allah Mighty and Majestic, and the meaning of "and that is sufficient" is not "my saying is sufficient," but rather the meaning is "Praise be to Allah, and Allah is sufficient," meaning that Allah the Exalted is sufficient for His servant, as in the verse in which Allah said
Is not Allah sufficient for His Servant أليس الله بكاف عبده
[Az-Zumar 39:36]
. Yes.

The questioner : May Allah bless you.
