Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Explain to us good opinion of Allah?
The Shaykh : Good opinion of Allah is that when a person does a righteous deed, he has a good opinion of his Lord that He will accept it from him. When he supplicates to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), he has a good opinion of Allah that He will accept his supplication and respond to it. When he commits a sin and then repents to Allah and turns away from that sin, he has a good opinion of Allah that He will accept his repentance. When Allah the Exalted brings about calamities in the universe, he has a good opinion of Allah that He (Exalted and Majestic is He) only brought about these calamities for great and profound wisdoms. He has a good opinion of Allah in everything that Allah the Exalted decrees in this universe, and in everything that Allah the Exalted legislated through the tongue of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), that it is good and benefit for the creation, even if some people do not perceive this benefit or that wisdom in what was legislated. But it is upon us all to submit to the decree of Allah the Exalted, both in legislation and in destiny, and to have a good opinion of Him, for He (Glorified and Exalted is He) is the One worthy of praise and glory.
