Feeling Hopeless?
Worrying? Anxiety Attacks? Hopeless?
STOP! Have the highest of expectations from Allah and Purify your intentions + work hard!!
Ibn al-Qayyim said..“The extent to which a person is helped by Allah depends on the extent of his intention, drive, aim and hopes. Help from Allah comes to people in proportion to their intention, drives, hopes and fears, and failure comes to them in like manner.”
One of the names of Allah is Al Wakeel and the one who acts upon this name is called Al Mutawakkil (A status that is indeed very tough to attain).
Al Wakeel means it is Allah who controls His worshipers’ affairs and takes care of them. He never abandons them nor leaves them to another source.
Al Mutawakkil is someone (please read this thrice and keep repeating it as many times as you need till the “REAL” meaning of this status sinks in) who has complete HOPEFULNESS in Allah and complete HOPELESSNESS in His creation. He/She depends on Allah and ALLAH ALONE!
“…And whoever relies upon Allah – then He is sufficient for him.” (Qur’an, 65:3)
So what does it mean to rely on Allah?
It means to be firm in your heart.
“Relieve yourself of worry after you have planned; do not concern yourself with what Allah has undertaken on your behalf.” – Ibn Ata’illah
May Allah bless us with true Tawakkal in Him. Aameen.
