Trust In Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala)

This is to completely submit yourself to Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) without any doubts and with full conviction. How do we do this? By following the commands that have been outlined for us in the Qur’an and Sunnah. By living your life according to the Qur’an and Sunnah, you will only find success and the Mercy of Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) upon you. By being thankful to Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) in times that good happens to you and turning to Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) in times of distress will only increase in your Eman. Be patient in times of hardship and recognise the trials and tribulations that you are going through so that you can face the calamity that you are in with full belief in Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala).

                  Make Du’a

Making Du’a is very powerful. What a greater time to make Du’a then in the holy month of Ramadhan.

Once Musa (Alayhis Salam) asked Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala): O Allah! You have granted me the honour and privilege of talking to you directly, Have you given this privilege to any other person?

Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) replied, O Musa during the last period I am going to send an ummah, who will be the Ummah of Muhammad (Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam) with dry lips, parched tongues, emaciated body with eyes sunken deep into their sockets, with livers dry and stomachs suffering the pangs of hunger- will call out to me (in dua) they will be much closer to me than you O Musa! While you speak to me there are 70000 veils between you and me but at the time of iftaar there will not be a single veil between me and the fasting Ummah of Muhammad (Subhana Wa Ta’ala).

Making Du’a is the very essence of worship. Abdullah bin Umar from Rasool-Allah , "For whoever the door of du’a opened, for him the doors of mercy are opened. Whatever du’a is asked from Allah the best duaa is for well-being and safety among them." (Tirmidhi)

There are 3 things that happen to a du’a: 

o    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) answers it in this duniya

o    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) saves the du’a for the Akhira

o    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) turns away an evil from us that would otherwise would have been inflicted upon us.
