trust in Allah cc (Tawakol ‘ala Allah)
Our lesson today is about trust in Allah. Some people have the wrong concept of what constitutes trust in Allah, understanding that trust in Allah would be eg. do not take medicine, do not go to the doctor, do not study for a test, do not work, etc. It turns out that those who think so are wrong, it is not the sense of trust in Allah. Because? Because trust in Allah is a worship linked to heart and not the actions themselves. We must do all that is within our reach, that is, take the medicine, go to the doctor, study, work etc and then trust in Allah. The trust in Allah is to work to get what we want and then let our firm confidence in the heart of Allah, that He Who is the power over all things.
The word Tawakol in Arabic comes from the name of Allah Al Wakil. Al Wakil is the one who helps and guides you to you all that is good for you. It is one to which there is no better or greater Guardian, He. We all have problems and more problems in our life, and the solution to these problems is our trust in Allah and learn to trust Him, and submit with full surrender Him. When you see a road closing for you, know that the Wakil (The Guardian) is preserving you new ways that will bring more benefits and happiness you that the first, but we in our ignorance before the knowledge of Allah do not We realize this. Here's an example, every day we see, but we do not realize. Take the example of a fetus, this gets used in the womb and all their food and all their survival comes through a single path that is the umbilical cord. When the fetus is born and comes to life he cries. Because? Why was all the life with which he was accustomed, closed to him the way by which he was treading. But he did not realize that Allah SWT opened his two other better ways, that is, rather than the cord now he has the milk from which it breast of his mother's breasts. When these two doors close before him, he cries, but Allah SWT instead of these two doors opened her 4 door, 2 drinks and 2 food, milk, water, fruits and vegetables and the meat of animals. When it comes to death he cries.Because? Because it will close again the ways in which he was accustomed. But if it is of benefactors Allah will open for him in exchange for the eight gates of Paradise.And if it is of evildoers will open the seven gates of hell. With this example we see how Allah SWT is Merciful and as our knowledge is limited compared with the planning and domain that Allah SWT has on our lives.
But why should we trust in Allah? Let's see his kingdom to analyze whether we should trust him or not. Take the Kingdom of Allah SWT and imagine his power over all creation:
God disse no Quran al Karim:
" Say: O Allah, power Sovereign! You give sovereignty to whom You will and to draw from those who desire; exalt those who want and humiliate Thy pleasure. In Your hand is all good, because You alone are omnipotent. " 3:26
"It is Allah whatever is in the heavens and on earth" 14: 2
"Allah is the Creator of everything and is everything Guardian" 39:62
"To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth; enlarges and restricts His grace to whom He pleases, because it is Omniscient "42:12
"And if you ask them who created the heavens and the earth, surely answer you: Allah! Say: You will have noticed in you invoke instead of Allah? If Allah wanted to harm me, could happen to stop him? Or, if He wanted to favor me with some grace, they could deprive me of it? Say (more): Allah is enough for me! To him are ordered those who are confident. "39:38.
The Prophet said: " Verily the creation of each person happens in the womb of his mother, for 40 days in the form of embryo soon becomes a clot for a similar period of time. Soon becomes a piece of meat, also similar period of time. Finally Allah sends an angel who breathes the spirit and writes her 4 issues about it:. His livelihood, the period of his life, his works, and he will be happy (destined to Paradise) or convicted (destined for Hell) "
Subhan Allah brothers in the hands of who is your life?
God disse no Quran:
"Say: My prayers, my sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the Universe"
“E quando te decidires, encomenda-te a Allah, porque Allah aprecia aqueles que (a Ele) se encomendam. Se Allah vos secundar, ninguém poderá vencer-vos; por outra, se Ele vos esquecer, quem, em vez d’Ele, vos ajudará? Que os fiéis se encomendem a Allah!” 3:159 e 160
"And put you to the Seer, Immortal, and celebrate His praises" 25:58
Who is better than The Living who never dies we put all our trust in Him?
The trust in Allah is you leave your heart in the hands of Allah. It's like you say, "Oh Allah make my life what you desire!" As it has the certainty that Allah will only make the best for you. Take the Prophet Muhammad SAW in his supplication to Allah SWT:
"Here I am and happy to serve You. All the good is in His hands. Evil is not judged to You. I am the Lord and for the Lord. Blessed and Most High Thou art. I seek Your forgiveness and repent to You "(Labeika wa wal sa'deik khairu kulu biadeik wa sharu laisa ileik tabarakta wa wa ta'aleit astaghfiruka atubu ileik) (Muslim)
Does Allah SWT would aimlessly who trust in Him? Never! Consider the words of Allahu Ta'ala:
"But for those who fear Allah, He will appoint him a way out. And bestow, where least expected. And whoever is ordering Allah, know that He will be enough, because Allah delivers what it promises. " 65: 2-3
Ie the one to rely on Allah, suffice it to him and you will be more than enough.
"Chance is not enough Allah Custódio for His servant? However, they will try to frighten thee with other deities besides Him! But whom Allah astray there is no guide. In return, whom Allah, guides, no one can go astray. Doth not Allah, Punisher, Mighty? " 39:36 and 37
Take the Prophet teaching a young fellow trust in Allah:
Ibn Abbas (RAA) narrated that one day was behind the Prophet when he turned and said, "Oh boy, teach thee a few words: Remember Allah and He will keep you.Remember Allah and the always find next to you. If implorares for something, begs Allah. And if you need help, turns to Allah. And make sure that even if they meet all the people to benefit you in something, not the pharaoh, except what Allah willing there for you. And if come together to harm you with anything, will not do, except what Allah has determined for you. Thus, the feathers (pens) are removed, and the leaves (of the target books) dry. "(Tirmidhi)
They saw confidence? Who can be against me Allah is with me? Let's remember Allah brothers that He is always with us. We must be sure that whoever come together against us, will achieve nothing except what Allah has decreed for us. We must never fear the people, for Allah is the one who has power over all things and He alone has the power to do what He wants. If we have this firm assurance in our hearts we will be among the triumphant both in this life and in the Hereafter, for Allah SWT withdraw the concern of our hearts and bestow with a heart at peace.Allah SWT said:
" Say: never occur in what Allah has not predestined us! He is our Protector.The faithful to entrust Allah! " 9:51
Allah SWT said in a Qudsi hadith: "Oh son of Ádam! delivery at my worship and I refresh your intimate of all worldly anxieties and take away thy poverty;otherwise incutirei within yourself thousands of concerns and not take away your poverty. " (Ahmad and Ibn Maja)
Ie trust in Allah and He will take your heart and your soul concerns, otherwise Allah instilled in your heart thousand concerns.
God disse no Quran:
" But if they turn away, say: God is enough for me! There is no god but He!The Him I because it is the Lord of the Throne Supreme. " 9: 129
E disse tb:
"Say (more):. He is the Merciful, in whom we believe and what we commissioned" 67:29
The Prophet taught us to trust Allah all our affairs. For this he taught the salat al in Istikhara (Prayer for the guidance of Allah). Whatever the subject to leave you in doubt refer to Allah and submit to him the decision to take, because Allah knows and we ignore. See the trust placed in Allah when we perform the prayer taught by the Prophet Muhammad SAW:
"Oh Allah I look for Your advice and Thy wisdom, I implore you the power of Thy might, and beg you for Thy favor powerful, You You have got power and I do not own, You know and I do not know. And You are the knower of what is hidden. Oh Allah, if you know that this my to-do (and mentions the doubt) and the best for me, for my religion, for my present life and the future, makes it possible for me, makes it easier for me and then blessed me in it. And if you know that this my to-do is an evil for me, for my religion, for my present life and the future then removes it from me and push me away from him, and me makes it possible to better wherever you are, and then I make happy about it. "
“Allahumma inni astakheeroka bi ilmik. Wa'astaq-diroka biqodratik. Wa'as'aloka min fadlikal-azeem. Fa'innaka taqdiru wala aqdir. Wata lamo wala-a lam. Wa'anta-allamul ghuyoob. Allahumma in kunta ta lamu anna (hathal-amra*) khairun-lee fi deenee wama ashi wa ajila amri wa'ajilah, faqdorho lee, wayassirho lee, thomma-barik lee fih. Wa'in konta ta lamo anna (hathal-amra*) sharun-lee fi deenee. Wama ashi. Wa ajila amri. Wa'ajilaho. Fasrifho annee. Wasrifnee anh. Waqdur leyal-khayr haytho kan. Thomma ardini bih.”(Bukhari)
Look trust in Allah. I prefer Your choice oh Allah instead of my, decide this matter to Me, for You are my Guardian.
When the Prophet said that 70,000 of his ummah will enter Paradise without accountability, he was asked who would these people. Then the Prophet said: "They are not using or practicing the spell or amulets, and do not believe in bad omens, but only if the commission Allah" (Bukhari and Muslim)
Brothers say, not only with our tongues, but with our hearts that trust in Allah in all our affairs and we will have achieved the best remedy for the problems and concerns of this worldly life.
O Profeta SAAS disse:
"He who leave home to say: 'In the name of Allah, I commend myself to Allah, there is no strength or power but in Allah' (Bismillah tawakalto ala Allah, la haula wala Kuata ila billah), will be told: 'You have been guided (true path), and Allah will provide and keep thee; and Satan eluded you. '"(Tirmidhi)
The Prophet said: "When you are gathering up thy bed say: 'Oh Allah give myself to Thee, and Thee I guide my face, and I commend to you my affairs in Ti guard my broadsides, for love and for fear You. There is no refuge or protection from You except in You, I believe in Thy book revealed and the Prophet you have sent. ' (Allahuma aslamtu nafsi ileik, wa faudto amri ileik, wa wajahtu Wajhi ileik, wa lajatu dhahri ileik, raghbatan wa Rahba ileik, it Malja wala Manja minka ila ileik, amantu bi kitabika aladhi anzalt wa bi nabiyika aladhi arsalt); And if you die tonight, die as a true believer, with innate faith. And if you get the morning, Thou shalt find better. "(Bukhari and Muslim)
Brethren, let us learn these pleas and apply them in our day to day.
Some examples of those who trusted in Allah and ordered to him:
Take the example of Prophet Ibrahim AS who broke the idols that were worshiped by his people. Unbelievers when made sure that Ibrahim AS had done that, they wanted to punish him burning him in fogo.Quando were to put it on the fire came the angel Gabriel (AS) and said, "Oh accurate Ibrahim something?" He said: you do not, but Allah yes! He said, "Hasbi Allah wa al ne'ma Wakil (Just me Allah, which He is Excellent Guardian)". Then he was thrown into the fire, and Allah SWT who never abandons those who trust in Him said:
" However, we order: O fire, be coolness and peace for Abraham! Brought conspiring against him, but We made them losers " 21: 69-70
And the fire did nothing against Ibrahim AS, because he trusted his Lord has power over all things, and He is Lord of heaven and earth and all that is in them, and the fire is nothing more than a creature of Allah that does not benefit or prejudice except by the permission of Allah.
Take the example of Hajjar (Hagar) wife of Prophet Ibrahim AS, AS Ibrahim when he left her in the desert without providing any along with his son Ismail AS. She asked Ibrahim: "Oh Ibrahim why are you leaving us in this place?" And Ibrahim AS said nothing. Then she asked: "It was Allah who ordered you to do this" Then he motioned with his head yes. Then she said, "If He was the one who ordered you that then He will not forsake us." Subhan Allah the trust of force it in Allah SWT, He bestowed on her and her son with a source of pure water (Zamzam) which today provides water pure all the thousands of pilgrims every year.
Take the mother's confidence Prophet Musa AS when it was ordered by Allah SWT to launch his son in the river, and as a reward for their faith and trust in Allah, Allah SWT did not allow him should suck in any other woman who was not his mother, returning her son to her, and making her son (Mussa's) one of the most honored prophets. Allah SWT said in the Quran:
" restored him thus the mother to be comforted and not grieve, and that might know that the promise of Allah is true. But most of them know. " 28:13
Consider the confidence of the Prophet Musa AS to be pursued by the people of Pharaoh. The companions of Musa said: "No doubt we will be caught." And Mussa AS with your trust in Allah replied, "My Lord is with me and enlighten me." So let's see the result of that which is entrusted to Allah SWT. Allah SWT said in the Quran:
"And We inspired Moses: Strike the sea with your staff! And behold, it was divided into two parts, and each part was as a mountain high and firm. And we did catch up thence the others.And saved Moses, with all those with him estavam.Então drowned the outros.Sabei in this is a sign; but most of them do not believe ". 26: 63-67
Take the example of our beloved Prophet Muhammad SAW. The Prophet and the Sahabah stopped to rest once and the Prophet hung his sword in a tree and slept beneath that tree. There came a kafir man and took the sword of the Prophet and put the neck of the Prophet and said, "And now Muhamad who will protect you from me?" And the Prophet said only one word: "Allah" for the trust of strength Prophet of Allah, the sword fell from the hand of man, and the prophet SAAS took the sword and told the man: "And who will protect you from me?" He said, "Oh Muhammad I did nothing" So the Prophet SAAS said: "Witnesses that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah?" He said: "no" Then the Prophet said, "Apoiarás the tribes against us," he said, "No". Then the Prophet said, "Then you can go!"
And let's look at the example of Prophet Muhammad SAW fellow in his trust in Allah: Allah SWT said about them in the Quran:
" Are those to whom it was said: The enemy concentrated against you; I fear them! This has increased their faith and said: Allah is sufficient for us. What an excellent Guardian "! 3: 173
And we see the response of his trust in Allah SWT:
"By mercy and the grace of Allah, they returned unharmed. They followed what pleases Allah, know that Allah is full of bounty for Excellence "3: 174
Abu Mussa al Achari (RAA) narrated that the Prophet said, "Allow me to take you to one of the treasures of Paradise?" He said: "Surely oh Messenger of Allah." The Prophet said: "The way this is: 'There is no strength nor power except in Allah!(La haula wala Kuata ila billah!) ' "(Bukhari and Muslim)
So brothers, after we know it all, we will rely on Allah SWT or not? Confortaremos our hearts with this certainty or not?
Let us place in Allah all our affairs! We will do everything in our power and after that let to Allah decides the best way. If entering into our hearts trust in Allah will see that is simply ignorance we fear anyone besides Him, for He is SWT that has control over everything in the universe and human beings whatever power we have in this life ever able to do anything against the will and consent of Allah, because we are all poor and weak before our Lord. If we have this firm belief in our hearts we will never abide by doing something against the law of Allah for fear of anyone besides Him, for Allah is more worthy to be feared if we are faithful. But those who believe, Allah SWT said in the Quran Karim:
" Only believers are those whose hearts, when they are mentioned the name of God and tremble when they are recited the verses, is them added faith, and trust in their Lord. " 8: 2
Finally brethren, we are those who trust in their Lord and those who have their hearts filled with confidence in the Living who never dies, the Guardian who holds the keys of heaven and earth, and of human hearts keys.
Oh Allah guide us in the same direction of those who have guided, assures us health as well as those who have secured puts us in Thy protection as those that You protected, bless us what You have given us. Protect us from the evil that You have decreed, for in that decreed no one can contradicts it. Verily Thou shalt not humiliate those who are close to you and you do not fortaleces those who are your enemies, Blessed and Exalted you be oh Our Lord! Oh Allah you are our support, you are our victory, Allah is sufficient for us, that excellent Guardian!There is no strength nor power except in Allah! Oh Allah we expect Your Mercy, Your Forgiveness and against Your Punishment Salvation. Oh Allah Be praised for having given us the month of Ramadan, Oh Allah write us tonight blessed among the saved of Hell, with Your mercy for Thou art the greatest of the Merciful! Oh Allah we trust in Thee and to Thee is the journeying ! And peace and blessings of Allah be upon the Prophet Muhammad SAW and all his followers, Allahuma amin!
