alhamd with another de done by the heart
as part of the Islamic education too one
of the greatest of all Deeds Done by the
heart it's the highest level of the and
the means and the secret of success in
this life and in Hereafter is to rely
upon Allah subhah wa
tala this is as we would see in the in
the text in the Quran and the sunah of
the Prophet something that is essential
for one's success in this life and in
Hereafter we say it every every time in
every seeking help from Allah to
establish the of
Allah and is basically it means when a
person have this
trustworthiness or to trust in Allah
subhana wa ta'ala and therefore to rely
upon Allah subhana wa tala and at the
same time to give up on people human
beings no matter how good and strong and
so on they are
they are the end human beings they will
die and Allah subhana T is the
Everlasting one that's why Allah
says rely upon the ever living That
Never Dies because the human beings they
die Allah subhana T never die Allah is
the most perfect with his names and
attributes and he's the creator of all
things he subhana tala is the one that
is able to change the heart of the Fier
enemy of yours so why then rely upon
other than Allah
tala so as the they Define it is the
true Reliance with one's heart upon
Allah subhana wa tala and bringing
benefits pushing away harm while taking
the means of course that Allah subhana T
commanded us to
do and there are so many verses in the
Quran that talks
about it's a condition of upon Allah
subh then rely upon him if you are
believers whoever Ries upon Allah
subhana tala Allah will suffice for him
you don't need anyone and this is how
literally things are we don't need
anyone but Allah subhah wa ta'ala so
therefore we rely upon Allah subhana wa
taala alone and many verses like this
that we look into the Quran and the
Sunnah of the Prophet to show the
importance of and relying upon Allah
subhana tala half of establishing the
dean half of the way to establish the
dean is to make upon Allah subhana tal
to rely upon Allah there are many smart
people on the face of Earth but they're
not obedient to Allah it's not upon upon
will that a person has a strong will
versus someone that has a weak will but
rather it's the because everything is
from Allah subh and to make in and to
return to Allah subhana tala so this is
part of the of Allah subhah tala is to
repent upon him to rely upon Him subhah
wa tala one of the things that we need
to understand as we heard in the verse
earlier that is one of the conditions of
IM for someone to be a believer he has
to rely upon
Allah if you believe in Allah then rely
upon him how can someone believe in
Allah with his perfect names and
attributes that one of which
is there's no walking creature unless
Allah subhana T is in full control over
it so how can then a person does not
repent does not rely upon Allah subhana
tal as a result of this you know when
ibraim when he was thrown into the fire
you know and he
said he
said Allah suffice for me and he's the
best for me to rely upon Allah subh
saved them from the fire and the prophet
Alat wasam he said it when the people
said that the people gathered against
you so he said
so as a result of that Allah gave them
Victory so and the same thing if
something bad happens to a person if you
complain to people and your heart is
attached to people and you want the help
from the people it's never going to be
fixed but if you rely upon Allah subhana
wa ta'ala while taking the means very
soon Allah subhana T would releve you
from it and this is meaning
that he mentioned one of of the
important things to realize and to
understand is the importance of taking
the means taking the means is such an
important thing because it's related to
and actually to rely upon Allah subhana
wa tala it can never be perceived
without the means what does it mean to
rely upon Allah subhana wa tala that
means you're doing
something actions are being taken are
being done so that means means are being
taken and therefore you rely upon Allah
subhana wa tala so for someone to say
that does it mean that we take the means
or not if you say that that means a
person is not doing to start with
relying upon Allah subhana has to be
while taking the means as Allah
says it's walk on the land eat from the
provisions of Allah every command from
Allah t for us to do these are means and
when a man came to the prophet am he
said to him oh prophet of
Allah should should I tie the cam and
rely upon Allah subhana wa tala
or or let it set it free and I Rely Upon
Allah subh that he would bring it for me
because the camels they don't really
care about its owner it would just leave
so the prophet
said tie your camo and rely upon Allah
subhana tala and often times people men
this evidence when it comes to taking
the means yes you take the means because
you're you're insane if you don't take
means right there's a question to your
own intellect if you take the means but
then we have to be warned because some
people they rely so much on the means
you don't rely upon the means you take
the means there's a major difference
between taking the means and relying
upon the means you rely upon Allah while
you're taking the means because Allah
subhana T if he will for it not to
happen it would never happen so this
is when im he was asked about some of
the people those who claim that they are
they make Allah subhana waala and they
say we will sit and our risk the
provisions is from Allah subhana tala he
says this is an evil statement there's
no such a thing you know this is insane
actually for a person to say that and
Allah subhana commanded us
if Allah if you're called for the day of
for theah you go for the of Allah for
the and you leave the but then after
that after the Salah spread on the on
the face of Earth and seek Provisions
from Allah subhana wa tala so again
taking the means does not contradict the
fact that the person is perfectly
relying upon Allah subhana tala and we
have in the
prophet the best examples some of these
things as we as we say these Deeds how
to uh adapt them in our life how to
adopt them in our life how to be upon
them in our life is to follow the
example of the Prophet is not just words
for people to interpret it the way that
they like otherwise they would follow of
either extreme one way or the other so
the prophet took the means in his in his
actions and
his and his heart is fully relying upon
Allah subhah wa tala and then when it
comes to relying upon other individual
uals or creation of Allah subhana wa
tala from the a perspective if someone
rely upon another human being in which
it's something that only Allah subhana
wa tala is able to do uh you know then
this is a matter of shik if someone rely
upon a dead person you know or when it
comes to risk protection all these types
of things this is Major sh for a person
to rely upon them if someone would rely
upon another individual someone that has
power king or something like this by
pushing away harm uh and he is relying
with his heart upon this this is a minor
one a minor sh but when a person uh you
know rely upon another human
being uh upon something that the human
being is able to do it's permissible
like for example you you ask someone to
do something for you even though it's
best to stay away from this but it's
something that people interact with one
another that are in need of one another
this is how Allah subhana T created them
so this is something to reflect upon
there are so many different benefits as
a result of aul you will have
sufficiency in all things you will be
helped by Allah subhana tala the the
text in this subject so many you know
and one of the beautiful verses that
Allah subh
said or prophet of Allah suffice for you
is Allah subhana wa tala and also he
suffice for those who follow you among
the Believers so this Ayah is an
evidence that the more the person
follows the prophet the more that Allah
subhana will suffice for them and the of
the
Prophet if you rely upon Allah subhana T
the way it ought to be Allah subhana T
will provide for you like he provides
for the
birds it leaves in the morning empty
stomach comes back at the end of the day
full stomach and the birds as we know
they don't quit moving the whole day but
they're content they're relying upon
Allah subhana tala they're not panicking
so when it comes to Provisions risk
don't don't worry Don't Panic just take
the means and your heart is content
relying upon Allah subhana wa ta'ala
because he is the provider subhah wa
tala Allah subh love the people those
who rely upon him to enter the J of
Allah subhana tala when the prophet
wasam talked about the the those who
would enter the the 70,000 those who
would enter J without Reckoning without
he mentioned their characteristics is
what they rely upon the Lord they reach
that high level of perfecting their and
Reliance upon Allah subhana tala to be
protected
Froman to when a person leaves his home
for example he say
whoever says this when he leaves his
home as the prophet he said it will be
said to
him that means you're sufficed for
you're being protected and thean turns
away from you because you because you
relied upon Allah subhana tala the
contentment the determination to do
actions whoever rely upon Allah subhana
you're relying upon the almighty subhana
tala the most wise
subhana tala and that's why the you know
the statement of which is a beautiful
one you know Allah subhana tala only
commanded us to do things that is in our
capacity so if you rely upon Allah
subhana tala if he commanded you to move
a mountain from its place you would move
it from its place but he did not command
us to do so that means rely upon Allah
subhana wa tala to be upon what Allah
subhana tala want us there are certain
things that
negates like for example being pessimist
which which is sh to see an owl to see
something or that that makes you turned
off or something bad is going to happen
because I saw this today or so this is
against this is a matter of sh
associating partners with Allah going to
the fortune tellers to the sorcerers
those who claim to know the Unseen this
is a sign that a person does not believe
in Allah subhana tala does not rely upon
Allah subhana tala hanging amulets and
these types of things that a person
would think that it's protects him from
harm or from gin or
so as the prophet he said whoever hangs
on something he will be led to rely upon
it and if you if you if you let to rely
upon a thread what would a thread do to
you rely upon Allah subhah wa ta'ala and
that's why when also people do not take
the means and they don't take the means
of Provisions saying that I would make
Salah and make VI and there's no mean
needs for me to seek Provisions or to
work and things like this the prophet
said for one of you to take some to cut
some wood and to carry it on his back is
better for him than to ask people
whether they give him or not so a person
has to have to make Allah taking
medicine seeking means of
cure as the prophet he said take
medicine oh of Allah subhah wa tala with
the intention also to worship Allah
subhah wa tala
and therefore the early generations of
Islam they understood that very well and
how to be among those who make upon
allaha when the prophet was in the cave
with Abu Bakr and Abu Bak he said to the
prophet the this Believers if one of
them looked down on towards his foot he
would see us so the prophet he
said what do you think oh Abu Bakr about
two people Allah subhana tala is is
their third and you see in that story
also the prophet took all the means
going south instead of North taking
someone to show the way and all of these
things and when they took all the means
and they went to the cave Allah subhana
T protected them he's the messenger of
Allah so and so many different things
that you would see in the Sunnah of the
Prophet that gives this meaning we
cannot really fulfill this subject its
rights but it's something that is
essential part of our Deen we need to
learn it we need to be patiently
learning how to make and relying upon
Allah subhana tala with knowledge with
while taking the means to attain what's
with Allah subhah wa tala we ask Allah
subhana wa tala to make us among those
who rely upon him we ask Allah subhana
wa tala that he makes us perfect these
actions done by the heart and to make
that knowledge something that would Aid
us and help us to achieve the success in
this life and Hereafter not to make it
against us in the day of judgment
