Surrender to Allah He is the best protector

Whatever happened in our lives, what we got and what we didn’t get — everything was written by Allah Almighty. We tried and worked hard, but some things still could not be achieved, so I am satisfied with that. Because we believe that whatever I got was written in our destiny, and whatever I didn’t get was not written in our favour at all. Surrender to Allah He is the best protector

I have trusted Allah, and when a servant entrusts everything to Allah, Allah takes care of all his affairs.

If something is between my two teeth and Allah has written that I will not get it, then I will never get it. And if something is hidden under two big mountains and Allah has written it in my destiny, then it will be with me in every situation. Surrender to Allah He is the best protector

There are some people around you who are beset by the biggest misfortunes, but not a single word of complaint about Allah comes out of their mouths. They never ask Allah, “Why did this happen to me?” — rather, they always live in regret, repentance, and fear of Allah. Surrender to Allah He is the best protector

They believe that whatever Allah does, He does for the better. And this faith gives them the strength that ordinary people do not have.

When a person believes in Allah’s destiny, his heart is at peace because he knows that:

Whatever happened was meant to happen.

Whatever did not happen was not meant to happen anyway.

What was received was Allah’s grace.

And what was not received was Allah’s wisdom.

This very belief protects a person from doubt, protects him from disappointment, and gives him the wealth of patience.

When a person believes in destiny, he surrenders himself to Allah. And this submission and satisfaction become the means of tasting the sweetness of faith. Surrender to Allah He is the best protector

Advice from the Companions and the Righteous

When Hazrat Ubadah bin Al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) was in his final days, he advised his son:

“O my son! You will never taste the true sweetness of faith until you are convinced that whatever afflicts you could not have escaped you, and whatever you did not get was not in your destiny anyway.”

Hazrat Umar bin Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) says:

“My heart is at peace because I know that whatever is in my destiny will always be with me, and whatever is not for me will never be with me.”

Another companion said:

“Even if something is between my two teeth and it is not in my destiny, I will not get it. And even if something is hidden under two mountains and it is in my destiny, I will definitely get it.”

Belief in Destiny: The Origin of Monotheism

Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

“Whoever denies Destiny, it is as if he has weakened Monotheism.”

Because belief in Destiny is actually belief in the attributes of Allah — Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise, and All-Powerful, and all decisions are in accordance with His knowledge, wisdom, and power.

When a person tries to become “God”

We often get worried because we start making decisions ourselves, thinking to ourselves, “Why did this happen?”, “It shouldn’t have happened like this,” and “If I had done this, it would have happened like this” — all these thoughts are tantamount to objecting to Allah’s decision.

When we try to make decisions by putting ourselves in Allah’s place, we put ourselves in trouble.

Therefore, the solution is to accept Allah as our Lord and trust in His destiny completely.

In the light of the Quran, Allah Almighty says in verse 22 of Surah Luqman:

“And whoever submits to Allah and does good, then he has grasped the strongest handhold.”

That is, whoever submits himself to Allah, Allah will make his affairs right.

The advice of the Prophet ﷺ

Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said that one day I was riding with the Prophet ﷺ when he placed his hand on my shoulder and said:

“O boy! I will teach you some words:

Remember Allah, and He will remember you. Know Allah, and you will find Him with you. When you need to ask, ask only from Allah. And know that if the whole world were to gather to benefit you, it could not do you any good unless Allah wills. And if the whole world were to harm you, it could not do you any harm unless Allah wills. Surrender to Allah He is the best protector

The pen has written, and the scriptures have dried up.”

The conclusion

So, O servant! Give your worries, sorrows, and anxieties to Allah. Allah is listening to everything you say and knows every tear in every eye, every heartbeat, and every prayer. Surrender to Allah He is the best protector END

Believe in destiny, and be content with Allah in every situation of life — this is real happiness; this is real success.
