﴿...حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ ﴾
…"Sufficient for us is Allah, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs." (Quran 3:173)
The roughest point of our
struggles, the time we critically need someone to run to, someone to lean on,
someone to help us. Usually we are blessed with a loved one that is there for us,
but what about when no one understands us? No one believes that we can
accomplish our dreams? No one recognizes that our walk on the straight path is
acceptable? No one wants to offer help? No one can provide us with a solution?
When things are out of control? When life is just too much to handle?
Consider the noble Prophets, those who endured much tougher challenges to convey the message of Allah. While being thrown into the depths of a raging fire, uttering the words, 'Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best Disposer of affairs' saved Prophet Ibrahim from being harmed by flames that instantly cooled down. Likewise, courage and confidence that Allah
was enough for him and his army grant Prophet Mohamed (ﷺ) victory in the battle of Uhud [1]. Thus, we should follow the lead of our Prophets and appreciate the presence of Allah in our lives. Plausibly,
trusting Allah as the best Disposer of our affairs will enable us to
rest assured that we are in the safest position possible and everything
will workout perfectly in the end, only because we are under His
protection. Appreciate His presence, embrace His protection, seek His help, follow His guidance, and simply trust Him.
Attest to your faith, recognize
Him as your Lord, and speak the words of a believer [2];
that He is enough for you. You are
nothing without Him, regardless of the world around you and what it beholds; He
is more than enough for you. Succinctly, He has written every detail of your
life, and planned your life according to certain factors. Allah is well aware
of what is best for you, thus He will take control of your affairs in the
perfect manner. He is your confidant who
will understand your secrets, He is your counselor who will listen to your
complaints, He is your advisor who will provide you with guidance, and He is
your only companion that will remain with you throughout it all.

﴿ قَالَ كَذَٰلِكَ قَالَ رَبُّكَ هُوَ عَلَيَّ هَيِّنٌ وَقَدْ خَلَقْتُكَ مِن قَبْلُ وَلَمْ تَكُ شَيْئًا ﴾
[An angel] said, "Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, for I created you before, while you were nothing.' “ (Quran 19:9)
Lean on His support and face the
world knowing that He is watching over you and He will lift you up when you
fall. From dust, He created the most complex of life forms, the most elaborate
puzzle, in perfection; He created you from nothing, simply and easily. Nothing
is impossible for Allah, to Him your troubles are uncomplicated and when the
time is right, He will provide you with the solution that will end your
struggles. He will ease your struggles, heal your pains, and lessen your
worries; because He has no limit. With absolutely no trouble, He can
straightforwardly resolve your issues; therefore have faith in Allah and trust
Him and one day He will grant you victory against your challenges.
