﴿فَسَتَذْكُرُونَ مَا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ ۚ وَأُفَوِّضُ أَمْرِي إِلَى اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَصِيرٌ بِالْعِبَادِ﴾
And you will remember what I [now] say to you, and I entrust my affair to Allah. Indeed, Allah is Seeing of [His] servants." (Quran 40:44)
This life is full of challenges,
and depending on the phases we are going through in our lives, some trials can
be more difficult than others. Sometimes we must face some of the toughest
situations, which may seem impossible to get through, like those that come
prior to a major change in our lives, like an obstacle in the way of our
lifelong dream. Enduring these challenges involve lots of anxiety, worry, and
most notably, lots of thinking. Consequently, our minds can be
preoccupied with never-ending thoughts of how to resolve these issues, how to
conquer the challenge, how to achieve our goals. Ultimately, these endless
thoughts can greatly affect our state of mind causing constant distress,
eventually jeopardizing our happiness.
These situations can be perceived
as a test of faith. We can create extensive plans of how to achieve our goals, overcome
our challenges, or illustrate our ideal future. But, there is only so much we
can do. We can plan and work hard to all that is in our hands. Yet eventually,
comes worry, fear of whether or not it will happen, or how? How will our dreams
come true, in the most rational way? At this point, we must realize that we
are approaching our matters incorrectly. We are lacking the most essential way
of facing any situation in our life. We need to realize that we can only overcome our obstacles by having faith in Him. Trusting Allah.
Believing, not only by reason, but from deep inside that all of our matters are
in His hands. He has already written for what is best for us, and He plans for
us the best possible plans. Thus, we must trust Him and seek His help. Why?
Simply because He is the only One that is well aware of what we have been
through, how we really are feeling towards something, what we wish for, what is
resting inside our hearts, what is preoccupying our minds, He is the “Knower of
All”. As long as you confirm your faith in Him, trust Him, and submit to His
control over your matters, He will provide you with the guidance you need to
fulfill your goals. He is the “Perfectly Wise” and will arrange matters for you
in the finest manner and He is the “All Powerful” and can grant you the
impossible, as long as it is the best for you. [1]

﴿ قُلْ مَن يَرْزُقُكُم مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ أَمَّن يَمْلِكُ السَّمْعَ وَالْأَبْصَارَ وَمَن يُخْرِجُ الْحَيَّ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ وَيُخْرِجُ الْمَيِّتَ مِنَ الْحَيِّ وَمَن يُدَبِّرُ الْأَمْرَ ۚ فَسَيَقُولُونَ اللَّهُ ۚ فَقُلْ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ﴾
Say, "Who provides for you from the heaven and the earth? Or who controls hearing and sight and who brings the living out of the dead and brings the dead out of the living and who arranges [every] matter?" They will say, “Allah," so say, "Then will you not fear Him?" (Quran 10:31)
The most reasonable way to
approach any situation is to begin by establishing our trust in Allah.
“Recognizing His Oneness in divinity and worship, for He is the one Who sends
down water from the sky, splits the earth with His power and will allow things
to grow from it. He is the One who has
granted us from endless blessings including our own sight and hearing, and can
likewise grant us with many more gifts and deprive us similarly from anything
on this earth. He has the ultimate power to be capable of bringing life to
death and death to life.”[2]
He encompasses all power and control in this world, thus He is the most capable
of resolving our issues, easing our struggles, granting us success after
hardship, and placing us in the most optimum situations. Allah is our Creator,
and He loves His creation, He will dispose of our affairs in the most excellent
ways only to protect us and provide us with what is best for us.
Rely on Allah, trust Him, and
recognize that all of your matters are in His hands. It might take some time,
plenty of patience, some twists and turns, and yes, He might push you down to
the ground before lifting you back up, only because He loves you and so that
you may learn to appreciate the blessings you have been gifted with. And as
life goes on we may have to face that our plans may have not been completely fulfilled,
perhaps our lives may have taken an unexpected turn. But in the end, we must
come to realize that things only happen in a way that is best for us, because
He wants us to live in comfort, in content, in happiness, and sooner or later
we will realize that everything turned out in the best way possible.
