Choose the Best for Me

A Du’a of our Holy Prophet ﷺ is:

“Allahumma khir li wakhtar li”, “Choose the best for me so that it is good”. It is unclear what is good and what is not good for mankind. You often think something is good, but the result of it is not good. And when you think something is not good, it turns out to be good. Therefore, may Allah ﷻ show the good for us and choose the good for us. We don’t know. What we see in front of us may cheat us.

Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla is, “A’lamu l-A’limeen”, He ﷻ is the Most Knowing of all knowing. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla knows the best for you. Therefore, we should leave our all to Allah ﷻ. When we trust in Allah ﷻ, Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla gives the best for us. Do not ever assume the choice of your ego to be good. Always ask for the pleasure and help of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla, thus you will always remember Allah ﷻ and make Dhikr of Allah ﷻ. ‘ ’, ‘So remember Me; I will remember you.’ (Qur’ān 02:152). “Make Dhikr of Me”. To make Dhikr means to remember. Remember either with your heart or with your tongue and say, “I am doing this work, for Allah ﷻ has chosen it for my good insha’Allah” and do that work.

It is important to always remember Allah ﷻ, to believe in Allah ﷻ as means for everything and ask for help from Allah ﷻ. This is the best and the most beneficial thing for people. It is good. Even if you don’t see its goodness, when you remember Allah ﷻ and ask for help from Allah ﷻ, it is certainly good for you. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla writes your rewards according to your belief and according to your remembrance of Him ﷻ. And when you see something as evil, it will turn out to be good. May He ﷻ always remind us to remember Him ﷻ and ask for help from Him ﷻ insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
