Fulfill Your Actions by Concealing Them

Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says:

“Seek help in fulfilling your needs with concealing them”. [Hadith] When you want to do something, do it without letting anyone know. People may envy you, and then your plans may not work, or you will feel bad.

Therefore, when you are to do things, this is a beautiful advice from our Holy Prophet ﷺ. Because mankind is with ego. Even Muslims follow their egos, and those who are not Muslim obey them totally. Therefore, no need to talk about things you want to do around people. Some things are not to talk about. They have to be done in secret. Allah ﷻ will help us, and our work will go smoothly.

Otherwise, when you tell people “I am going to do so and so”, you do it but it doesn’t work out. Most of the time, something blocks you, or someone does something directly against you and your plans don’t work out. Or he feels envy and it doesn’t work out too.

Therefore, everything our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said is beneficial to us. It is the advice we must follow. The things he ﷺ said are beneficial to humanity. But humanity doesn’t follow our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, of course. More people follow their own egos and desires. With that arrogance and egotism, they brag and say “I will do so and so”, but then nothing happens. And then they get surprised why it didn’t work out.

May Allah ﷻ protect us from the evil of our egos. Because people now harm themselves the most. When they don’t listen and don’t accept the advice, they are in loss themselves. May Allah ﷻ make us among those who hear and listen to Him ﷻ and follow Him ﷻ insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
