A‘ūdhu Billāhi Mina sh-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 36:82). ‘Innamā ‘Amruhu~ ‘Idhā ‘Arāda Shay’āan ‘An Yaqūla Lahu Kun Fayakūn’, ‘His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, “Be,” and it is.’ Everything is in the Hand of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. He ﷻ does whatever He ﷻ wants. And nothing that He ﷻ doesn’t want happens.

We live in the world of tests. Therefore, this is our belief. May Allah ﷻ give us all goodnesses insha’Allah. Because what He ﷻ says happens insha’Allah. The word of Allah ﷻ will be revived and upheld insha’Allah.

Different things happen every day in this world. None of them can happen without the will of Allah ﷻ. Allah ﷻ is powerful over everything. Allah ﷻ does things that are impossible according to people’s minds. And He ﷻ may not do what people think will happen.

We must submit to the will of Allah ﷻ. Submission to Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is important. People who submit themselves attain goodness. Who don’t submit don’t attain goodness. And nothing they do brings benefit. Therefore, this is what’s important. Obeying Allah ﷻ and carrying out Allah’s ﷻ orders while we live in this world - this is submission.

Otherwise, if people say “I like this. I don’t like that” - the shaytan doesn’t like anything. The job of shaytan is to mislead people from the right way, to make them forget Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and to make them think that whatever they do is from their own skill. That doesn’t bring benefit to people; it brings harm.

Therefore, we should not give much importance to worldly matters. Worldly matters are a test. Insha’Allah Muslims and Mu’mins will pass this test with the permission of Allah ﷻ.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
