Do we completely trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ?

The summary of the definition of absolute trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is this that after using resources one should leave its result upon Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. We should ponder! Can we do it? Is absolute trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ really found in us? Do we also trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ after using our resources? Usually whenever we have to do something very important, we first of all do planning to carry out the task, then we follow every stage of the planning, now if the result is obtained against our will, how do we feel that time? To what extent do we lose our heart? To what extent do we get disappointed? Its main reason is this that after making plans we forget one thing that there is Someone Who is more Powerful than our planning. We forget this thing that it is our job to make plans and act according to the plans, but their results are under the Absolute Power of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, that is, we get deprived of absolute trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. That’s why if we do not get good results, we feel disappointed and lose our heart, though we should have absolute trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ in every task of ours. How dangerous can it be if absolute trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is ignored can be judged by the following parable:

A thief of shroud repented of his sins in front of Sayyiduna Ba-Yazeed Bistami رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه. Sayyiduna Ba-Yazeed Bistami رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه asked him about the graves, so he replied: I have stolen shrouds from almost 1,000 graves, in which I found the faces of all the deceased not towards Qiblah except the two. So he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said: These people did not have absolute trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ for their sustenance. That’s why their faces were turned away from the Qiblah in their graves. (Minhaj-ul-‘Aabideen, pp. 106)

Dear Islamic brothers! It is a matter of thinking how dangerous it is to only consider resources everything rejecting complete trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. Therefore, try to develop absolute trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ bless us with absolute trust in Himself and enable us to perform all good deeds!
