having plenty of wealth and nice food they keep staring at the wealth of others. Despite having good houses [places to live] they try to seize the bungalows and houses of other people. Sometimes they commit robbery and theft for taking hold of someone’s possessions and sometimes by uttering threats they take hold of the possessions of others and frighten them. The main reason behind all these is, lack of absolute trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. Whereas, it should be sufficient for a person that whatever is recorded in his destiny will be surely given to him. The Lord عَزَّوَجَلَّ Who can give food to the worm living in stones, will also create resources for my stomach. Pious bondmen of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ feel hesitant to trust people let alone snatching their possessions.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa’eed Kharaaz رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: I reached a jungle, but I had no travel provisions for journey. When I felt extremely hungry I saw a colony at a distance. I became happy, then I pondered over myself like this, I have trusted others and tried to attain peace from others, therefore I swore that I would not enter the colony until I would be carried there. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said: I dug a ditch and covered my body up to my chest into its sand. At midnight, a loud voice was heard. O the inhabitants of the colony! The saint of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has hidden himself in the sand; go to him. People came and took me out of the sand and carried me to the colony. (Ihya-ul-‘Uloom, vol. 4, pp. 33)

Dear Islamic brothers! Just ponder! Sayyiduna Abu Sa’eed Kharaaz رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه had such a firm belief and trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ that he considered the act of being happy due to seeing a colony out of hunger, to be contrary to absolute trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. This great rank of absolute trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ was his attribute. We should completely trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ after finding a source. Having the attribute of placing absolute trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ not only makes a person stay safe from the countless nastiness and foulness of this world, but it is also highly effective for his success in the Hereafter. Let’s listen to a parable about it.

Absolute trust in Allah is the best thing

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Bin Salam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has said: Sayyiduna Salman Farsi  رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ said to me: Let’s [you and me] make this vow that whoever out of us passes away first, will come in the dream and will reveal his condition to
