*   Contentment is to be pleased despite not having day-to-day items.^[1]

*   Now when turning our attention to reliance, there are three levels to this:

1.   Reliance upon Allah

2.   Accepting His commands

3.   Leaving all one’s affairs to Him.^[2]

*   To be content and patient upon worldly things is good, but having enthusiasm concerning matters of the hereafter is superior. Do not be content upon reaching any level in the religion; try and progress further.^[3]
