Allah Will Take Care Of Everything For You

We know that your chest is being tightened by what they are saying,
فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَكُن مِّنَ السَّاجِدِينَ
[15:98}
How should you deal with it?
Well if I go back to Revelation. I will be told how to deal with it. when people accuse you and they say things yes, you may try to clarify your name, but sometimes it’s not going to be easy, Allah Almighty says while you are dealing with it, in a beautiful way, you need to remember to declare the praise of Allah, declare the praise of your lord, and be found in prostration very often, and worship your lord until death overtakes you.

That’s an amazing teaching. that will definitely bring about Comfort. when something nasty happens tell yourself it could have been worse. when something disastrous occurs, nothing would have changed that, because it was in your destiny, but revelation will help you deal with it, what do you do declare the greatness of Allah. the other day a pen broke and I said alhamdulillah all praise is due to Allah, I’m not going to get upset that my pen broke. you know it broke in two pieces, it fell, and it was an expensive one and subhanallah, I thought to myself well my fingers not broken, my toes are not broken, my legs are not broken.

So surely if I quickly thought of that, because I know this could have been worse it would move me to say alhamdulillah, all praise is due to Allah. whereas a person who is not Guided by Revelation would get angry and upset and start screaming and yelling.
Do you know how much this pen costs?
Do you know what exactly you’ve done, or do you know what has happened, and so on unlike a Believer who takes it in his stride.

what should you say?
Alhamdulillah declare the praise of Allah. people say nasty things about you guess what? they are answerable to Allah if a person calls you a bad name, it doesn’t make you a bad person it’s them who are thinking bad so who needs the help, it’s them who need the help, perhaps pray for them.

Now this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t try to clarify things, you should in a beautiful way, you should try to guide them in a beautiful way, but sometimes you need to know, if Allah has not written that guidance for them, they won’t be guided, and sometimes it might even make matters worse.

So in the interim, don’t forget to declare the praise of Allah always, declare the praise of Allah Almighty, and always find yourself in prostration that means your five daily prayers, plus other voluntary prayers you have a problem turn to prayer, turn to Salah, offer two units of prayer find yourself in prostration and take your time and you will see how the almighty will fling open your doors, and Allah says continue to worship Allah until the day death overtakes you, or until death overtakes you.

So it’s amazing how Allah is guiding us telling us, these challenges will continue, he didn’t say they will be eradicated, he didn’t say they are going to stop, people will say nasty things about you and I, up to the last day but Allah is guiding us through Revelation to say, connect with us, understand our plan, and that’s how it should be, and this is why just before that, in one of the verses Allah almighty in suratul hijr before this verse. says,

إِنَّا كَفَيْنَاكَ الْمُسْتَهْزِئِينَ
[15:95]

We are sufficient for you against those who are mocking at you, those who scoff, those who make a joke, those who want to try to make a mockery although they won’t be able to, but we are sufficient for you don’t you believe that we are sufficient we are in control, we created you in the first place, and we are sufficient and this is why the the beautiful words

حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ
Hasbunallahu wa ni`mal Wakeel

Allah is enough for us and he is the best disposer of our affairs. that supplication is very powerful. when something happens to you, that is negative, something dramatic, something big, learn to say hasbunallahu wa ni’mal wakeel Allah is sufficient for me or for us and he is the best disposer of our affairs.
