The Greatest Secret to this Life

February 22, 2017

❝Know that Allah does not do to His slaves except what is good for them; be it something they love or something they loath (a hardship).

And Allāh does not remove a decree of hardship from a person until he is pleased with it. When the person becomes pleased with it, Allāh removes it, and it is perhaps for this reason that a period of hardship might extend [because a person is not pleased with Allāh’s Decree].

Thus, whoever wants relief from a hardship, then let him be pleased with Allāh’s decree—the good and the bad, for there is no greater act of worship than submitting to the Command (Decree) of Allāh, irrespective of whether it is sweet or bitter.❞

-—  Sh. Moḥammed at-Tuwaijirī, in: ‘Kitāb at-Tawḥīd: Asmāʾ Allāh fī ḍawʾ al-Qurʾān wa as-Sunnah’.
