Years ago, we were riding a we're getting
a car with our teacher, Sheikh Ahmed. And
Sheikh Ahmed, he was struggling to put on
his seat belt. And this one brother, he
was like, Sheikh, why do you wear a
seatbelt? You should trust in Allah. And the
Sheikh was like, you're crazy.
That's not what trusting in Allah means.
And I see that a lot with people.
They think that to make any effort
somehow weakens our trust in Allah, but actually
trusting in Allah means to take all of
the precautions we can and then to leave
it to Allah. So right here behind me,
entering into Granada, you see that wall. Most
old major Muslim cities you find those kind
of walls. In Medina, in Cairo, Babbazuwel and
Kuwait, because those walls were meant to protect
the people. Inside, most of them were Muslims.
So they took
all
the necessary precautions as the Quran says
and then left it to Allah. So
trusting in Allah should not be used as
an alibi to be lazy or not to
try. It's the opposite. It should invigorate us,
encourage us to take advantage of all the
resources Allah has given us, and then leave
it to Allah.
