Our story today is the story of trust. How do I trust God? And what role does it play in my life? If you knew Allah was taking care of you right now, as you watch this video, without using the details of how and to what extent behind the scenes, how would you feel? Allah subhanaw taala our man our pain, and he will do with and work he is always planning better for His servants than they plan for themselves. Allah is taking care of you more than you take care of yourself. You will not always understand how Allah's wisdom works, or his plan, or his power, or his knowledge or his wisdom, but you need to trust in something in order to get through this life and there is nothing more

00:01:07--> 00:01:50

reasonable, more intuitive and more powerful and liberating than trusting in Allah subhanho wa taala, the creator and maintainer of all things are Katha Billahi Joaquina ALLAH is sufficient, as he were killed as an entity to take you to dispose of your affairs and to put your trust in to take care of you. And the happiest of people generally speaking, are those who trust in God the most and properly, fully, comprehensively that divorce that car accident, that loss, that difficulty, that university exam that you failed, that uncertainty of the future, and the test of your children or your marriage, you put your trust in Allah subhana wa Tada and He will guide you to what's best for

00:01:50--> 00:02:24

you even if you don't see how at that time, even if you don't understand it, or you may even think it's something bad for you. Allah Subhana Allah is telling you perhaps it is actually good for you. In the end, you don't know but you must trust. Who do you trust you trust in Allah, Allah who we are level we're into law to Allah moon. trust in Allah means you rely upon him. You trust in Him, you assume good at him that he's always planning what's best for you. He will never wronged you, He will never treat you with injustice. He will never treat any of his creation with any kind of unfairness. What a lovely model, mocha had one a year to work Golan Allah for her husband, whoever puts their

00:02:24--> 00:02:59

trust in Allah, Allah will suffice you and take care of you. But most importantly, when you put your trust in Allah, a lot of people misunderstand. They assume this means before you go through something before you start something, you're going to put your trust in Allah and you're going to receive a specific outcome and when the outcome does not come your way, you're no longer a trusting you no longer are happy or something went wrong. Part of trusting in a law means you accept the outcome of the matters as well, that you accept the decree that comes to you. That's real trust in God. And that's the real trust. That's a real test of your Tawakoni your trust. You can't sit back

00:03:00--> 00:03:44

and not study for your exam, not work for your income. You need to do what you need to do you need to do your part and leave the rest to Allah subhanho wa Taala but trust in Allah is to believe in and be content with everything that comes your way to know that there is a veteran plan that there is a wisdom in this perhaps reflect on some of the lessons of the past. There was a mistake that you made, learn from it and move on utilize those lessons and those wisdoms and move forward with some strength and trust in Allah. Real trust is tested in times of major and minor difficulty and ease. For example, the pandemic the global pandemic of 2020 and 2021, for instance, is a real opportunity

00:03:44--> 00:04:25

to see how much people are trusting in Allah subhanho wa Taala and that is a test of faith. And you cannot expect that you're living in this world knowing that it is a test and then not be tested for your feet. A house even NASA use Roku or Yahoo or hula you afternoon. Allah tells us do people expect to be left alone to say I believe in God, meaning I passed my test, I believe and then not be tested for their claim for their faith. This is the real test. This is the real trust. We ask Allah subhanaw taala to make us amongst Animoto Akhirin, those who put their trust in Allah subhanaw taala the more you trust in a law, the less fear you have of worldly matters. The more you trust in Allah,

00:04:25--> 00:05:00

the less fear you have of future uncertainties and anxieties. The more trust you have in a law, the less fear that you generally have, even if you find yourself facing a pride of lions, even if you find yourself in the belly of a whale, even if you find yourself at the coast of a sea with your enemy behind you for your trust in Allah subhanaw taala and accept the outcome as well. There is some greater plan for you some greater wisdom. If you do not know the realities and the knowledge of the Unseen then you must trust in something and as you don't have access to that knowledge you can't trust only in you

00:05:00--> 00:05:10

yourself, you must trust in Allah subhanahu wa to Allah. May Allah Subhana Allah grant us that trust and optimism and a good assumption of him and the ability to get through our trials alone them
