Any decision that we're making,
right,
should I
buy this or that? Should I eat this
or that? Any decision that we're making, whether
it is a small
day to day decision or a big one,
there's always that fear we have that things
may not go as planned,
or the decision that we're making might be
the wrong choice.
Right?
So to put your trust in Allah is
to acknowledge that I don't know everything. I
don't know the future.
I can't foresee everything. Right?
And
I do my best
knowing what I know,
and I put my trust in Allah that
he will take care of the results, and
whatever that happens, insha'Allah,
there will be something good in it.
Tawakkul doesn't mean
that you become lazy
and that you don't do anything and you
don't put in your effort.
Like, for example, if you're cooking and you're
like, yeah, you know what? I don't know
whether I should put salt or not. Whether
I should, you know, put this
these spices or
not. You know, I just put my trust
in Allah and whatever happens, happens.
No. You have to do your part. Right?
You have to know what you're cooking,
how much you're putting, what you are putting.
But
if if your fear and your anxiety is
getting out of
control, that you you just want perfection.
And out of this fear that it's the
the results are not going to be perfect.
You are panicking, you are getting overly worried
and concerned,
that is not healthy.
Right?
So you counter your,
fears
and your worries
with what? With knowing that Allah is there.
When you reach your limit,
you know that you have reached your limit,
but Allah
is there to take care of your affairs.
