In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
It is only Allah who deserves all praise and is capable of attending to all complaints. It is only Him you must beseech to remove your misfortunes. Pray to Him during the night with submission and humbleness and request Him to make your affairs easy for you. He says, <Is not He (better than your gods) Who responds to the distressed one. When he calls Him.> (Soorah An-Naml 27:62)
Put your trust in the Omnipotent Lord and take refuge with Him with a humble heart, He will open doors of His mercy for you.
Fudayl ibn ‘Iyaad said, “If you lose hope in all people and you do not ask anything from them, your Lord will give you all that you want,”
Whoever leaves his affairs to the hands of Allah will achiever what he aspires : Always recite the prayer of Prophet Yoonus (a.s) <None has the right to be worshipped except You(O Allah)Glorified(and exalted) are You (above all that (evil) they associate with You)! Truly, I have been of the wrongdoers.> [Soorah Al-Anbiya 21:87]
The scholar said, “No one in distress recites this prayer except that Allah gives him relief from his distress.”
Ibn Al-Qayyim said, “it has been tested that whoever says: “Verily distress has seized me and You are the most merciful of all those who show mercy!” seven times Allah relieves him of his distress! Place then yourself under the protection of Allah, depend upon Him, submit your affairs to Him and ask Him for relief. Try to supplicate in the most appropriate periods like during prostration and the last hour of the night. Do not feel uneasy if your supplications have not been answered, and do not lose hope of Allah’s mercy even though the period of afflictions may seem long, for relief is near, and continue to pray to Allah. Also know that when Allah afflicts you no one except Him is capable of removing that affliction for He does whatever He wills. If your provision seems delayed do a lot of istighfar (seeking forgiveness), for misdeeds necessitate punishment; and if it does not seem that your supplications are having any impact, then examine yourself, for it may be that you have not been sincere in your repentance. Endeavor also, to give charity to the needy, for charity prevents and removes afflictions. However, if your affliction is removed, give a lot of thanks and praise to your Lord and know that a false sense of safety is a big trial. Allah says, <Say: “Nothing shall ever happen to us except what Allah has ordained for us. He is our Protector” And in Allah let believers put their trust.> [Soorah At-Taubah 9:51) No condition is permanent. Fortunate is he who is always God-conscious. Fear Allah in any condition you may find yourself. You can do nothing to prevent what has been destined to happen, as you do nothing to attain what ahs not been pre-ordained. The ability to choose and control is with Allah alone and His choice for his slave is better for him that his choice for himself.
A wise man asked, “What is wealth? He replied, “Fewness of one’s mundane desires and one’s contentment with what suffices him.” Shurayh said, “A slave will not be afflicted by a trial except that he finds three blessings therein,
1) That the trial has nothing to do with his religion,
2) That trail was not bigger than it is, and
3) That Allah gives him patience to bear it.”
