To the truthful!
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy upon him) said,“Reliance upon Allah is half the religion, and the other half is turning to Him. Indeed, religion is seeking the help of Allah and worshiping Him.”
“Reliance upon Allah is half the religion, and the other half is turning to Him. Indeed, religion is seeking the help of Allah and worshiping Him.”
Reliance upon Allah: is seeking help from Him, and turning to Him: is the worship
Reliance upon Allah increases with the increase of faith and decreases with its decrease. He who does not rely upon his Lord has no faith.
{And upon Allah rely, if you s hould be believers.}
[Surat al - Mā’idah: 23]
Allah Almighty provides sufficiency for us as long as we rely upon Him.
{And whoever relies upon Allah, then He is sufficient for him.}
[Surat at - Talāq: 3]
Be sincere in your reliance upon Allah and you will get what you want, even if it was something great. The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said:
“If only you rely on Allah the way you should, He will provide for you as He provides for birds; they set out hungry in the morning and return with full bellies in the evening.”
[Narrated by At - Tirmidhi] [Sahīh (Authentic)]
We all wish to attain a high rankin the sight of Allah Almighty in this world and in the Hereafter. This does not actually happen except to those who sincerely rely upon their Lord.
Their hearts entertain such reliance, while their tongues utters the following words at the time of adversities,
{Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best Disposer of affairs.}
[Surat Ᾱ l - ‘Imrān: 173]
So,the greatness, miracles, and protection of Allah Almighty appear for His close servants.
{Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best Disposer of affairs . }

[Surat ĀI - ‘Imrān: 173]

{So whatever thing you have been given, it is but [for] enjoyment of the worldly life. But what is with Allah is better and more lasting for those who believe and rely upon their Lord.}
