Longing..


Abdullah ibn Mushabbib al-Qahtāni

Belief in this name increases a person in faith and longing to see the Beautiful Lord. The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) used to supplicate saying:

“Wa as’aluka ladhdhat an-nazhari ila wajhika wa ash-shawqa ila liqā’ika (And I ask You for the delight of looking at Your Face and the joy of meeting You).”

[Narrated by Al- Tirmidhi; Sahīh (authentic)]

Then, he becomes tranquil and content with whatever Allah predestined for him, for He only does what is wise and good for His believing servants. All His actions are beautiful, and beautiful actions only lead to what is beautiful. This is how we should trust our Lord. In a Qudsi Hadīth, Allah Almighty said:

“I am as My servant thinks of Me. If he thinks well of Me, he gets it; and if he thinks ill of Me, he gets it.”

[Narrated by Ahmad; Sahīh (authentic)]

I supplicate Allah and trust Him as much as if

I see what He will do.
