11. WHOEVER FEARS ALLAH, HE WILL MAKE A WAY OUT FOR HIM
I was in a difficult situation that made me distressed all the times, and I exerted all my power to think of every possible way to rid these worries and concerns but without any joy! I then recalled the verse,
“Whoever fears Allah, He will make for him a way out.” [al-Talaq (65):2]
and so I knew that fearing Allah is the means whereby every concern and distress is removed. 1 acted upon the Verse and fulfilled the requirements of fearing Allah and so I found a way out.
No person should ever rely on, or think of anything except having obedience to Allah and acting upon His Commands as this is the only means whereby hardship is lifted. It is even more pleasant when such ease comes from a means that a person never had thought of despite how resourceful he happens to be; just as the verse, says,
“And He will provide for him from where he does not expect.” [al-Talaq (65):3]
A person who fears Allah should know that Allah is sufficient for him and hence he should not let his heart be attached to the means and causes, for Allah, Most High, said,
“And whoever relies upon Allah—then He is sufficient for him.” al-Talaq (65):3]
