Allah: The Sole Title For The Lord That Fashioned Everything Allah is a name that is only for Allah Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, so worship Him (Alone) and be constant and patient in His worship. Do you know of any who is similar to Him? (Surat Maryam: 65) Do you know anyone who is similar to Him? Do you know what that question at the end of this verse is? It is not a question that needs an answer. It is like a rhetorical question, it is a question that is used to make a point. Some scholars said the meaning of this (do you know of any similar to Him) is that there is no one other than Allah with the name Allah. The root of the name Allah Allah is derivative from the word Ilaah The root word is Ilaah, as Ibn al-Qayyim and others said. Ilaah is from Uloohiyyah (oneship). Ilaah is oneship, that is the root word of Allah. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pp0OQyOCs4
Here you are - those who argue on their behalf in [this] worldly life - but who will argue with Allah for them on the Day of Resurrection, or who will [then] be their representative? Surat An-Nisa (4:109)

Tawakkul is a vast topic and a topic desperately needed in this Ummah, especially in this day and age. Why this day and age? Because it is more of a materialistic world, especially for those who live in the west. You hear ‘Ulamaa for example who say oh they are too powerful.
The enemy is too powerful. If those same ‘Ulamaa were around the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam in their lacking of Tawakkul that they have today, they would have argued with the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam on the day of Badr and told him go back. What did the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam do?

From the signs are the night and the day, the sun and
the moon. He created the seven heavens and the seven earths.
And those within them. What is within them? Creations like the mountains and the oceans in the earth. And what is in the heavens? For example, the angels, the Bayt al-Ma’moor and everything else.
Then he added:
And what is between them (to encompass everything). Everything that is between what? Between the heavens and the earth. What we see and what we know, and that which only Allah subhaanahu wa ta’aala knows.

We spoke about many issues on Sabr and we basically said whenever one is on the guided path, he should expect hardships. Many many many years ago, I read a statement by Ibn Hazm where he said whoever thinks he will not be harmed and he is on the right path, he is crazy. If you are on the right path and you expect not to be harmed, you have lost it. That is what Ibn Hazm Rahimahullah said.
There is no Imaam that becomes an Imaam without being tested.
And We made from among them (Children of Israel), leaders, giving guidance under Our Command, when they were patient. (Surat as-Sajdah: 24)
We made from among them Imaams. When?
When they were patient. This is a giant religion that needs giants to carry it. Giants become giants after they pass tests – that is how they become giants. Every trial goes away. Clouds stream away. Trials always go away and if they do not go away, you are the one who is going to leave them, walk away and go to The Ghafoor Ar-Raheem. You are then going to go to The Ghafoor Ar-Raheem and leave them. Like some of the 'Ulamaa said, everything starts small and grows bigger, except trials. They become big and Subhan Allah as time goes by, they shrink and become smaller.

In the past, it was prolonged massacres and vicious enemies, with lack of
inspiration and optimism, that resulted in a defeatist mentality. Today, the
defeatist status is actually taught and aggressively promoted by those who claim to be Muslims. So which era is worse in this matter?

Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you? They were touched by poverty and hardship and were shaken until [even their] messenger and those who believed with him said, "When is the help of Allāh?" Unquestionably, the help of Allāh is near.
Surah Al-Baqarah, ayat 214 (2:214) of the Quran.
The Beloved Shaykh may Allah Preserve and Protect him reminds our Beloved captives and us of this Verse where Allah reminds us to be patient and steadfast in the face of hardships and challenges, as Allah will surely help us and reward us with Paradise.
Help the Dawah by sharing this reminder to your family and friends. Jazakumullahu Khayran.

And recite (O Muhammad sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) to them the story of him to whom We gave Our Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc), but he threw them away, so Shaytaan followed him up, and he became of those who went astray. And had We willed, We would surely have elevated him therewith but he clung to the earth and followed his own vain desire. So his description is the description of a dog: If you drive him
away, he lolls his tongue out, or if you leave him alone, he (still) lolls his tongue out. Such is the description of the people who reject Our Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc). So relate the stories, perhaps they may reflect. (Surat al-A’raaf: 175-176)
The likeness of those who were entrusted with the (obligation of the) Tawraah (Torah) (i.e. to obey its commandments and to practice its legal laws), but who subsequently failed in those (obligations), is as the likeness of a donkey who carries huge burdens of books (but understands nothing from them). How bad is the example (or the likeness) of people who
deny the Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, signs, revelations, etc) of Allah. And Allah guides not the people who are Dhaalimoon (polytheists, wrong doers, disbelievers, etc). (Surat alJumu’ah: 5)
