The last blog was discussing truthfulness in trusting in Allah, the Exalted. It is important to note, trusting in Allah, the Exalted, does not mean one should abandon means, such as medicine, as a trusting muslim understands that both the means and outcome have been created and decided by Allah, the Exalted. So they use the means advised in the Holy Quran and the traditions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, and trust that Allah, the Exalted, will choose the best outcome for them in all cases.
The one who trusts in Allah, the Exalted, seeks refuge with Him knowing that nothing will occur or be accomplished unless Allah, the Exalted, so wills. He alone gives and withholds. The trusting muslim does not get annoyed or anxious when anything is withheld from them nor do they try obtaining things in a way contrary to the teachings of Holy Quran or the traditions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. This is because the level of greed does not determine whether something is given to a person or withheld from them but it is determined solely by Allah, the Exalted. The one who trusts is not the person who receives all what they desire. It is the one who trusts the choice of Allah, the Exalted, irrespective of if things occur according to their desires or not. The trusting muslim knows that they are travelling down a path which is destined and therefore cannot be changed. This truth allows them to understand that they will never obtain something until the destined time arrives. Meaning, they cannot obtain it a moment sooner or later then what Allah, the Exalted, has decided. This removes greed and anxiety from them and thus they become relaxed and content with Allah, the Exalted.
Therefore, trusting in Allah, the Exalted, leads to contentment. This person understands that whatever situation they are in was unavoidable. This is true for every passing moment. But each person has a choice whether to be obedient to Allah, the Exalted, or not. If they choose obedience to Allah, the Exalted, then there is no better situation than the situation they are currently in as Allah, the Exalted, chooses the best for His servants. But if they choose disobedience then they have no one else to blame except themselves when they face the consequences of their choice. The one who trusts understands this and remains grateful to Allah, the Exalted, for guiding them from one good situation to another even if they do not observe the goodness in each situation immediately.
