All trust belongs to Allah

Even though I don't get everything I ask, I still thank Allah, because He only gives that which benefits us. He withholds for good reasons not known to us. He is the creator of all that exists. The past, present and future are merely a glimpse into His eyes. Everything He does, its is precisely planned and in harmony with all His creation.

He is not subjected to the limitations that us humans have. No physical or spiritual boundaries prevent Allah from doing anything, yet His creation and the created things have limitations. They cannot create anything expect what Allah has allowed to happen. For example, humans are not creators, they are reproducers. Everything from hair color, eye size, intelligence, bone shape, facial features, skin color, teeth size, odor; all of these are millions of intricate processes that happen without any human intervention. All of this process was planned by the almighty Allah. Furthermore, we humans have no control over our body. We think we do, but one defective cell can render us disabled.

When Allah says he is the creator, he creates from nothing. And nothing has no intelligence or any power to come into existence, unless there is a creator who has wisdom, power and knowledge to create things from nothing. And Allah is the supreme in glory and might. He says be and it is!

If you cannot see his power and wisdom, look around and wonder, continue to look and learn, and the more you learn the more confused you become. That is the wisdom and power of Allah. Everything has been designed with perfect measure as stated in the Glorious Qur'an: "Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion upon His Servant that he may be to the worlds a Warner. He to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and who has not taken a son and has not had a partner in dominion and has created each thing and determined it with [precise] determination. [Qur'an 25:1-2]"

You see, every technological innovation has an operating manual. Our way of life also has a manual; the Glorious Qur'an, and the Sunnah. As prophet Muhammad Sal Allahu Alihi Wa Salam said: "I am leaving amongst you two things, the Qur'an and my Sunnah, if you follow them you will never go astray."

It is therefore unjust to his glory to not trust and rely on His plan. It is obligatory to continuously thank Him for the countless blessings that shape our life; many of which we are unaware of. May Allah s.w.t give us the wisdom, power and knowledge to lead a righteous and prosperous life; Amin! [F.D]
