Reliance on Allah in everything we do

By S N Smith Feb 7, 2025

We should always keep in mind that any strength or ability that we possess comes from Allah and that we would not be able to accomplish anything unless Allah enabled us to do so. And when I say anything, I mean anything in the absolute sense.

We must always remind ourselves that La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah (There is no power and no strength except with Allah).'"

When we develop an overestimation of ourselves and think we are so smart or so capable and then as a result begin to look down on others, we have lost sight of the reality of La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah.

Whatever we can do is from Allah. And whatever we have been rendered incapable of doing is also from Allah. In both cases we should give thanks to He who sees and knows all things and develop within ourselves a sense of humility, as well as the consciousness of reliance on Allah in everything that we do in life.
