Hasbunallahu Wa Ni'mal Wakeel. Allah is Sufficient for us, and He is
the Best Disposar of affairs for us.
Who doesn't need help, care, protection and victory?
Who doesn't feel weak, over-powered by difficulties, stress and worries?
In their quest for peace andtranquility, some affluent sections of
society resort tosleeping pills, drugs and what not.
Poor curse their miseries and desire that they become rich.
They say grass appears greener on the other side!
But strange is the way of a true Muslim!
Here there is no question of the grass getting dry. Hisside of the
grass is always greener. Subhaanallah!
The roots of this amazing grass are strong and deep. They are being
continuosly fed with the waters of Imaan.
Willing submission to the Master, the very Controller of all affairs,
keeps the grass ever green.
Don't you find the presenceof amazing dew drops on this amazing grass?
The dew drops of Contentment, Hope, Trust, Willingness to submit to
the decree of Almighty Lord?
These dew drops in the life a Muslim contain miraculous elements to
keep the grass greener even in the most harshest and cruelest of
life's climates!
Read and reflect over this beautiful hadeeth:
Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) said: When (Prophet)
Ibraheem was thrown into the fire, he said: "Allah (Alone) is
sufficient for us, and, He is the Best Disposer of affairs." So did
Messenger of Allah, Muhammad (sal-lal-laahu- alaihi-wa-salla m), when
he was told: "A great army of the pagans had gathered against him, so
fear them". But this (warning) only increased him and the Muslims in
Faith and they said: "Allah (Alone) is sufficient for us, and He is
the Best Disposer of affairs (for us)". [Al-Bukhari].
When Ibraheem alaihis salam was thrown in the fire by those who
thought that they had power over all things, he made a supplication
the effect of which made the world sit up and watch in amazement!
Fire getting cool! It could not burn even a hair of Prophet Ibraheem,
Peace be upon him!
This is the effect of saying: Hasbunallahu Wa Ni'mal Wakeel!
Allah (alone) is Sufficient for us, and what an Excellent Guardian He
is! Heis the Best Disposar of affairs!
In a seemingly overpowering situation, Prophet Muhammad,
sal-lal-laahu-a laihi-wa-sallam , and his great companions declared
that Allah is Sufficient for Help and Solace and that He is the Best
Disposar of affairs for us!
When people said to them:'Behold, a host has gathered around you and
you should fear them', it only increased their faith and they
answered: 'Allah is Sufficient for us; and what an excellent
GuardianHe is!'(Surah aal Imran: 173)
During the course of his Da'wah, when he encountered rejection
fromsome people, Prophet Muhammad, sal-lal-laahu-a laihi-wasallam, was
commanded by Allah to say:
فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا فَقُلْ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ
عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ ۖ وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ
Yet, if they should turn away, then tell them: "Allah is sufficient
for me; there is no true god but He.In Him I have put my trust. He is
the Lord of the MightyThrone."(Surah Tawbah: 129)
When his companions got scared of the coming of theDay of Judgement,
ProphetMuhammad sal-lal-laahu-a laihi-wasallam instructed them to
recite: Hasbunallahu Wa Ni'mal Wakeel.
Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah said, "How can I feel at ease when the Angel of the
Trumpet, (Israfil) has put his lips to the Trumpet and is waiting for
the orderto blow it". He (the Prophet) perceived as if this had
shocked his Companions, so he told them to seek comfort through
reciting: 'Hasbunallah wa ni'mal-Wakeel [Allah (Alone) is Sufficient
for us, and He is the Best Disposer of affairs (for us)]". (For Arabic
Text, read Hadeeth No. 409 here)
In the event of fear and anxiety one should seek the help of Allah and
frequently recite this ayah of the glorious Qur'an "Hasbunallahu wa
ni'mal Wakeel" Allah (Alone) is Sufficient for us, and He is the Best
Disposer of affairs (for us)." (3:173).
If you ask them: "Who created the heavens and the earth?" they will
surelyanswer: "Allah."/
