Who’s your emergency call? Who do you trust, who do you go to for help?

إِيَّاكَ نَعۡبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسۡتَعِينُ
“You (Alone) we worship and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything).”

If we worship Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala it implies, therefore, that we believe in complete dependence on Him subhanahu. We believe in all His Glorious names and attributes; In His eternal Perfection. All of creation is in need of Him, and He subhanahu is in need of no one. He is As-Samad, The Self-Sufficient and He is the source of all aid. Then why turn to anyone else for anything? Why turn to the dependent creation, when we can turn to the Independent Creator and get what we need directly?

So Trust Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala with your affairs:

فَٱعۡبُدۡهُ وَتَوَڪَّلۡ عَلَيۡهِ‌ۚ
“…Worship Him and put your trust in Him.” [11:123]

رَّبُّ ٱلۡمَشۡرِقِ وَٱلۡمَغۡرِبِ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَٱتَّخِذۡهُ وَكِيلاً۬
“He is the Lord of the East and the West; there is no god but He; so take Him for a guardian.” [73:9]

قُلۡ هُوَ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنُ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦ وَعَلَيۡهِ تَوَكَّلۡنَا‌ۖ
“Say He is All-Merciful. We believe in Him, and we put all our trust in Him.” [67:29]

Putting all our trust in Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala, in Al-Rehmaan, Al-Wakeel, is the solution to all our problems and worries. When you trust Al-Wakeel, the One who is absolute in His perfection and His trustworthiness is perfect: then you truly have nothing to worry about. So trust your affairs to Al-Wakeel.

Put your Creator first. Make Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala your emergency call.

Importance of Ilm [Knowledge]

"The Seeking of knowledge is obligatory for EVERY Muslim."

Only by seeking, do we acquire knowledge, and only with the acquisition of knowledge do we find truth and guidance.

"Seek knowledge, because seeking it for the sake of Allah is a worship. And knowing it makes you more God-fearing; and searching for it is jihad, teaching it to those who do not know is charity, reviewing and learning it more is like tasbeeh. Through knowledge Allah will be known and worshipped. With the knowledge Allah will elevate people and make them leaders and imams, who will in turn guide other people." [Fatawa Ibn Taymiyya vol.10, p.39]

Only through the knowledge of our Lord can we truly love our Lord, and worship Him subhanahu wa ta'ala with true reverence. And only with the knowledge of Quran and Sunnah, through the knowledge of Islam and our deen, the teachings and the commandments, can we truly worship with excellence and devotion and come closer to our Lord subhanahu.

“It is only those who have knowledge amongst His slaves that fear Allah.” [Soorah Al-Fatir (35): 28]
