Hazrat Mufti Ebrahim Salejee Sahib حفظه الله has advised that there may be certain things in life that we desire, but they are not good for us; and there may be things that we dislike, but they are better for us. As Muslims, we need to believe that Allah Ta’ala جل جلاله has the knowledge of everything.
A major defect in our temperament nowadays is that we turn to Allah Ta’ala جل جلاله as the last resort. In various situations, we turn to all other means besides Allah Ta’ala جل جلاله. And when these fail, we finally resort to Allah Ta’ala جل جلاله. Our minds have to be conditioned in that Allah Ta’ala جل جلاله becomes our first line of action in all our affairs.
