Want to get rid of the WORRIES of LIFE? Then FOCUS on ONE issue; Al-Akhira, the HEREAFTER, for Allah will SETTLE your AFFAIRS for you!

‘Abdur-Rahman bin Aban bin ‘Uthman bin ‘Affan narrated that his father said:
“Zaid bin Thabit departed from Marwan at mid-day. I said: ‘He has not sent him out at this time of the day except for something he asked.’ So I asked him, and he said: ‘He asked me about some things we heard from Rasulullah Sallillahu alaihi wa sallam:

“Whoever is focused only on this world, Allah will confound his affairs and make him fear poverty constantly, and he will not get anything of this world except that which has been decreed for him.

Whoever is focused on the Hereafter, Allah will settle his affairs for him and make him feel content with his lost, and his provision and worldly gains will undoubtedly come to him.”

But I like WORDINGS of another Hadith:

‘Whoever focuses all his concerns on one issue, the concerns of the Hereafter, Allah will suffice him and spare him the worries of this world. 

My Comment:

Subhanallah, this totally depends on and relates to the issue of Tawakkul. And these are those people of 70,000 who enters Jannah without any accounting! Subhanallah!

Ah! Can we do it? How can we do it? Without total Islam in your family, in your society and in your land (which you call your ‘country’), how can one be in a position to get to that stage? It’s not only about you! You need help from your own family, from your bigger family, from your society on issues of Tawakkul that are always connected with them to some extent. Because you are not alone. You just can’t isolate yourself and solely put your trust on Allah for your affairs, your family won’t let you. Your societal environment will make it the hardest for you. And Allah doesn’t allow you to be isolated in a jungle! And your worldly affairs related to your surroundings.

O Allah, make it easy for me. Make my family Muslim, make the people around me Muslim, make the environment around me Muslim, submitting to you for all their affairs. Ameen. Or Take me among to the Muslims, take me to a land of Muslims. Decree me a family of Muslim ya Ohhab! ya Kareem!

Ya Al-Hadee. guide me, make me firm on your Deen and make me one of those who trusts you fully in everything in life. Ameen.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبَانَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ خَرَجَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ مَرْوَانَ بِنِصْفِ النَّهَارِ فَقُلْتُ مَا بَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ إِلاَّ لِشَىْءٍ سَأَلَ عَنْهُ ‏.‏ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ سَأَلَنَا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ سَمِعْنَاهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقُولُ

 “‏ مَنْ كَانَتِ الدُّنْيَا هَمَّهُ فَرَّقَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرَهُ وَجَعَلَ فَقْرَهُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَأْتِهِ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلاَّ مَا كُتِبَ لَهُ

وَمَنْ كَانَتِ الآخِرَةُ نِيَّتَهُ جَمَعَ اللَّهُ لَهُ أَمْرَهُ وَجَعَلَ غِنَاهُ فِي قَلْبِهِ وَأَتَتْهُ الدُّنْيَا وَهِيَ رَاغِمَةٌ ‏”‏ ‏.‏
