If You Put your Trust In Allah...️

If You Put Your Trust in Allah

One of my teachers, he used to say something to me. He used to say, Hisham, when you leave your house and you lock the door, ask your heart. Phenomenal thing, may Allah bless you and him.

He said, ask your heart — am I relying on this lock to keep my house safe? Or am I relying on Allah to keep my house safe?

I said, what do you mean? He said, you know, you could rely on the lock and the whole house can burn down in a fire and leave the door standing. Where was your lock?

We put a lot of trust in these things — locks, jobs, paychecks, people. We have to relieve ourselves from that. And if you do put your trust in these things, you become more anxious and more depressed and more stressed.

Why? Because all these things — you can't rely on them. They're not reliable. One day your house alarm works, the next day there was a glitch in the system.

Sorry, you lost your TV, your plasma screen TV. So you're right — you shouldn't have bought one in the first place.
