Summary
Allah's Promises Always Come True
- Many people fail to realize a fundamental truth.
- Allah's promises are always fulfilled.
- This often leads to a lack of trust in Him.
Taking the Leap of Faith
- We often hesitate to take a true leap of faith.
- The story of Musa's mother teaches us a profound lesson.
- It all begins with the state of the heart.
Allah Strengthens Her Heart
- Her heart was emptied of all worries.
- Allah tied her heart, reassuring her.
- She became firm in her decision, a true believer.
"I Emptied Her Heart"
- Allah removed her anxieties and fears.
- He strengthened her resolve and conviction.
- This divine intervention made her a firm believer.
Overcoming Indecision with Trust
- We often face indecision in our lives.
- Many decisions require a crucial element: trust in Allah.
- This trust is what Allah inspired in Musa's mother.
But most people don't realize this. What don't most people realize? Most people don't realize that Allah's promises always come true. They fail to trust Him.
They fail to take the leap of faith. The mother of Musa عليه السلام, she teaches us. It's all about the heart.
Allah says:
"I emptied her heart of all of her worries. I tied her heart up. I reassured her until she felt firm in her decision."
Often we make decisions and we find ourselves very indecisive. And often there's some portion of that decision that just requires trust in Allah. This is the part of the decision that Allah inspired to the mother of Musa.
Just do it and trust Him. التوكّل — to trust Allah — is one of the most difficult acts of worship. Because it requires us to give up our own autonomy and control and hand it all back to Allah.
