In the complexities of life, a person often takes various paths to fulfill their desires. Some of these align with the will of Allah, while others may lead to His displeasure. However, we must remember that true success lies in seeking Allah’s approval. When we fear Allah and follow the path that pleases Him, taking our needs to His door in prayer, it brings a new sense of hope, encouragement, and strength to our faith, as discussed in The Classy Books, impacting our lives deeply.
Fearing Allah on Our Lives: A Necessity
Fearing Allah is not just the hallmark of a believer, but it is also an integral part of every Muslim’s faith. It encourages us to keep our desires within limits, avoid sins, and increase our good deeds. When we truly realize Allah’s greatness and power, a balance is established in our lives. This fear protects us from misguidance and keeps us on the right path.
The Power of Prayer
Prayer is the means by which a servant establishes a relationship with Allah. When we plead with Allah from the depths of our hearts, He hears our call. The power of prayer is such that “Destiny changes through the effects of prayer.” This is why the Qur’an and Sunnah repeatedly emphasize that prayer is a Muslim’s strength and weapon. When we pray, we admit our weaknesses and seek Allah’s mercy and grace. Allah, in His mercy, never leaves His servant without help.
The Need for Pleading
We should understand that Allah is the Most Merciful and does not want to see His servant unsuccessful. When we plead before Allah for our needs, it signifies our acknowledgment that we are in desperate need of His mercy. This act provides peace because crying before the Merciful lightens the heart and fulfills our hopes. It also guides us to the best path to fulfill our rightful desires. Remember the story of Prophet Yunus (AS) when he was in the belly of the fish and pleaded with Allah. His prayer brought him out of his difficulties. This example teaches us that turning to Allah can remove even the toughest of hardships.
Conclusion: The Time to Humble Ourselves Before Allah
Today, many of us are surrounded by numerous problems, but we must remember that we are the servants of Allah, and no one can guide us toward success without His help. To fulfill our desires, we must seek His mercy and grace.
Let us all, with fear of Allah and complete trust in His mercy, raise our hands in prayer from the depths of our hearts and bring about change in our lives. Turning to Allah, praying to Him, and walking the path of His approval is the true guarantee of our success.
