Trusting in Allah is the key to happiness

There are times when one might find oneself feeling helpless or unable to accomplish something
desired. It is at this stage that one resorts to another person who is stronger and more able in
order to ask him for help and put his trust in him to achieve what he set out to do. Who then is
he that is stronger than Almighty Allah?! The key to happiness lies in putting one’s trust in Allah,
the All-Powerful, whose hand holds the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, Who, if He
wishes a thing, just says: “Be!” and it is. Allah says: {Verily, His Command, when He intends a
thing, is only that He says to it, “Be!” and it is!} (Yâ¬-Sîn:82)

Thus, the Almighty commanded us to depend on and trust in Him Alone. Allah says: {and put
your trust in Allâh if you are believers indeed.”}(Al-Mâ’idah:23)

Where else can a person find such sufficiency? Allah Almighty Alone is sufficient. Allah says: {and
put your trust in Allâh. And Allâh is Ever All¬Sufficient as a Disposer of affairs.}(An-Nisâ’:81)

There is no doubt that this grants a person tranquility, comfort, happiness, sufficiency and
makes him able to accomplish what he wants, states which cannot truly be understood (and
appreciated) except by those who have experienced them. Allah says: {2... And whosoever fears
Allâh and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). 3.
And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. And whosoever puts his trust in
Allâh, then He will suffice him. Verily, Allâh will accomplish his purpose. Indeed Allâh has set a
measure for all things.}(At-Talâq:2-3)

This is as well as the protection of the Almighty for those who put their trust in Him from Satan,
Allah says: {Verily! He has no power over those who believe and put their trust only in their Lord
(Allâh).}(An-Nahl:99)

Allah also offers protection from enemies. Allah says: {173. Those (i.e. believers) unto whom the
people (hypocrites) said, “Verily, the people (pagans) have gathered against you (a great army),
therefore, fear them.” But it (only) increased them in Faith, and they said: “Allâh (Alone) is
Sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer of affairs (for us).” 174. So they returned with
Grace and Bounty from Allâh. No harm touched them; and they followed the good Pleasure of
Allâh. And Allâh is the Owner of Great Bounty. 175. It is only Shaitân (Satan) that suggests to you
the fear of his Auliyâ’ [supporters and friends (polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh
and in His Messenger, Muhammad SAW)], so fear them not, but fear Me, if you are (true)
believers.}(Âl-’Imrân:173-175)
