1. Whatever Allah Has Written for Us Will Reach Us

Allah Almighty says:

قُل لَّن يُصِيبَنَا إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَنَا هُوَ مَوْلَانَا ۚ وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ

“Say: Nothing will ever befall us except what Allah has destined for us. He is our Protector. And in Allah let the believers put their trust.”
(Surah At-Tawbah 9:51)

A believer should live with the conviction that nothing can happen outside the will and decree of Allah. Whatever situation we face, Allah is our Mawla — our Protector, Guardian and Helper.

2. We Need Allah at Every Stage of Life

Our dependence upon Allah is not limited to worship or times of extreme difficulty. We need Allah at every turn of our lives.

We need His help:

• For healing and good health
• For honour and dignity
• For wealth and provisions
• For relief from difficulties
• For repayment of debts
• And for every other need, whether worldly or spiritual

Therefore, our hearts should remain connected to Allah in every condition.

3. Ask Allah With Shauq and Zauq

We should make Du‘a with شوق و ذوق — eagerness, love, hope and enthusiasm.

Du‘a should not become merely a routine movement of the tongue. We should call upon Allah believing that He hears us, knows our circumstances and has complete power to change them.

4. The Confidence of Musa (عليه السلام)

When Musa (عليه السلام) and his people reached the sea while Fir‘awn and his army were approaching from behind, his companions feared that they would be caught.

But Musa (عليه السلام) responded with complete confidence in Allah:

كَلَّا إِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ

“Never! Indeed, my Lord is with me; He will guide me.”
(Surah Ash-Shu‘ara 26:62)

This is the level of Tawakkul a believer should strive for. Even when circumstances appear impossible, the heart should remain confident:

My Allah is with me. He will make a way for me.

5. Turn to Allah in Financial Difficulties

The example of Hazrat Abdullah ibn Zubair (رضي الله عنه) reminds us to turn towards Allah even regarding debts and financial responsibilities.

Calling upon Allah as one’s Mawla and Helper reflects the conviction that ultimately it is Allah who creates the means, opens doors and enables debts and obligations to be fulfilled.

Therefore, financial problems should not make us despair. They should make us turn even more sincerely towards Allah.

6. Even Our Worldly Affairs Are Set Right Through Taqwa

Taqwa is not only a means of success in the Hereafter. Allah makes it a means of solving difficulties in this world as well.

Allah Almighty says:

وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مَخْرَجًا ۝ وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ

“Whoever fears Allah, He will make for him a way out, and provide for him from where he could never imagine.”
(Surah At-Talaq 65:2–3)

Therefore, when facing difficulties, we should not only search for worldly solutions. We should also examine our relationship with Allah, strengthen our Taqwa, and seek His help.

7. Never Allow Your Trust in Allah to Break

The central lesson is:

No matter how difficult the circumstances become, never let your trust in Allah break.

Sometimes the solution may not be visible. Sometimes every apparent door may seem closed. But Allah’s power is not restricted by the means that we can see.

Keep making Du‘a.
Keep practising Taqwa.
Keep taking the right steps.
And keep trusting Allah.

Closing Reflection

The following verses beautifully capture this attitude of hope and courage:

پردے اٹھے ہوئے بھی ہیں
ان کی ادھر نظر بھی ہے
بڑھ کر مقدر آزما
سر بھی ہے اور سنگِ در بھی ہے

The message is one of courage and hope: do not remain defeated by circumstances. Move forward, seek Allah, test your destiny with effort and Du‘a, and never lose confidence in your Mawla.
