Seeking The Help From Allah Only...

[Bilal Mahmud المكافح المخلص]

At the end of the day all we have is God. If we can recognize that fact then we will realize that if we have God, we have

everything; and if we do not have God, we have nothing. The Prophet, peace upon him, reminds us, “Whenever you seek help, seek the help of God.” We claim that we seek God’s help every time we recite the Fatiha, "You alone do we worship, and from you alone do we seek assistance." (1:5) However, we have to work to translate that claim into reality.

One who is conscious of God realizes that at the end of the day no one can help or assist him save God. If God determines that someone will be a means to bring you some help that God has ordained for you, then that help ultimately has come from God. This is true in all of our affairs. If you believe that anyone or anything in God’s creation can ultimately help you, independent of God, then you will be placed in the care of that person or thing. Hasan al-Basri wrote the following words to ‘Umar bin ‘Abd al-‘Aziz, “Do not seek the help of anyone other than God, for if you do, God will leave you in the care of that other.”
