Allah?s pleasure. Allah tells us in the Quran: ??Certainly, Allah loves those who put their trust (in Him).? (Quran: Surah Aal-e-Imran: Verse 159) In parallel, we should also use all our God-granted faculties in every endeavor that we choose to pursue. As we know from the popular hadith that one day Prophet Muhammad (Sallellahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) noticed a Bedouin leaving his camel without tying it and he asked the Bedouin, ?Why don?t you tie down your camel?? The Bedouin answered, ?I put my trust in Allah.? The Prophet (S.A.W.S.) then said: ?Tie your camel first, then put your trust in Allah.? [At-Tirmidhi] Finally, does the above guarantee that we will get our intended result? As Muslims, we should believe that Allah as the Lord of the worlds has far more knowledge than His creation, and out of His wisdom He may decide to supersede all our plans for reasons that only He knows. We should remind ourselves that believing in al-Qadr (Allah?s divine will and decree) is one of the pillars of Islamic faith. Allah says in the Quran: ?No calamity befalls on the earth or in your selves but it is inscribed in the Book of Decrees (Al-Lawh AlMahfooz) before We bring it into existence. Verily, that is easy for Allah.? (Quran, Surah Al-Hadeed, Verse 22.) So, before embarking on an effort, remind yourselves of the following: * Put your trust in Allah * Use your God-granted faculties to put in your best efforts * Believe in the divine decree (Qada wal-qadr) ?
