Do not get bored of standing!


Abdullah ibn Mushabbib al-Qahtāni

If you become helpless and surrounded by fears, remember that He is the First and the Last, that He is close to you, and that He is Able to do all things and is Vanquisher over His servants, and He directs every matter from the heaven to the earth and then it ascends to Him. And remember that He is Watchful  over your innermost thoughts and feelings.

Thus, your heart has a Lord to turn to, a God to worship, and an Eternal Refuge to rely upon for the fulfillment of needs and relief from distress. If this settles in you, your heart will be joyful, your soul will calm down, your conscience will be at ease, and relief will be at hand, as you know that Allah is the First and the Last, and the Manifest and the Hidden, and that He is Able to do all things.

The fire did not burn Ibrāhīm (peace be upon him) on account of divine care and protection.

{We said: “O fire, be cool and safety for Abraham.”}

[Surat al - Anbiyā’: 69]

Also, Mūsa (peace be upon him) did not drown at the sea, because he said with a confident voice while believing in the power of Allah,

{He said: “No, indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me.”}

[Surat ash - Shu‘arā’: 62]

And as Yūnus (peace be upon him) was in the belly of the whale, he called out,

{There is no god but You; Glorified are You . Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers.}

[Surat al - Anbiyā’: 87]

A weak voice that was released from the three layers of darkness: the darkness of the night, the darkness of the sea, and the darkness in the belly of the whale. It pierced these layers and headed towards the heaven. Thereupon, relief came.

And for the helpless person there are subtle and kind acts in the unseen!

They had already been predestined for him!
