Placing Trust in Him

A friend sent me this beautiful hadith a moment ago;

"One day Allah's Messenger (pbuh), noticed a Bedouin leaving his camel without tying it. He asked the Bedouin, "Why don't you tie down your camel?"

The Bedouin answered, "I placed my trust in Allah."

At that, the Prophet (pbuh) said, "Tie your camel and place your trust in Allah" - Tirmidhi


Often when we place our trust in Him, what follows are not fitting, essential efforts to make what we wish works but rather we prefer to merely remain hopeful, just like the Bedouin.

"..Then when you have taken a decision, put your trust in Allah, certainly, Allah loves those who put their trust (in Him). If Allah helps you, none can overcome you; and if he forsakes you, who is there after Him that can help you? And in Allah(alone) let believers put their trust."
(3:159-160)

All the best cepe!
