BEIGN PLEASED WITH ALLĀH’S DECREE AS IT UNFOLDS
It is authentically reported on the authority of Abu Hurairah (may ALLĀH be pleased with) that the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said: “Seek what benefits you, and seek help only from ALLĀH and do not lose heart. If any adversity comes to you, do not say: “If I had only acted in such-and-such a way, it would have been such-and-such;” but instead, say:
قَدَرُ اللّٰهِ، وَمَا شَاءَ فَعَلَ
(It is the Decree of ALLĀH and He does whatever HE wills.)
for verily, ˹the word˺ “if” opens the way for the work of Satan.”
{Sunan Ibn Majah #79}
Because Islam calls mankind to that which leads to success, prosperity and betterment of society, ALLAH’S Messenger(ﷺ) commanded the Muslims to take part in jihad in ALLAH’S cause; and in order that they might attain the aforementioned blessings – in this life and the Hereafter – he ordered them to accept calamities – which are all from ALLAH’S Qadr with equanimity, and not to become depressed or open the outcome;” for to do so will lead to anger and despair, and these are the works of the devil. Instead he guided them to that which is better and more worthy, which is to say: *”ALLĀH (ﷺ) has decreed ˹it˺ and what HE willed HE has done.”*
