‘O’ Allāh, just as You have shielded

 my face from bowing to any but You..'

‘Abd-Allāh ibn Ahmad ibn Hanbal, [may Allah have mercy on them both], said:

“I would often hear my father say in his prostration:

‘O’ Allāh, just as You have shielded my face from bowing to any but You, then shield it from seeking aid from any but You.’“


Hilyat ul-Awliyā’ā, 9/233 | Al-Imām al-Asbahāni, [may Allāh have mercy on him]

THROW YOURSELF BETWEEN THE HANDS OF ALLAAH

THROW YOURSELF BETWEEN THE HANDS OF ALLAAH

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Throw Yourself Between the Hands of Allaah

If the servant of Allah knows that he cannot escape nor change the plan of Allah, he will commit all his affairs to Allah and throw himself between His hands as a humble servant throws himself between the hands of a mighty king who has authority over him – and indeed the servant has no power of his own. When the servant knows all that, he will be relieved from all distress and sadness and will pass the burden to Allah who does not care or get tired. Allah will carry them and show him kindness and mercy without any tiredness. The servant has paid attention to Allah alone and Allah paid attention to the needs and benefits of his life and emptied his heart from them, and, as a result, his life will be good and his heart will be happy.
