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.
‘Al – Fawaa’id’ by Imam Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah)
