ٱللَّهُ لَطِيفُۢ بِعِبَادِهِۦ يَرۡزُقُ مَن يَشَآءُۖ وَهُوَ ٱلۡقَوِيُّ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ
"Allah is most kind towards His servants; He provides for whoever He wills, He is the Powerful, the Almighty."
I recall that one of the great Imams in our history - Ibn Qudamah al-Maqdisi - was reflecting on this verse when he wrote his brother some profound advice. He said, rahimahullah:
"Know that someone who is all alone clinging to a plank of wood in the middle of the ocean, is no less in need of Allah ﷻ and His kindness than one who is comfortably at home with his family and wealth.
Once this reality settles in your heart, become dependent upon Allah ﷻ like the one who is drowning and knows that nothing and no-one can save him except Allah ﷻ."
May Allah ﷻ remove all arrogance from our hearts, and allow us to truly depend on and submit to Him alone.
