أَمْ لَهُمْ آلِهَةٌ تَمْنَعُهُمْ مِنْ دُونِنَا
“Do they have gods besides Us who will prevent harm?” 21:43
To trust that Allah will always ward off harm (looking at the big picture of the world and the hereafter).
وَعَسَىٰ أَنْ تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ ۖ وَعَسَىٰ أَنْ تُحِبُّوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَكُمْ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
“… it may be that you dislike something, which is good for you, and it may be that you love something, which is bad for you, and Allah knows and you do not know.” 2:216
Human beings are not able to see what is harmful and what is not. Allah always knows, and defends us in ways we do not see. Though the reason may not be known to us, Al Maani’ keeps away from us even that which we wish to prevent us from being harmed. Whenever something is help back, something better is given.
A fortress is known in Arabic as Hisnul Maani’ (a fortified castle). It prevents harm from entering it keeping the inhabitants safe. Today we have alarm systems that keep us safe, preventing us from harm if only warning us go danger.
Recite Yaa Maani’ to help relive pain and fear, for safety from danger and to install love in a family.
