قُلْ لَا أَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِي ضَرًّا وَلَا نَفْعًا إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ
“Say, ‘I have no control over any benefit for myself nor any harm except what Allah may wish…” 10:49
Allah is the origin and cause of all benefit and goodness.
مَا أَصَابَكَ مِنْ حَسَنَةٍ فَمِنَ اللَّهِ ۖ وَمَا أَصَابَكَ مِنْ سَيِّئَةٍ فَمِنْ نَفْسِك
“Whatever benefit comes to you (O man!), it is from Allah, and whatever misfortune befalls you, it is from your own self.” 4:79.
He benefits the souls through His Prophets, nourishes the bodies through food, wards off disease through medicine and keeps affliction away through His goodness.
The greatest gifts given to humankind are their intellect, consciousness, and faith.
The Prophet (pbuh) said to Ibn ‘Abbas:
“I would like to teach you a few words:
If you safeguard your rights towards Allah, He will protect you.
If you remain mindful of Allah’s rights on you, you will find Him looking after you.
If you have a plea, then plead to Him;
if you seek help, seek it from Him,
Bear in mind that if all people gather to benefit you in anything, they will not be able to do so except in what He has already allotted for you, and if they all gather together to harm you in any way, they will never be able to do so except if He has already decreed it on you; the ink has dried, and the tablets have been removed.”
Recite Yaa Naafi’ to relieve sadness and for success in every good action.
