The Levels Of Tawakkul: Trust and Reliance on Allah

Those who have Tawakkul do not abandon material resources, the 'tying of the camel', as it were. We all know the Hadith in which the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said to the Bedouin who had left his camel without tying it, to 'tie your camel and place your trust in Allah'. The people of Tawakkul know the balance between action and trust in Allah (The Most High).

Do Not Live Without a Vision

Many people think that they have a vision but in reality they have nothing. Countless brothers and sisters consult me regarding key decisions in their life.

This worldly life is like an unchaste woman

Lusts were granted in abundance to humans, but those who believed in the unseen turned away from them! while those who follow their lusts were caused to regret.
