Our belief is wrong, our impression is totally false, unable to understand Allah’s desire. Allah had planned that this thing would happen through money. Likewise it’s through Allah’s desire that we are restored to health. It was Allah who had planned to recover us through the medicine, but we didn’t see Allah’s will and didn’t ponder over it, we just saw the medicine and the stomachache subsiding so we judged that it was the medicine which recovered us. The reality can’t appear in front of us, we can just imagine it.
Allah has opened in front of us the bondage we have with this world whereas the connection Allah has with this world is invisible to us. The connection that the means have with Allah is not observable. It is the order that comes from His side, which is carried out. We all are humans, neither through our want nor with the help of the human system, it was just that Allah willed to make us human beings.
He could have made us monkeys, dogs, horses, mules, he could make us all vanish into thin air as He has said “in yasha’ yuzhibkum” “He can do away with you if He wills” Ibrahim 19. (in akha dzallahu sam’akum wa absarakum wa khatama ala qulu bikum man ilahun ghairullahi ya’teekum bih). If Allah takes away your hearing and your sight and seals up your hearts, is there any deity other than Allah who could restore them to you?” Al-Anaam: 46.
In this verse Allah is telling us that He has bondage with you and that which is ordered from there is carried out.
The belief that things happen through money was penetrated/drilled into the heart via what we saw and heard. Allah’s prophet’s words tell us that your money bond is with Allah. Your existence is through Allah. When Allah wills, it happens, when Allah doesn’t will, the entire universe can’t make it happen.
(Lawijtama al insu wal jinnu ala an yanfa’uka bi shai’in lam yanfa’uka bi shai’un illa qad katabahallahu laka) “If all the jinn and mankind will to benefit you with something they cannot benefit you but with what Allah has destined for you”.
Our weakness is that we want all our wishes to be fulfilled in this world and the next. Whereas Allah has appointed a principle, (yaa abdii anta tureed wa ana ureed wa laa yakunu illa ma ureed in sallamta lee fee ma ureed kafaituka fee ma tureed, wa illam tusallim lee feema ureed atabtuka feema tureed tsumma la yakunu illa ma ureed) “Oh my servant! You want and I want and only that will happen which I will, thus, if you submit yourself to My will, I will be sufficient for you in what you want, and if you do not submit to My will, I will tire you in seeking your desire, and only that will happen which I will”.
Allah (SAW) also says: (in yamsaskallahu bi dhurrin fa la kaashifa lahu illa huwa wa in yuridka bi khairin falaa raada li fadhlihee) “If Allah afflicts you with any harm, none can remove it other than Him and if He intends to bestow a favour upon you, none can withhold His bounty ” Younus 107.
(Maa yaftahillahu linnaasi min rahmatin fa laa mumsika laha) “Whatever grace Allah opens for man, none can withhold it” Faathir 2. If Allah opens the doors of mercy, honour, wealth and subsistence for you no one can close that door…(wa maa yumsik falaa mursila lahu mim ba’dihi) “And whatever He withholds none can hence forth release” Faathir 2. If He closes the door, the entire world has no strength to open it.
Now, if we compare our knowledge with Allah’s, our knowledge and intelligence tells us that when there is money there is luxury, honour, and prosperity. Our money has no bondage with Allah, wealth is the only means to achieve all these things.
On the contrary, Allah’s knowledge tells us that when He opens the doors of affluence and abundance then only will you obtain all these bounties, and if He closes them no one can bestow them upon you. You will get if He gives, it will happen if He wills, if He doesn’t will it, then it can’t happen. These are the two main factors. And because of this He said in the beginning that man is weak, foolish and ignorant (dhaluman jahulan, ajula) ‘unjust, foolish and hasty’. And because of his feebleness, his mind is weak and so is his experience. No one can challenge Allah’s knowledge (laa mubaddila li kalimaatihee) “None can alter His words” Al-Anam 115.
(laa mubaddila li kalimaatihee) “No change can there be in His words” Al-Kahf 27.
(laa raiba feehi) “There is no doubt in it” As Sajdah 2.
(innahu laqaulun fasl) “It is a word which distinguishes [good from evil]” At-Tariq 13.
(kitaabun uhkimat ayaatuhu tsumma fussilat min ladun hakeemin khabeer) “Whose verses are perfected and issued in detail from One Wise, Informed” Al-Hud 1.
(Ar Rahmanu fas’al bihee khabeera) “The Most Gracious! Ask, then, about Him one who is aware” Al-Furqan 59. Don’t ask some imprudent person about me. Ask someone who is aware of the glory and might of your Lord.
