Accepting Allah's Decree: A Guide to Peace and Serenity
People would automatically stop complaining about the problems which they face in their daily lives when they start contemplating on the saying of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم:قَدَّرَ اللَّهُ، وَمَا شَاءَ فَعَلَ
Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه reported: The Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “A strong believer is better and dearer to Allaah than a weak one, and both are good. Adhere to that which is beneficial for you. Keep asking Allaah for help and do not refrain from it. If you are afflicted in any way, do not say: 'If I had taken this or that step, it would have resulted into such and such,' but say only:
قَدَّرَ اللَّهُ، وَمَا شَاءَ فَعَلَ
Qaddar-Allaahu, wa maa shaa’ fal
‘Allaah has Decreed, and what He wills He does.' The word 'if' opens the gates of satanic thoughts". [Sunan Ibn Maajah]
In Saheeh Muslim, the wordings are:
قَدَرُ اللهِ وَمَا شَاءَ فَعَلَ
Qadar-ullaahi, wa maa shaa’ fal
'It is the Decree of Allaah, and what He wills He does.'
