ALLAH IS SUFFICIENT | حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ
ALLAH IS SUFFICIENT | حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ … These were the words spoken to Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) by Allah (swt) in the face of people who rejected his message.
ALLAH IS SUFFICIENT | حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ
حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ ۖ وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ
Hasbiyal laahu laaa ilaaha illaa Huwa ‘alaihi tawakkkaltu wa Huwa Rabbul ‘Arshil ‘Azeem
“Sufficient for me is Allah; there is no deity except Him. On Him I have relied, and He is the Lord of the Great Throne.” [source]
We come to Allah as humble servants, seeking his pardon, assistance, and direction. Who is there to help you after Allah if He abandons you? If He were to assist you, no one could defeat you. And let the believers put their trust in Allah. (3:160) Recognize that things do not always turn out the way we had hoped, but we must learn to say Alhamdulillah (all praise is due to Allah) in every situation since we never know what is waiting behind a door. We firmly believe that Allah is aware of what is best for us as we continue to advance.
The words mentioned in this ayat of Surah Taubah were given to Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) in response to the rejection he received from the non-believers.
it discusses how there will always be two groups of people. The believers and the disbelievers. One group will rejoice when a new Surah is revealed, the hypocrites will only increase in their disbelief.
How can the same message produce polar opposite results?
IS IT OKAY TO MAKE DUA FOR WORLDLY THINGS?
When you read and understand the message of the Surah it may seem like a sincere and useful message. Yet others may read the same passage they become filled with anger and contempt.
It seems perplexing, how could those who disbelieve not believe?
The simplest answer is that
In Surah fatiha, we recite iyyaka na’budu wa iyyaka nastaeen meaning “It is You we worship and You we ask for help.”

hasbunal laahu wa ni’malwakeel
“Sufficient for us is Allah, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs.” [source]
