༺ Allah ﷻ Is More Merciful to You Than Your Mother ༻
➖➖➖
Tawakkul means placing your trust in Allah ﷻ while taking the means available to you.
When life becomes difficult, do not allow hardship to push you away from Allah.
Let it push you toward Him.
🌿 Follow the Example of Ibrāhīm عليه السلام
Allah ﷻ tells us about Ibrāhīm عليه السلام
وَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ
“And he said, ‘Indeed, I am going to my Lord; He will guide me.’”
[Aṣ-Ṣāffāt 37:99]
Ibrāhīm عليه السلام left his people after they rejected the truth and attempted to harm him.
Yet he did not despair.
He trusted his Lord.
He moved forward knowing that Allah ﷻ would guide him.
That is Tawakkul.
When you find yourself surrounded by difficulties, sins, or trials, do not remain trapped.
Turn toward Allah ﷻ.
Step away from the things that are harming your soul and move toward His guidance.
❤️ Allah Is More Merciful Than a Mother
عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رضي الله عنه، قَالَ
قَدِمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ سَبْيٌ، فَإِذَا امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ السَّبْيِ قَدْ تَحْلُبُ ثَدْيَهَا تَسْقِي، إِذَا وَجَدَتْ صَبِيًّا فِي السَّبْيِ أَخَذَتْهُ فَأَلْزَقَتْهُ بِبَطْنِهَا وَأَرْضَعَتْهُ
The Prophet ﷺ saw a mother desperately searching among the captives for her child. When she found him, she held him close and nursed him.
He ﷺ then said:
«أَتَرَوْنَ هَذِهِ طَارِحَةً وَلَدَهَا فِي النَّارِ؟»
They replied, “No.”
The Prophet ﷺ said:
«لَلَّهُ أَرْحَمُ بِعِبَادِهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ بِوَلَدِهَا»
“Allah is more merciful to His servants than this mother is to her child.”
[Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 5999; Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2754]
Think about the greatest love you have experienced from a mother.
Then remember that Allah's mercy toward His servants is even greater.
🌸 Allah Loves Your Repentance
Never think that you have gone too far to return to Allah ﷻ.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رضي الله عنه، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
«لَلَّهُ أَشَدُّ فَرَحًا بِتَوْبَةِ عَبْدِهِ حِينَ يَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ»
“Allah is more delighted with the repentance of His servant when he repents to Him…”
The Prophet ﷺ then gave the example of a person who loses his camel in a desert and suddenly finds it again.
[Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 6309; Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2747]
So do not delay repentance.
Do not tell yourself:
⏳ “I will repent later.”
🌙 “I will change during Ramadan.”
⌛ “I will become serious about my faith when I am older.”
You do not know how much time you have.
🏃 Flee to Allah ﷻ
Allah ﷻ says:
فَفِرُّوا إِلَى اللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّي لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ
“So flee to Allah. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.”
[Adh-Dhāriyāt 51:50]
🏃 Flee from sin to Allah.
🌙 Flee from despair to Allah.
💪 Flee from your weaknesses to Allah.
🌿 Flee from the distractions of the dunya to Allah.
🌧️ Flee from despair to Allah.
💪 Flee from your weaknesses to Allah.
🌿 Flee from the distractions of the dunya to Allah.
🤲 And when you fall, return again.
🤲 A Final Reminder
Oh believers—do not wait for a special month, a special day, or the “right time” to repent.
☝️ Repent now.
🤲 Trust Allah ﷻ.
🌿 Be patient.
🛤️ Take the means.
🚫 Leave what displeases Him.
And keep walking toward Him, even if you have to take small steps.
Allah ﷻ does not ask you to be perfect.
He asks you to return to Him.
May Allah ﷻ strengthen our tawakkul, forgive our sins, accept our repentance, guide our hearts, and allow us to flee to Him before we are returned to Him.
آمِينَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ
