Planning and Destiny - IOU Blog: Indeed never despair and never give up. Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Strive to do that which will benefit you and seek the help of Allaah, and do not feel helpless.” Narrated by Muslim, 2664. And Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): “You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything)” [al-Faatihah 1:5].
So you make your effort, and then you leave the rest to Allah. So you combine both, plan and trust in Allah that Allah knows best. What is best for us, we really do not know. We might think this is the best thing, and so we make our plan for it, but then Allah knows that that is not the best thing, so he gives you something else. We do not say why, why? No, we do not say why. We accept and we work with what Allah has destined. This is the proper approach.
