Depend Upon Allah if You Truly Believe

Allah (swt ), says:
" And whoever places his trust
in Allah, Sufficient is He for him, for Allah will surely accomplish His
Purpose: For verily, Allah has appointed for all things a due proportion" (Qur'an
65:3)
Allah (swt
), Most Glorified, Most High, informs us in this verse that whoever trusted in
Him and depended upon Him to fulfill his needs and wants, Allah (swt ) will
suffice him in every matter, whether worldly or religious, for Allah (swt ) will
surely accomplish His Purpose and nothing escapes Him and no request is
difficult for Him; and in order that those who ask him be not impatient, He
informs us that He has appointed for everything a time and a place, which none
can delay nor bring forward.
