The remedy

If one faces a problem, then one needs to find a solution to it. The first step is to understand the problem and then look for its remedy.

It is likewise important that the remedy of the problem is available in the condition and location where one is situated.

Sometimes, one may have all the means at one's disposal but there are obstacles that prevent one from using these means. Or maybe someone of a high status like the head of the state, may also have an ardent desire to help you, but he is unable to due to some constraints. He may be facing political opposition. Or maybe he is facing problems with the council of ministers, the public and the international convention. Or maybe he needs to overcome a series of administrative problems before being able to offer his assistance to you.

Allah Ta'ala, on the other hand, is unique. He has full knowledge of everything. He has the power and the ability to achieve what He wants. He has no parliament, council of ministers, or any other instance to endorse, seek approval of or ratify. Allah Ta'ala is independent. He does not need anything. On the contrary, everyone needs Him. He has no constraints.

That is why we should present our difficulties to Allah Ta'ala. Everything that we have and we are blessed with come from Him. It is He who has the solution to all problems and it is He alone who can remedy all problems. That is why we should always strengthen our relationship with Allah Ta’. We can achieve this by executing His commandments according to the Mubarak Tareeqah of Nabi (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam).
