Certainty and Trust in Allah

The true believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, their hearts tremble with awe, and when His Revelations are recited to them, it strengthens them in faith, and they put their trust in their Lord. (al-Anfal 8:2)

 

47. Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to say, “O Allah, I submit to you and I believe in you and I have relied on you and I turn to you and I have argued by you. I seek refuge with Your might, there is no deity other than You, from Your misguiding me. You are the Living who does not die while jinn and men will all die.” (Sahih Muslim, Dhikr, 67; Sahih al-Bukhari, Tahajjud, 1, Tawhid, 7).
50. Abu Umara al-Bara ibn Azib, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “O so-and-so! When you retire to your bed, say, ‘O Allah, I submit myself to You and I have turned my face to You. I have entrusted my affair to You and taken shelter with You out of desire for You and fear of You. There is no shelter nor rescue from You except with You. I have believed in Your Book which You sent down and Your Prophet whom You sent.’ If you die during the night, you will die in natural submission, and if you are still alive in the morning, your morning will be good.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Da’awat, 6; Sahih Muslim, Dhikr, 56).
