… only in the remembrance of Allah can the heart find peace. (Surat ar-Ra‘d: 28). In other words, only when we understand the mercy and blessings He bestows upon His servants and believe in Him can we escape unhappiness and boredom, and thereby enjoy real pleasure in this life and appreciate the value of beautiful things

Prayer is the key to destiny, and the Prophet's examples in the Qur'an show how Allah has answered their prayers with miraculous outcomes. When Muslims pray with love and determination, and embrace natural causes, Allah will heed their prayers and their desired outcomes will come to fruition. This is a secret mystery of Allah that not many people are aware of. Prophets Abraham and Jacob (peace be upon them all) persist in prayer. This episode speaks of Allah's power to make the "impossible" a reality and encourages prayer as the key to destiny.

It references several prophets, including Moses, Jonah, Abraham, Zechariah and Muhammad (peace be upon them all) to highlight how Allah has helped them despite impossible situations.

Muslims should pray with absolute faith, knowing that Allah may respond with mercy and make their wishes come true. The Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) instructed his people to have faith in Allah and to pray with powerful conviction for their needs to be met. According to the Prophet, Allah will always answer His people's prayers if they are sincere. Therefore, trusting in Allah and praying is a sure way to receive Allah's blessings.

By surrendering to God and trusting in His destiny, one can live a life free of worries, fears, unhappiness and depression. Trusting and surrendering to God's destiny is a great comfort for those aware of His infinite knowledge. Every person, moment, and detail of their life is predetermined by God, and those who accept this can live without fear, unhappiness, or depression. Each moment, even the smallest, is part of a larger plan and has great wisdom in it.

Believers have no need to worry, as God's destiny for them will always be the best. Destiny is something that is created by God and is out of a person's control. Believers are content with their destiny, understanding that everything that happens to them is for the best. No matter what moment they are in, they put their trust in God and understand He has the Sole Power. They accept that even difficult moments are part of their destiny and appreciate it for its ability to lead to blessings and beauties.

An example of this is Prophet Joseph (peace be upon him) who stayed in prison for many years, yet he was content with this destiny as he was hopeful for God's pleasure and help. Trust in God and surrender to His destiny is essential for a righteous life. Believers understand the infinite power and friendship of God, and trust and surrender to Him is the natural path to follow. Without this, a person will suffer the weight of life's problems and worries. The words of God bring comfort and peace of mind despite the difficulties of life, and those who trust in Him will enjoy protection and never fear the moment.

For Allah's true servants, the basic aim of their lives is Allah's good pleasure. Believers are people who know very well that it was Allah Who created them from nothing and Who is the giver of everything and the owner and sole controller of everything, that all events occur through Allah's will and that He is the bringer of both mercy and torment. Because of this the devotion and loyalty of the believers to Allah and their love of Him are very strong.

Throughout their lives believers worship only Allah, ask for help from Him alone and fear none but Him. Due to this powerful love and devotion they feel for Allah they always behave gratefully towards Him and never slacken in serving Him. They show great enthusiasm and determination in their striving to earn His approval.
