Weakness Emboldens the Enemy; Allah the Most High May Try His Servants, but They May Not Try Him
O fearful, weak one! Your fear and weakness are in vain and cause you harm; they embolden outside influences and attract them.
O you who suffers from doubts and delusions! Definite benefits may not be sacrificed for imaginary harms. What you need is action; the result is with Allah the Most High.
One may not interfere in Allah the Most High’s concerns. He draws His servant to the arena of trial and says: “If you do that, I’ll do this.”
But the servant can never try Allah the Most High. If he says: “Allah should help, so I’ll do this,” he is overstepping his mark.
Satan said to Jesus: “Since it is He Who does everything; His determining does not change. Throw yourself down off the mountain and let’s see what happens to you.”
Jesus replied: “Confound you! Allah the Most High’s servants cannot put Him to the test!”
