He should definitely make efforts to acquire the worldly comforts but he should not go near prohibited things. When a person’s attorney wants him to bring all his documents to the court, can he refuse to do that? When he has thought that he is incapable of handling his case himself, he has retained the attorney. Then he has to trust him and proceed according to the advice tendered by him. Essential to Have a Wakil or Attorney O man!

You are helpless and cannot be successful in this world nor in the hereafter on your own! If you have trust in a power, then in times of trouble you will not be shaky because your Wakil is there to help you. Don’t you recite in a supplication after your daily prayers ( Ta’qeeb ) the following words: “ Tawakkaltu ‘alal hayyil ladhi la yamoot” (I trust my affairs to the Ever Living and Undying Allah). He is the Greatest Wakil and the best help - Ni’m al-Wakil, ni’m al-Mawla wa ni’m an-Naseer.

* * Satan Runs Away From The Mutawakkil or the One Resigned to the Will of Allah (S.w.T.) It has been narrated that when a person stirs out of his house in the morning, the satans will be waiting for him at the threshold. But when he steps out of the house and says, “ Aamantu billahi tawakkaltu ‘alal laahi – I believe in Allah and I place my trust on Allah.” Then the satans will slink away. These words can be said in any language, it doesn’t matter.

The words are a support for the heart and surety for the life of the person. It is a fact that if you trust your Wakil, He is Omnipotent and can keep away from you all difficulties and hardships. He will help you get all the profits that He deems are legitimate. There is none more generous and powerful than Allah (S.w.T.). Ibn Zubair’s Rebellion After the Event of Karbala At this juncture I remember a tradition quoted in the Usūl al-Kafi.

Abdullah Bin Zubair, who was one of the sworn enemies of the Progeny of the Prophet (S), and even in the sermon of the Friday prayers he avoided saying the Durood (benediction) on the Prophet (S). When people protested against this practice, he said, “Benediction on the Prophet (S) is void without reference to his progeny.

But if I refer to his progeny in the sermon, then many will lose their necks!” Coming back to the main subject: after the event of Karbala, Abdullah bin Zubair rose in rebellion in Mecca al-Mukarrama and made a claim for the Caliphate. Some groups from Iraq joined him and slightly improved his strength.
