Words of Wisdom
Knowing that one of Allah's names is Al-Aleem (The All-Knowing) should give us comfort and support as we face some of the difficulties and challenges of life. Whatever we are going through, we know that Allah not only knows, but He has the solution and allows us to go through it to make us stronger and better. We have that trust that if we do what He commands, He will take care of us in this world and the next. The dhikr mentioned in the hadith also reminds us that nothing can happen without Allah's permission, and Allah will take care of us and all the things that we may be worried or concerned about.
