Summary

He stresses that Muslims must believe that God has power over all things. Protection from calamity is sought through supplication and effort, after which the outcome is entrusted to God.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
amat perlu untuk kita meyakini Allahlah yang berkuasa atas tiap sesuatu kecuali kita berdoa dan berusaha kemudian menyerahkan keputusannya kepada-Nya.
