Summary
Muslims are required to always hold good thoughts about Allah in all matters and circumstances, whether in ease or hardship. When given provision, a person should reflect on its wisdom and show gratitude, including by paying zakat and giving charity. When facing calamity or when a prayer is not granted, one should be convinced that there is wisdom behind it and accept Allah's decree with contentment. Good thoughts about Allah are shown through gratitude for blessings and patience in trials.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Umat Islam hendaklah sentiasa bersangka baik dengan Allah SWT dalam segala urusan dan keadaan, maka Allah SWT akan melimpahkan kebaikan yang banyak, kurniaan, kelebihan serta pelbagai pemberian.
