Hadith: ..if you seek help, seek help from Allah

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim



In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

The Prophet sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam did not like to ask for anything, whether he asked for it verbally or by longing in the heart. According to a sahih hadith he said:

“Whoever wants to be independent, Allah will make him independent. Whoever wants not to have to ask people for anything, Allah will help him be free of that. Whoever wants to be patient, Allah will give him patience. Nobody has been given anything better and more abundant than patience.”

[Al-Bukhari, Muslim, Malik, Abu Dawud, al-Nisai’i and al-Tirmidhi]

And the Prophet sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam said to Ibn ‘Abbas:

“If you must ask for anything, ask Allah, and if you seek help, seek help from Allah.”

[Al-Tirmidhi, Ahmad and al-Hakim]

The Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa'sallam said:


"The Muslim is a unique Ummah among the whole of mankind:

Their Land is ONE, their War is ONE, their Peace is ONE,

Their Honour is ONE and their Trust is ONE."

[Ahmad]
