Having Good Thoughts of Allah

The shaikh, Dr. Muḥammad ibn Ghālib Al-ʿUmarī, may Allah protect him, said:

Having good thoughts of Allah means that:

  • when you call upon Him, you know that He will answer you;
  • when you ask for His forgiveness, that He will forgive you;
  • when you ask Him to suffice you, that He will suffice you;
  • when you turn to Him for refuge, He will ensure you are protected;
  • and when you come [back] to Him, repentant, He will accept you.

Ibn Masʿūd, may Allah be pleased with him, said:

“By the One other than whom none have the right to be worshipped, no believing servant has been given anything better than having good thoughts of Allah, the Most High.”

O Allah, bestow upon us good thoughts of You that fill our hearts entirely. Aameen!
