Meaning of Hasbi Allaho Wa Naima Al Wakeel
Mu' meneen Brothers
and Sisters,
As Salaam Aleikum wa
Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be
upon all of you)
One of our
brothers/sisters has asked this question:
What does " Hasbi Allaho Wa Naima Al Wakeel" mean and should it be recited to avert any clamity or misfortune thus seeking Allah`s help?
(There may be some
grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not
change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our
readers for circulation in confidentiality.)
Answer:
In the name of Allah, We praise
Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can
misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We
bear witness that there is no one (no idol,
no person, no grave, no
prophet, no imam, no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
" Hasbi Allaho Wa Naima Al
Wakeel" is a Quranic term which means “Allah is Sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer of Affairs.”
Allah says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 3 Surah Ale-Imran verse 173: Men said to them: "A great army is
gathering against you": and frightened them: but it (only) increased their
faith. They (the believers) said:
"Allah is Sufficient for us,
and He is the Best Disposer of Affairs."
Sahih Al-Bukhari
Hadith 6.86 Narrated by Ibn Abbas
'Allah is
Sufficient for us and He Is the Best Disposer of Affairs," was said by
Abraham (a.s.) when he was thrown into
the fire; and it was said by Prophet
Muhammad (saws) when they (i.e. hypocrites) said, "A great army is
gathering against you, therefore, fear them," but it only increased their
faith and they said: "Allah is Sufficient for us, and He is the Best
Disposer of Affairs." (3.173)
Whenever a believer is faced
with a seemingly insurmountable calamity,
he should take the example of the noble Prophets Ibrahim (a.s.) and
Mohamed (saws), and recite this blessed declaration which will
keep his faith and trust firm in the All-Mighty Lord.
Whatever written of Truth and
benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error
is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He
is the Only Source of Strength.
Your Brother in
Islam,
