***Only Depend On Allah***

[Umm Mohammad]

Ibn Al-Qayyim
stated in
Al-Fawa'id

Do not depend on anything that is lower and weaker than Allah,
as it will bring about evil results and destroy you.

If you depend on your deeds,
He will give you your due reward,

If you depend on knowledge alone,
He will take it away from you,

If you depend on love,
He will cause you to indulge in it,

If you depend on learning alone,
He will make it a means of your destruction,

If you depend on creatures,
He will leave you to them.

Be satisfied with Allah as your Lord and
He will be satisfied with you as His servant
