A letter to one of the commanders of his army.

Pearl of Wisdom

When the Prophet (SAWA) asked him about trusting in Allah, said, '[It is ] to know that a creature can neither harm nor benefit, nor give nor deny [of itself], and it is to display hopelessness from people, so when a servant is such, then he will not do anything for anyone other than Allah, will neither hope nor fear in anyone other than Allah, and will not seek other than Allah this is complete trust.'

The Archangel Gabriel [as]

Letter 4 A letter to one of the commanders of his army.

If our enemies agree to obey us, it will be as I desire, but if they adamantly insist upon dissension and revolt, then be ready to fight against them with the help of your faithful followers. Trust those who have proved themselves faithful. Do not trust and do not count upon the help of those who have proved faithless and disloyal. Remember that the absence of those who do not join us willingly and sincerely is better than their presence in our ranks, and their inactivity and lethargy is better than their participation in our activities.
