And there is this relationship with fixing things that I wanna speak about today, and I wanna be very clear that it's a little bit different from how we talk about, for example, uh, amal, actions and niyyah, and the idea of intention.
"Innamal amaalu bin niyyaat," as the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam taught us, actions are by intentions, but the way you pursue those actions shows the sincerity and the depth of your intention.
Right? Someone can say, "You know, I intend to go to the masjid," but they don't really have the willpower behind that intention.
There might be a little bit of sincerity there that, yeah, I really intended to go to the masjid, but the very first excuse that I find, or I'm just not feeling like it, never mind.
There wasn't enough azima, there wasn't enough determination to fill that intention.
So not all intentions are the same, but there is a relationship between the intention and the deed.
Likewise, when we talk about the concept of tawakkul in Islam, the concept of trusting Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, relying upon Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, there is a relationship between Al-Akhdul Asbab, taking the means and relying upon Allah.
That you taking the means is you doing your part, and then you rely upon Allah.
So when the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam talks to us about the way the bird goes out in the morning and comes back with its stomach full, the bird spreads its wings, but Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, ma yumsikuhunna illa ar-rahman.
But this particular concept, and I only use these examples because they're more common analogies, I wanna talk about the idea of fixing things.
How do you fix broken relationships? How do you fix a broken heart? How do you fix a situation where you're not able to find your next pathway? You're not able to find what you're supposed to be doing.
How do you find the balance between dua and deeds when things need repair, when things need to be fixed? And Subhanallah is reflecting on two ayat in the Quran that talk about two different situations, but the wording is almost identical, and the equation is in fact identical.
