One day Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) noticed a Bedouin leaving his camel without tying it and he asked the Bedouin, “Why don’t you tie down your camel?” The Bedouin answered, “I put my trust in Allah.” The Prophet then said, “Tie your camel first, then put your trust in Allah” (At-Tirmidhi).
Sometimes we can very easily forget that we have to do our bit in our endeavours as well; effort and struggle is required from us if we truly want to achieve or attain something…….. (A reminder for myself first and foremost)

Thanks Sid!
The process(es) we go through in order to achieve something are important even though we may not like them. It isn’t easy but as you say we need to get through it to achieve what we want. Nothing is difficult for God Almighty to give. But the process is where our pruning occurs and we grow into better human beings.

Wasalams Taz apa!
Thanks for your message and you’re right to point that out. I was also reminded that part of the tying is in our duah 🙂
Peace!
