Allah (Alone) is Sufficient for us

“Hasbunallahu wa ni`mal Wakil’:
حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ

Allah (Alone) is Sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer of affairs (for us).”                                 آل عمران‎ : Surah Al ‘Imran (3:173)

Such a powerful ayah, it was recited by the prophets (P.B.U.H.) in the time of distress. This single verse very simply and strongly defines our submission to the Almighty with an unconditional trust in his doing.

Narrated Ibn Abbas:

'Allah is Sufficient for us and He Is the Best Disposer of affairs," was said by Abraham when he was thrown into the fire; and it was said by Muhammad 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, for us)." (3.173)
