The Husn azh-Zhan of the Salik
بِسۡمِ
ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Shaykh Najm
ad-Din Abu al-Jannab Ahmad ibn ‘Umar al-Kubra’
(q.s.) said that the salik should have good faith, husn
azh-zhan, in Allah (s.w.t.).
And He Said, in a hadits qudsi, “I Treat My servant in accordance
with his opinion of Me, so let him have whatever opinion he has.” Therefore, it is necessary for a servant of
Allah (s.w.t.) to have good faith in Allah (s.w.t.), or a
favourable opinion of Him. This state is
reached as a result of discerning the Attributes of Beauty of Allah (s.w.t.),
comprising Generosity, Mercifulness, Magnanimity and the Vastness of His
Forgiveness. Whoever mistrusts Allah (s.w.t.),
or has an unfavourable opinion of his Lord, and loses hope in His Mercy,
considers his vices and sins bigger than the capacity of Allah’s (s.w.t.)
Generosity and Mercy. This amounts to
ascribing defect and shortcoming to Allah (s.w.t.).
