Having Good Thoughts of Allāh
The shaikh, Dr. Muḥammad ibn Ghālib Al-ʿUmarī, may Allāh protect him, said:
Having good thoughts of Allāh means that:
- when you call upon Him, you know that He will answer you;
- when you ask for His forgiveness, that He will forgive you;
- when you ask Him to suffice you, that He will suffice you;
- when you turn to Him for refuge, He will ensure you are protected;
- and when you come [back] to Him, repentful, He will accept you.
Ibn Masʿūd, may Allāh be pleased with him, says: “By the One other than whom none have the right to be worshiped, no believing slave has been given anything better than [his] having good thoughts of Allāh the All-High ….
O Allāh, [bestow upon us] good thoughts of You that fill up our hearts [entirely].

معنى حسن الظن بالله
أنك إذا دعوته تظن أنه يجيبك
وإذا استغفرته يغفر لك
وإذا استكفيت به كفاك
وإذا لجأت إليه آواك
وإذا جئته تائبا قبلك
يقول ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه: "والذي لا إله غيره ما أعطي عبد مؤمن شيئا خيرا من حسن الظن بالله تعالى".
