Having Good Thoughts of Allāh by Al-Hāfiẓ Ibn Abī Dunyā

Allāh, the Most High, Said:

“If My slaves ask you about Me, I am near. I answer

the call of the caller when he calls on Me. They should therefore respond to Me and

believe in Me so that hopefully they will be rightly guided.” [al-Baqrarah (2):186]

The Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) said: “Allāh, the Exalted, says: ‘I am as My servant thinks of Me.’” Al-Bukhārī , #7405 and Muslim, #2675. 

This book beautifully combines two essential and deeply connected works by Imām Abū Bakr Ibn Abī Dunyā:

• Husn al-Ẓann billāh – Having Good Thoughts of Allāh

• al-Tawakkul – Having True Reliance on Allāh

These two great acts of worship of the heart are interlinked with each other, and

the author covers them quite comprehensively – which every sincere believer must

cultivate in their hearts.

Know that Allāh loves the believers, He wants goodness for them, but the believers must

place true reliance on Him alone and think positively of Him at all times. This work

will mend every broken heart, uplift many souls, and awaken every person wanting

goodness to proceed with love, reliance, care, and devotion to Allāh. You may be

struggling on your journey to Allāh or have begun to tread the path of salvation, or

you may already be on the caravan to the Hereafter – whatever the case, this text will

benefit you greatly. It is truly indispensable for every soul that craves salvation in this

life and the next.
