Why Should I Trust You?

Introduction

Alhamdulillah… All praise and thanks are due to the Almighty Allah, to whom all sorts of protection and trust belong. May his Peace and Blessings be upon the trustworthiest human; Habibi Muhammad, his household, his companions and all those who follow his guided path, till the Day of Judgement.

This piece is a conversation, which has truly taken place between someone, whom I can’t trust and me.

I hope by sharing this conversation, the impact it has left in me, will continue to ring in my head, in a way that will help me fight my own evil, with the help of Allah.

If you find it useful and beneficial, it’s from Allah. If it happens to be the otherwise, it remains a conversation between someone, whom I can’t trust, and me.

Why should I trust you, when all you aim is to damage me and see me end up in the Blaze, with you?
“Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills. And he who associates others with Allah has certainly gone far astray.  They call upon instead of Him none but female [deities], and they [actually] call upon none but a rebellious Satan. Whom Allah has cursed. For he had said, “I will surely take from among Your servants a specific portion. And I will mislead them, and I will arouse in them [sinful] desires, and I will command them so they will slit the ears of cattle, and I will command them so they will change the creation of Allah.” And whoever takes Satan as an ally instead of Allah has certainly sustained a clear loss. Satan promises them and arouses desire in them. But Satan does not promise them except delusion. The refuge of those will be Hell, and they will not find from it an escape. [Qur'an, 4:116-121].
Why should I trust you? I am sorry… I cannot trust you. You and I are not meant to trust each other. Whether or not you trust me, that is your business. But I cannot trust you. You are not a trustworthy.
