"حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ"

 Translation: "Allah is enough for us and He is the Best Protector."

Meaning and Context:

This phrase is a declaration of complete reliance on Allah and is used especially in times of hardship, fear, or uncertainty. It expresses trust in Allah's wisdom, power, and protection.

Origin in Hadith:

According to the hadith mentioned (Sahih Bukhari 4563), Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated:

Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) said this when he was thrown into the fire by his people for rejecting their idols. Despite the apparent danger, he placed his trust solely in Allah.

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companions also said this during a time of severe threat. When hypocrites tried to spread fear by warning them of enemy forces gathering, instead of feeling intimidated, their faith increased. They responded by affirming:

“Hasbunallāhu wa niʿmal Wakīl.”


This is reflected in the Qur'anic verse (Surah Aal Imran 3:173).

Lessons and Reflection:

1. Trust in Adversity: The phrase is a reminder to remain steadfast and turn to Allah when facing trials.


2. Spiritual Strength: Declaring this with conviction can strengthen the heart and reduce anxiety.


3. Prophetic Example: Both Ibrahim and Muhammad (peace be upon them) showed unwavering faith during the gravest trials—an example for all believers.


Practical Use:


You can say this phrase when:


You feel overwhelmed or afraid.


You're uncertain about the future.


You seek comfort and protection.
