Is the saying "This is a message from our Lord to me regarding a specific matter" correct, and how can one verify that it is a divine message?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Allah Almighty sends messages to His servants through His divine laws, His cosmic signs, His actions, and His decrees. These messages, whether they are afflictions that remind one of sins and shortcomings, or successes that remind one of gratitude and His servitude, aim to guide the servant to increase his efforts and obedience. When the servant understands these messages and acts accordingly, it is said metaphorically that it is a message from Allah. People vary in their understanding of these wisdoms, and whoever is given understanding can perceive some of them, which increases his faith and devotion to Allah.
