What is the concept of having a good opinion of Allah, and does it include worldly and otherworldly matters, or only His mercy and forgiveness? And does a sincere good opinion mean that the servant will obtain what he expects in this world and the hereafter? What are its examples from the Prophets and Companions?
"Good 'Good presumption' concerning Allah is certainty in His promise of His vast generosity and mercy. The believer must hold a good presumption concerning Allah in the answering of supplications, and not despair even if the answer is delayed. For Allah answers in three ways: by hastening the supplication, by storing it for the Hereafter, or by averting an equivalent evil. The supplicant should also examine himself for any impediments to the answer.
Good presumption concerning Allah has two states: 1. In ordinary life: It is accompanied by fear of Allah and righteous deeds; for true good presumption exists with beneficence and obedience. As for evil deeds, they do not combine with good presumption; rather, that is delusion. 2. At the time of death: The servant should prioritize good presumption concerning Allah, hoping for His mercy and forgiveness, as nothing remains for him but hope."
