Let us take another example. A person gets sick. The apparent means that he will adopt are to get the advise of a doctor and follow his prescription. Again, a disbeliever who does not believe in Allah will place reliance on the doctor and the medicine he had suggested. However, the advise if the Holy Prophet (pbuh) to a believer is that all though he may adopt ask the means available to him yet he must not depend on them to cure him. He must place his faith in Allah who is the one to cure. If he will not make the medicine and other means effective then these will not cure him. We know that a medicine cures a sick person but the same medicine is detrimental to another patient who suffers the same sickness as the first. This is because only Allah makes the medicine effective. If he wills, he may put cure in a pinch of dust, and if he wills, he may render the most costly medicine efficacious.
The Holy Prophet (pbuh) had taught us, as we have seen, that while we may employ the means, wet must not count on them to help us but we must have full faith in Allah. We must pray to him:
"Oh Allah! I have done the best I could by contriving as I could. Oh Allah! Only you can give efficacy to make my efforts. Only you can make me successful. Oh Allah! Make them efficacious and make me successful. "
