(In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful)
Islam requires of the Muslim, first and foremost, that he be a true and sincere believer in Allah, closely connected to Allah, constantly remembering Allah and putting his trust in Allah, while making the effort to help himself.
The Muslims should feel in the depths of his soul that he is in constant need of the help and support of Allah, NO MATTER HOW MUCH HE MAY THINK HE CAN DO FOR HIMSELF.
The true and sincere Muslim is alert and open-minded to the magnificence of Allah's creation. He knows that it is Almighty Allah controls the affairs of the universe and of mankind.
He recognizes the signs of Allah's unlimited power in every aspect of creation, and so his faith in Allah increases, he remembers Allah constantly and puts his trust in Allah.
"Behold! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of Night and Day, there are indeed Signs for men of understanding, men who celebrate the praises of Allah, standing, sitting and lying down on their sides, and contemplate the (wonders of) creation in the heavens and the earth, (with the thought): 'Our Lord! Not for naught have You created (all) this! Glory to You! Give us salvation from the Penalty of the Fire.' " (Al-Quran: Al-Imran 190-191)
