Ramadan 2022 - The Manners of The Believers #11 - Being Optimistic & Exuding Optimism

Of the characteristics of the believer is that not only is he an optimist, he exudes a confidence and hope in all those around him so that they too become optimistic. This optimism stems from his strong faith in Allah and the ḥusn al-dhann he has in Him.The believer things the best thoughts of Allah and knows that the plan of Allah will always be for his best. And because of this, the Prophet (SAW) actually wanted us to read in positive omens and extract Divine cues from all types of occurrences around us - as if the random acts of nature and haphazard occurrences are not actually random or haphazard, but instead all a part of a Divine Plan that is meant to inspire us and give us confidence in Allah's qadr. Hence why the Prophet (SAW) said, 'There is no such thing as evil omens, but I like al-fa'al: a good word [that gives optimism].' [Al-Bukhari].
