Surah Al-Isra — Ayah 2 (17:2)

English translation (Saheeh International)

And We gave Moses the Scripture and made it a guidance for the Children of Israel that you not take other than Me as Disposer of affairs,¹

1. - i.e., trust in Allāh, knowing that He (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) is responsible for every occurrence.

Brief commentary

I gave Moses (peace be upon him) the Torah and I made it a guide and manual for the Israelites. I said to the Israelites: Do not take besides me any guardian to whom you entrust your affairs. Rather, place your reliance in Me alone.
