We have all heard the famous hadith about to tie your camel. Do you understand the important lesson behind it?

A bedouin once left his camel without tying it up. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: “Why don’t you tie your camel?” the bedouin said: “I put my trust in Allah.” Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: “Tie your camel first and then put your trust in Allah.”

The important lesson from this hadith reported by At-Tirmidhi is we should take all precautions first. Then we leave it all to Allah.

This is the same in the pandemic. We must take all the precautions first to keep well. Then we leave the rest to Allah.
