Absolutely, your statement is a profound and accurate reflection of the true meaning of "husn al-ẓann billāh" (having good expectations of Allah) in Islam.
The True Essence of Good Expectations of Allah
Good expectations of Allah are a cornerstone of faith, fostering hope, reliance, and peace of mind. However, this concept is often misunderstood. The core of your statement highlights the crucial distinction:
- Good expectations of Allah lead to righteous actions: When a believer truly has good expectations of Allah, it means they believe in His immense mercy, forgiveness, and reward for those who strive in His path. This belief motivates them to perform good deeds, worship diligently, and avoid sins, hoping for His acceptance and recompense. They understand that Allah's promises are for those who work towards them, not for those who are idle.
- Misguided expectations of Allah are delusion (ghurūr): If someone interprets good expectations of Allah as an excuse for laziness (baṭālah), neglecting duties, or engaging in sins (maʿāṣī) with the assumption that Allah will forgive them regardless of their actions, then this is not true good expectation; it is delusion (ghurūr). This misguided belief can lead to spiritual ruin, as it contradicts the very principles of accountability and divine justice in Islam. Allah's mercy is vast, but it is also intertwined with His wisdom and justice, requiring effort and repentance from His servants.
In essence, authentic good expectations of Allah empower believers to strive for excellence in their worship and daily lives, driven by love, hope, and awe of their Creator. It is an active, not a passive, state of faith.
