Let Them And Let Allah

By Halimah Jordan

"Let Them -- And Let Allah" is a journey of learning to relinquish control and trust in the Divine. In this uplifting book, Halimah Jordan guides readers through ten key areas of life where letting go can lead to profound inner peace -- from dealing with others' judgments and gossip, to coping with betrayal and life's unexpected twists. Drawing on Quranic wisdom, Hadith, and real-life reflections, each chapter offers gentle insights, reflection prompts to ponder, and heartfelt duas (prayers) to help cement a trusting relationship with Allah. The floral motifs throughout create a soothing backdrop, symbolizing growth and serenity. Whether you are struggling with personal relationships or simply seeking a calmer heart in a chaotic world, "Let Them -- And Let Allah" teaches that when you stop trying to control the actions of others ( let them ), and instead focus on your faith and actions ( "let Allah" take charge of results), you set yourself free. This book is an invitation to breathe, release, and let Allah's plan unfold -- a reminder that there is relief in reliance and power in patience. Embrace the liberating mindset within these pages and discover the peace that comes from truly saying, "I trust You, O Allah." The "Let Them" theory as popularized by Mel Robbins and an original poem by Cassie Phillips emphasizes emotional boundaries and letting go of the need to control others' actions, decisions, or perceptions. In many ways, this idea aligns with Islamic teachings about personal responsibility, trust in Allah (tawakkul), and the importance of sincerity in one's own actions (ikhlas), rather than focusing on others' behavior. Islam teaches that each person is responsible for their own soul. Allah says in the Qur'an: "That no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another." (Surah Al-An'am, 6:164) This verse reminds us that we are not held accountable for others' decisions or actions. If someone chooses a certain path, our responsibility is to advise kindly and with wisdom (da'wah), but not to force or control. Islam teaches us to trust in Allah's plan (Tawakkul) and leave what is beyond our control to Him. Trying to control others often comes from fear or anxiety. "...And rely upon Allah; and sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs." Practicing "letting them" make their own choices is a form of tawakkul--it means we do our part, with sincerity, and leave the outcome to Allah. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us to avoid unnecessary disputes and to maintain peace. If someone wants to leave your life or behave in a way that isn't aligned with your values, Islam encourages patience (sabr) and avoiding fitnah (chaos or conflict). "...And speak to people good [words]..."-- (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:83) Letting go, in this sense, can be a form of maintaining dignity and inner peace, which is highly valued in Islam. A key part of Islamic ethics is focusing on your own intentions and actions. You aren't judged by how others react, but by what's in your heart. So, when you adopt the "let them" mindset, it doesn't mean you stop caring, but that you shift your focus to what you can control: your response, your character, and your reliance on Allah.
