Faith

In desperation he reached out and grabbed a limb of a gnarly old tree hanging onto the side of the cliff.

Full of fear he assessed his situation. He was about 100 feet down a shear cliff and about 900 feet from the floor of the canyon below. If he should slip again he'd plummet to his death.

Full of fear, he cries out, "Help me!" But there was no answer.

Again and again he cried out but to no avail. Finally he yelled, "Is anybody up there?"
A deep voice replied, "Yes, I'm up here."
"Who said that?"
"It's the Lord."
"Can you help me?"
"Yes, I can help. Have faith in me."
"Help me!"
"Just let go."
Looking around the man became full of panic. "What?!?!"
"Have faith in me. Let go. I will catch you."
"Uh... Is there anybody else up there?"

I head a similar story to this, where the man decided to hold on and then a few days later a group of travellers passing by found him dead.

We should always put our trust in Allah, even before ourselves.May Allah سبحانه وتعالى guide us to have the ability to do that.
Ameen.

Remember me in your duaas.
