Completely!

"Sesungguhnya di sisi Allah ilmu tentang hari kiamat, dan Dia yang menurunkan hujan dan yang mengetahui apa yang ada di dalam rahim. Dan tiada seorang pun yang dapat mengetahui (dengan pasti) apa yang akan dikerjakan esok. Dan tidak ada seorang pun yang dapat mengetahui bumi mana dia akan mati. Sesungguhnya, Allah Maha Mengetahui, lagi amat meliputi pengetahuanNya."
[Surah Luqman 31:34] 

The truth is, none of us have the ability to know exactly what will happen tomorrow. Today you're rich, tomorrow you're poor. Today you live in a nice home, tomorrow you're homeless. You have great parents today, tomorrow one of them, or both of them are gone. You have children today but tomorrow some of them will go because Allah will take them away. Because that's the nature of this life.

And whenever you begin to hold onto things in this life, Allah lets you know that nothing is permanent but Him. And so all your life, you learn to love things. And as soon as you get real close, Allah snatches away from you. Just to let you always know to remember to be humble. And that you always put your trust in Allah. Not money. Not material things. But in Allah.
