A Basic Illustration of Tawakkul

One of the most principal points of support for Muslims is the idea of Tawakkul, which is frequently characterized as trust and dependence in Allah. Be that as it may, many individuals misjudge the idea of Tawakkul. They see Tawakkul as a uninvolved, verbal trademark which basically includes petitioning to Allah for what we need.



Notwithstanding, there's an occurrence from Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) life that shows a reasonable viewpoint on Tawakkul.


One day the Courier of Allah (PBUH) saw a 'bedouin' (desert Middle Easterner) leaving his camel without tying it, and he asked the man, "How about you secure your camel?" The 'bedouin' replied, "I put my confidence in Allah." The Courier of Allah (PBUH) then, at that point, said, "Tie your camel first, then put your confidence in Allah." (Tirmidhi)

To show genuine Tawakkul, we need to do our part first. For instance, despite the fact that we accept Allah is the Provider of Life (Al-Muhyi) and The Defender/Preserver/Watchman (Al-Hafiz), we need to take the essential wellbeing safety measures to hold ourselves back from falling wiped out, like cleaning up and working out. We additionally accept Allah is The Supplier (Ar-Razzaq), yet we actually need to go out and invest the energy to make pay. We don't anticipate that cash should simply tumble from the sky.


Along these lines, on the off chance that you or I are not doing our part — in the event that we're not investing energy toward our objectives through our activities, then we're not showing genuine Tawakkul.

The illustrations from this occurrence are that Tawakkul incorporates:


Carving out opportunity to design appropriately

Making a move on that arrangement

Showing Sabr (patient tirelessness and perseverance) by keeping up with our confidence in Allah and remaining unfaltering in our activities

Tawakkul implies making a move and entrusting Allah with the consequences of our activity.

Insha'Allah may Allah make every one of us individuals of Tawakkul. I might want to end by expressing that whatever right I have expressed comes from Allah. Notwithstanding, whatever off-base I have expressed comes from me and I request your pardoning in the event that I entirely misunderstand said anything. Jazak Allah Khair!
