Trust Upon Allah (Tawakkal)

Divine teachings on complete reliance on Allah

Meaning of Tawakkal

The Arabic word tawakkal (توکل) is translated in English as 'trust' and in Urdu as 'بھروسا' transliterated bharosa, yet neither fully capture its essence. Tawakkal is distinctly specific to the Essence of Allah. It cannot be expressed for an individual. Tawakkal is exclusively reserved for Allah.

Achieving Tawakkal

Trust upon Allah is achieved when everything besides Allah is renounced. It is considered the foundation of Faqr and it is the first lesson taught by the spiritual guide.

Divine Love

Love for Allah demands that He should be trusted completely, and everything and every matter must be handed over to Him, even one's own existence.

Material Equality

When a slave of Allah truly trusts Him then gold, silver and dust become equal for him. A person must not just expect from Allah rather he must trust Him.

Honor and Disgrace

Honour and disgrace are both from Allah, hence for His devotee both are blessings. Respect in this life may lead to disgrace in the hereafter and the disgrace in this world may bring honour in the hereafter.

True Provider

The person whose faith is weak and who does not trust Allah, is always looking for legitimate or illegitimate ways of earning livelihood instead of focusing his attention on Allah Almighty.

Divine Blessings

Trusting in Allah does not necessarily increase sustenance but grants beatitude which is better than mere increase. Allah is the Provider for everyone, if you truly trust Him in matters of sustenance, there will be blessings in your provision.

Unexpected Provision

Those who trust Allah, He provides them sustenance from the most unexpected sources. When a person faces some problem and tries to solve it in some way along with trusting upon Allah, He solves it in such a manner that the person has not even imagined.

Self-Sufficiency

Self-sufficiency (استغنا) is a state of non-dependence on others and is achieved by having unwavering trust upon Allah. It involves a mindset free from concern about others' affluence, choosing instead to place expectations only with Allah, the ultimate Provider.
