Tawakkul Or Qanaat

Book Name:Tawakkul Or Qanaat

humbly requested to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ: O my Lord عَزَّوَجَلَّ! You have created me, therefore bestow the sustenance on me which you have written in my destiny, otherwise seize my soul. A voice was heard from unseen: By My respect and glory! I will not give you sustenance until you go to the inhabited place and sit amongst the people. The pious man went to the inhabited place and sat. Some came to him with food and some with water. He ate and drank (water) well, but felt a doubt. Then a voice was heard from the unseen: Do you want to change My way through your worldly piety? Don’t you know instead of giving people sustenance directly, I like to send sustenance to people through people? (Ihya-ul-‘Uloom, vol. 4, pp. 329)

Similarly, considering your own plan to be everything or depending only on resources, is not absolute trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ at all. The real trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is that one should find resources, make efforts and make a plan, but then he should not trust in these resources, but rather trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ because it is the Divine rule of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ that        He عَزَّوَجَلَّ makes everything done through certain means. Hunger is satisfied when a person eats food. It cannot be satisfied unless a person eats food. Rain only falls when the clouds are in the sky. It does not rain without the clouds.

Absolute trust in Allah in the light of Holy Quran

Dear Islamic brothers! It is a best quality to place absolute trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and hand over the results of all of your matters to Him. We should place such an absolute trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ that whenever we intend to do or begin righteous and permissible work, so instead of keeping our eye only on the resources we should keep our eye on the mercy of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, as resources are temporary and mortal. The Muslim, who trusts Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ in the matters of illness, troubles, difficulties, problems, in short, in every matter, succeeds because by virtue of placing absolute trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ not only does
