Tawakkul Or Qanaat

Book Name:Tawakkul Or Qanaat

Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ protect and help him, but by virtue of its blessing He عَزَّوَجَلَّ also blesses him with favours and honours. In Ayah 3 of Surah At-Talaaq, part 28 Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has stated:

وَ مَنْ یَّتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللّٰهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهٗؕ-

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: And whoever relies on Allah, so Allah is Sufficient for him.

And Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has stated (in part 4 Surah Aal-e-‘Imran, Ayah 159):

 

اِنَّ  اللّٰهَ  یُحِبُّ  الْمُتَوَكِّلِیْنَ(۱۵۹)

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: Indeed Allah loves those who trust (in Him).

 

In ‘Ihya-ul-‘Uloom’, regarding these blessed Ayahs Sayyiduna Imam Muhammad Ghazali رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: How great is the status of that person who has the privilege of Divine love and he gets the assurance of sufficiency from Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. So that person has really achieved a great success, on whom  Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ bestows sufficiency, loves him and favours him. Because the one who is beloved, neither suffers torment, nor is far and nor is he hidden.

(Ihya-ul-‘Uloom, vol. 4, pp. 300)

At another location in the Holy Quran, those having absolute trust in         Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, have been declared as perfect believers. Therefore, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has stated in part 9, Surah Al-Anfaal, Ayah 2:

 

اِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ الَّذِیْنَ اِذَا ذُكِرَ اللّٰهُ وَ جِلَتْ قُلُوْبُهُمْ وَ اِذَا تُلِیَتْ عَلَیْهِمْ اٰیٰتُهٗ زَادَتْهُمْ اِیْمَانًا وَّ عَلٰى رَبِّهِمْ یَتَوَكَّلُوْنَۚۖ(۲)

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: Only they are believers whose hearts fear when Allah is remembered, and their faith increases when His Ayahs are recited to them, and who trust only in their Lord.
