pearls of wisdom regarding trust in Allah Almighty and contentment

Dear Islamic brothers! Here are some Madani pearls regarding  trust in Allah Almighty (tawakkul) and contentment (qanāꜤah), but first, here are two statements of the beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم:

 Contentment is a never-ending treasure.[1]

2.   Successful is the one who accepts Islam, is given provision of sufficiency and granted contentment upon that which Allah has provided him with.[2] 

*    Being content is to be pleased with what Allah Almighty has given you whilst refraining from greed.[3]

*    It also means being satisfied when you do not possess everyday items.[4]

*    There are three levels of tawakkul:

1.   Relying upon Allah Almighty.

2.   Surrendering yourself to the command of Allah Almighty.

3.   Entrusting Allah Almighty with all your affairs.[5]
