Tawakkul upon Allah is one of the most important obligations of tawheed
and faith. The worshipper's faith strengthens and his tawheed is
completed, according to the degree of the strength of his dependence of
Allah. The worshipper is compelled to depend upon Allah and seek His aid
in all that he intends to do or avoid doing in his wordly or religious
affairs.
The reality of tawakkul upon Allah is that the
worshipper knows every matter if from Allah. And that whatever Allah
wills will certainly be, and what He does not will cannot be. And that
He is the benefactor, the malefactor, the giver, the withholder, and
that there is no power nor might but by Allah. So after having this
knowledge, his heart depends upon his Lord to bring him the benefit in
his religious and worldly affairs, and to protect him from harm. Then he
has the utmost trust in his Lord to bring about what he seeks. By this
he has made every possible effort for the those means that bring
benefit.
