Tawakkul— Letting Allah Take Hold

What is Tawakkul?

The first part of the dua of Ibrahim alayhi salam gives us the first point of tawakkul- Hasbi Allah— Allah is sufficient for me.

The first and most important thing to understand in life, in all spheres of life and at all times, is that no matter what we think, Allah alone is sufficient for us. When this realization takes over, we know that no matter where the situation gets, He alone is enough for us, and He is the only One we need.

The second part is understanding our neediness before Allah. It is understanding that while we are reading this at home, we are in as much need of Allah as the one who is drowning and his heart desperately calling out for help.
It is understanding that the starving child who doesn’t know if he will have food for the next meal is in as much need of Allah as us who have five days’ worth of food in our fridge!

The third part is understanding that whatever Allah does is good for us, whether we perceive it or not.
Yusuf alayhi salam was thrown into a well. It was wrong. He was picked up and sold into slavery.
It was preposterous! His master’s wife tried to seduce him, and when he refused, he was put into prison! It was blatant injustice. And yet, all of it was good for him! And that is why later when Yusuf alayhi salam became the King of Egypt, he remarked that Allah was “ al-Lateef” towards Him. Al- Lateef is the One who is subtle.

He is the One who brings benefit to His slave in a way that the slave can never perceive. He is the One who is doing good for His slave, while the world thinks the slave is being punished! Understanding that Allah is enough for us, that we are in need of Him and that whatever He will allow to happen is good for us are the foundations of trusting in Him. How can you not have trust in the One who is enough for you? Of whom you are in perpetual need of? And the One who will only allow good to happen to you?

Tawakkul is to follow the commands of Allah even when disobeying Him seems easier.
Tawakkul is to believe that He will grant us paradise for choosing Him over the fleeting pleasures of this world.

Tawakkul is to entrust our affairs
to Allah and be content knowing that He will take care of us. Tawakkul is to know that all will be well, even if things look impossible.
Tawakkul is knowing that at the end of the tunnel there is light, even if we don’t see it. Tawakkul is understanding that when Allah shields something from us, He is actually redirecting us to something better. Tawakkul is among the biggest keys that cause miracles to happen in our lives. Tawakkul is among the most beautiful fruits of the tree of la ilaha illa Allah.
.
We ask Allah that He makes us from among those who have Tawakkul in Him. Among the ways to increase our tawakkul is to know Allah. Knowing Allah is best done by knowing His book. And to understand His book better
