ভূমিকা

Fears, doubts and pride are the traits of those who are weak in their Faith. Mu’min is never swayed in any circumstances because the reservoir of the strength of his heart is from Allah (S.w.T.). The result of Practicing Faith on Tawhid, Unity of Allah (S.w.T.), is that in matters of fear, hope and on occasions of confusion, the Trust on Allah (S.w.T.) ( Tawakkul) is redoubled and the faith of the Mu’min is further strengthened.

Trust on Allah (S.w.T.) is Intellectually Binding Mu’min trusting on Allah (S.w.T.) is doubtlessly justified. Even when matters are in his control, there should be implicit trust on Allah (S.w.T.). Only saying that one trusts Allah (S.w.T.) is not sufficient. Saying ‘alayhi tawakkaltu wa ilayhi uneeb’ or ‘ Uffawidhu amri ilallah’, that is one leaves all his affairs to the trust of Allah (S.w.T.) is not sufficient.

But for this there is necessity of Haal (rapture) and the state of dedication of the heart. One should remain steadfast on the three aspects of *Tawakkul - ‘Ilm (*knowledge), haal (rapture) and ‘amal (action). The foundation is no doubt laid on Ilm and the reality that is achieved through ‘Amal (action) is Haal or rapturously, and elatedly trusting on Allah (S.w.T.) in all the affairs.

How is it Possible to be Mutawakkil or Resigned to the Will of Allah (S.w.T.) What is the reality of Tawakkul and how to achieve that? The root of the word Tawakkul (Trust) is Wakala (counsel or representation).
