The person who appoints a counsel is called muwakkil and the counsel who is entrusted to take care of his affairs is the wakil. Make Allah (S.w.T.) your wakil and Trust all your affairs to Him. This is the meaning of ‘ Fattakhidhuhu wakila - make Him your Wakil’ Belief in Practicing Faith on Unity of Allah (S.w.T.) We have already said that Tawakkul (Trust) depends on knowledge, rapture and action. But the foundation is the knowledge.

Here knowledge means implicit practicing- faith in the Unity of Allah (S.w.T.) that every gain made or loss suffered by the person should be attributed to the Will of Allah (S.w.T.). For such a belief, there must be arguments in support that the foundation of the Faith is firm. Is it possible to derive profits from others than Allah (S.w.T.)? No, never! Every profit accrued is either directly or through Allah (S.w.T.).

Food, clothing and all the paraphernalia of marital life and all the gains of the spiritual life is at Allah (S.w.T.)’s Wish! Observe the Act of Drinking Water Someone gives you a tumbler of water. Where this water has come from? Whose property is it? Who has made it? Who has fetched it? Who has given him the strength to fetch the water? Who has given him the initiative to quench your thirst?

Therefore, if one thinks about a glass of water, he will know that the ultimate provider is none else than Allah (S.w.T.)! The Dress Too is Provided By Allah (S.w.T.) Does the dress that we wear, from its rudimentary state to that when it is ready for use, has any initiator other than Allah (S.w.T.)? Just imagine who has created the cotton? Who made the hands that contribute during the stages of its conversion to fabric? Who gave wisdom to the weavers to develop skills at their trade?

When we seriously think, we realize that: أَلَا إِلَى اللَّهِ تَصِيرُ الأمُورُ …now surely to Allah do all affairs eventually come! (Sura Shura, 42:53) * * It Is Allah (S.w.T.) Who Wards Off Troubles? It is not possible for anyone, other than Allah (S.w.T.), to keep a person out of harms way. Imagine, who gives cure to a person suffering from an ailment? Do the medicaments and the physician give him the cure? Or the real cause of the cure is somewhere else to find?

Who gave the knowledge to the physician? Who controls his faculties of diagnosis? In fact, the real diagnosis comes from Allah (S.w.T.) and the physician is only an instrument for this. Physician or Killer?
