Tawakkul is a comfortable and beautiful way of thinking, especially in the present time, when there are many reasons and desires.. On the other hand, there are also many sudden and unpleasant results. A person knows that the matter is not in his hands, that judging matters is not in his hands, and achieving interests is not in his hands.. Rather, his entire livelihood is not in his hands, but is linked to external forces.
We are in a time of continuous work and very high competition. All this results in pressures that make the task of searching for places of mental comfort necessary to maintain a healthy mindset. The best resting place is: blaming cause and effect on outside forces. That is why the mind is always looking for a refuge to rely on.. Here comes the term reliance as a comforting term for the human soul.
The important thing is to know that whoever goes in his trust in any direction other than God.. and tends to rely on creatures – whoever they are – has strayed far astray. The way of thinking (reliance) must be based on the absolute belief in a powerful, presiding, destined existence.. and a wise, just, generous, rich God.. there is no other in the heart.. for this is the one who deserves to be relied upon.. because in His hand is the whole matter.. He is God.
Reliance is the highest level of trust in God Almighty.
And this leads to the result: delegating the matter to him and his will and ability. And it was stated in the predecessors, that (reliance is the intercourse of faith), and that it is (the ultimate goal) that a person seeks to reach in order to live a healthy life with a sound mentality.
The beautiful thing is that trust is associated with faith; And the Lord Almighty imposed it on the believers: (And in God let the believers put their trust).
Whoever wants to know the extent of his faith, let him consider the extent of his trust in God alone, Glory be to Him. It is important to bear in mind that the opposite leads to the purpose.. that is: whoever wants to strengthen his faith in God, let him focus in every action and intention on relying on Him alone.. (..and whoever puts his trust in God is sufficient for Him..).
