Tawakkul Trust and Reliance on Allah

The Meaning of Tawakkul on Allah

Tawakkul on Allah means: entrusting matters to Him and relying on Him • in all affairs, and entrusting matters to Allah and not turning to other than Him.
Tawakkul on Allah is in matters of Aqeedab whereby the slave does not turn to other than Allah with his heart; thus he is always relying upon Allah , entrusting his matter to Him in regards to all his affairs.
The polytheists did not commit Shirk and disbelief with Allah except because they placed their Tawakkul in other than Him, and they entrusted their affairs to other than Allah; they believed that other than Allah fulfilled their needs, lightened their worries and repelled harm from them.
Hence they depended on idols, statues, trees, stones, graves, tombs and the dead; relying on the creation in what only Allah has ability to do.

They sought deliverance from them, sacrificed (animals) to them, made vows to them and directed various types of worship to them because they relied on them instead of Allah, and they thought they would benefit them or harm them or carry out their needs; so due to that, they disbelieved in Allah by relying and depending on other than Him and directing their beliefs and acts of worship to other than Him.

Therefore; the foundation of Shirk is placing Tawakkul in other than Allah and depending on other than Him, and due to that, Allah the Most High said:
“…and in Allah put your trust if you are believers indeed” AI-Maa’idah,23
The scholars say: “the advance of ‘and in Allah…’ implies restriction,and that means: place your Tawakkul on Allah and not in anything else.” So Allah. restricted Tawakkul in Him and nothing else. “And in Allah.” meaning: not- in anything else, “put your trust if you are believers indeed” Therefore, He made the sign of faith and Tawheed: Tawakkul on Allah
