Trusting Allah

Tawakkul joins responsible effort with a heart that relies upon Allah for the outcome.

Read slowlyReflect honestlyApply sincerely

Trust is not passivity

Reliance upon Allah means taking lawful and responsible means while knowing that results remain with Him. Planning and tawakkul belong together.

Release the outcome

An anxious heart often tries to control what it cannot. Tawakkul redirects the heart: do what Allah permits and requires, then entrust the unseen result to Him.

Trust grows through remembrance

Remember Allah’s knowledge, wisdom, mercy and power. The more clearly you know Him, the more steadily you can rely upon Him.

Key takeaway

Take responsible action, then entrust the result to Allah.

Put this into practice

Write down one worry. Separate what you can responsibly do today from what you must entrust to Allah.
