Tawakkul means putting
in one’s best efforts—leaving no stone unturned, and then putting one’s trust
in Allah and not in one’s own efforts or availability of the means one has,
because whatever the outcome, it comes about only with the approval and decree
of Allah and not otherwise. It is reported that one day Prophet Muhammad (SAW)
noticed a Bedouin leaving his camel without tying it and he asked the Bedouin,
“Why don’t you tie down your camel?” The Bedouin answered, “I put my trust in
Allah.” The Prophet then said, “Tie your camel first, then put your trust in
Allah.”
To
work and to strive is within the ability and the limits of man..whether the
striving is accepted or not, or whether the desired result is achieved or not
is entirely in the Blessed Hands of the Lord Most Majestic Who Created Alone!.
