Saying "I have placed my reliance on Allah, and then on you," and the difference between tawakkul and reliance

Question:
The questioner asks: Is it said, "I have placed my trust in Allah, then in you," and what is the difference between tawakkul and reliance?

Answer:
One does not say, "I have placed my reliance on Allah, and then on you." Tawakkul is an act of worship, and it is for Allah alone. If you are Muslims. So place your reliance, if you are Muslims. Thus, tawakkul is an act of worship. You do not say it to a created being. So do not say, "I have placed my reliance on Allah, and then on you." Rather, say, "I have appointed you as my agent" or "I have entrusted you with the agency." Agency is permissible, and appointing an agent is permissible. This is called tawkil (agency), not tawakkul (reliance). Tawakkul is for Allah, meaning that you entrust to Allah the realization of your objective. As for the agent, he is a representative for you, but he does not guarantee for you the realization of the objective. The agent does not guarantee for you the realization of the objective. The objective is in the hand of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. So do not say, "I have placed my reliance on Allah, and then on you." Rather, say, "I have appointed you as my agent," "I have made you my support," "I have entrusted you with my matter," or the like. Yes.
