The Difference Between Tawakkul, Tawkil, and Ittilak
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. What is the ruling on anything other than submission and reliance? And if it happens, will you see that it is buried upon him or not?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not permissible to place reliance (tawakkul) on Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) alone, but you may say, "I appoint you as my agent." Appointing an agent (tawkil) is permissible. As for tawakkul, this is for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) alone.[Al-Ma'idah 5:23] Tawakkul is among the greatest types of worship. [Hud 11:123] Yes, and upon Allah place your reliance. This restricts tawakkul to Allah alone. It is not permissible to place reliance on anyone other than Allah. As for tawkil, this is permissible and there is no harm in it.
The questioner:
Pressure or grapes.
The Shaykh:
Tawakkul and tawkil.
The questioner:
Son of God.
The Shaykh:
Yes, tawakkul and ittilak. Tawakkul is among the greatest types of worship. As for ittilak, this is not permissible. Ittilak upon people or upon deeds, relying on them instead of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), this is not permissible. Yes. Ittilak is tawakkul; it is one meaning, and it is not permissible except for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Do not rely except on Allah. This is a colloquial matter, the issue of ittilak, as far as I know or as I think, it is not Arabic. Ittilak is a common colloquial term. It is tawakkul that is the correct term. Yes.

And upon Allah rely, if you should be believers."
وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَتَوَكَّلُوا إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَso worship Him and rely upon Him
