What is the reality of tawakkul (reliance upon Allah)

Question : The Shaykh says: How is the reality of tawakkul (reliance upon Allah) upon Allah (Mighty and Majestic)?

Answer : The reality of tawakkul (reliance upon Allah) upon Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is to make one’s reliance upon Him sincere, meaning that one relies upon Allah (Mighty and Majestic) sincerely in all matters: in acts of worship, in transactions, in customs, in movements, and in stillness. One makes all his affairs dependent upon Allah (Mighty and Majestic), recognizing that were it not for Allah’s facilitation, nothing would have been facilitated for him. One must be sincere in this reliance by having good expectations of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
That He will facilitate matters for him and make them easy, and that he not be pleased with himself to the point of believing that the action is his own and that he is the one who took control of the matter. If so, he is in great danger. For this reason, the scholars defined tawakkul (reliance upon Allah) as sincere reliance upon Allah the Exalted in bringing about benefits and repelling harms, along with trust in Him and performing the prescribed means. May Allah reward you.
