Allah the Exalted said: << O you who believe, remember the favor of Allah upon you when a group intended to stretch their hands toward you, but He restrained their hands from you, and fear Allah.

Then Allah the Exalted said: . The discussion of His saying: has already been presented extensively, and I think it does not need [further discussion]. And His saying: is a command from Allah the Exalted to remember His favor, not merely for the sake of mention and report, but to act upon the gratitude for this favor. Because merely saying that Allah saved me from the enemy, that Allah enabled me against the enemy, that Allah gave me victory over the enemy, or that Allah caused my enemy to fail is not sufficient. It must be gratitude to Allah, Mighty and Majestic. If it is gratitude, in that the person speaks of Allah’s favor, yes, praise of Allah, then this is part of gratitude. And His saying: this is connected to His saying: so it is in the position of accusative as a state (hal). Who are the people? The polytheists. They intended to kill the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), and they also intended to fight him in Makkah, but Allah said: And He said in Surat al-Nisa: So there are several incidents where the disbelievers intended to stretch their hands toward the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions, but Allah the Exalted restrains their hands and saves the Messenger and his Companions. and they were unable to harm you, and this is a great favor that your enemy intends something and then Allah prevents it from him. Indeed, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said in Surat al-Ahzab: And He said in it: . [It is a] command to remember the favor and to have taqwa (mindfulness of Allah), and taqwa is taking protection from the punishment of Allah by doing the commands and avoiding the prohibitions. meaning, let the believers rely upon Allah. And we all know that His saying: is connected to "rely" so it is placed before it to indicate exclusivity, and the fa (particle) was added to improve the wording; otherwise, if it were said: "and upon Allah let them rely," the speech would be correct. And His saying: the lam is the lam of command, and its original state is kasrah (vowel), but it becomes sukun (unvoweled) if preceded by? Who knows? If preceded by qala (said)? Yes? If preceded by fa (and), waw (and), or thumma (then), correct. In the verse with us, what preceded it? The fa. And in His saying: then, the waw, so the lam is for command. And the best that has been said about tawakkul (reliance) is that it is: sincere reliance upon Allah, sincere reliance upon Allah in bringing benefits and repelling harms, with trust in Him, Blessed and Exalted is He, and entrustment to Him. This is tawakkul upon Allah: that you rely upon Allah in bringing benefits, and the person is in need of benefits, and repelling harms, with trust in Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and entrustment to Him. And by this, the difference between a person’s tawakkul upon a servant and his tawakkul upon the Lord becomes clear. A person’s tawakkul upon the Lord is absolute entrustment, and the person believes that Allah is the One who has the judgment and the authority over him. His tawakkul upon a person, entrusting him to buy a need for him, is not so; it is not entrustment to him, but he entrusts him, believing that he is lower in rank than him, is that not so? Meaning, when you rely upon a person you entrusted to buy a need for you, is it like your tawakkul upon Allah? No. My tawakkul upon Allah is tawakkul of worship, entrustment, and submission. And my tawakkul upon a person I entrusted is nothing but reliance upon a person whom I manage, and I am the one who wants him to rely, and I am the one who has the power to revoke my agency. So the difference between tawakkul upon Allah and tawakkul upon a servant is a great difference. But even so, it is not befitting for a person to say, "I have tawakkul upon so-and-so in buying such and such," but rather he should say, "I entrusted so-and-so," so that he does not use the term that is not applied except to Allah in the case of a servant. And His saying: means those who believed in Allah and His books and His messengers and the Last Day and the divine decree, its good and its evil.
