The Concept of Tawakkul (التوكل على الله) in the Qur’an and Sunnah مقدمة (Introduction) Tawakkul , or relying on Allah (التوكل على الله), is a central concept in the life of every believer. It reflects the heart’s trust in Allah while physically taking lawful means to achieve one’s goals. True tawakkul is not passive resignation or fatalism; rather, it is an active, faithful surrender of one’s affairs to the Lord of the worlds. Allah says: وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ﴾ (آل عمران: 122) ﴿ “And upon Allah let the believers rely.” (Āl ʿImrān, 3:122) This verse shows that reliance on Allah is not optional it is a requirement of true faith.
