Talk Tawakkal or trust in Allah
essential part of practicing monotheism
The topic of Tawakkal is one of the most important
of the aspects of the Religion of Islam because the
essential part of monotheism is absolute trust in Allah.
In other words a Muslim is one who seeks succor only
from Allah for deriving benefits and warding off of
losses. In fact this is the meaning and purport of la
ilaha ilAllah wa lahaula wa la quwwata illa billa al
ali al azeem. Hauqala or saying la haula wa
la quwatta illa billa is the key to the Heaven
and the practical expression of monotheism by the believer.
Thus it is the expression by the person that he is not
an independent entity who has to depend on Allah's Wish
in all matters. It is his duty to believe in the musab
a bab asbaab (the doer of things), that is Allah,
the Creator of the Existence. He should realize and
believe in the fact that with the utterance of a single
word, "Kun", became the cause of
creation of the creatures in the Universe. He should
also have belief in the fact that the very existence
of the universe is the miraculous phenomenon of the
Musab ba bab Haqeeqi or the real doer of things
and the absolute Creator, that is Allah and not something
that evolved by itself.
