Blaming or praising the circumstances are both the signs of lack of Tawakkal in a person and a proof of the weakness of his Faith. . Because if the Faith on Unity of Allah (Tawheed) is firm, then Tawakkal will definitely be there. Tawakkal is always reflected in the words and deeds, likes and dislikes, of a person.

If someone enjoys a gain for some reason and, instead of being grateful to Allah for His Blessing, is only thankful to the favorable circumstances for his success, then he is a Mushrik or polytheist. Also, because of the circumstances, if he fails in his efforts, and blames the circumstances for his misfortune, then he considers only the circumstances as his Mushkil Kusha or his trouble-shooter and not the Will of Allah. This is a general failing of the human beings.

But one who puts his total trust on Allah, he doesn't depend on the circumstances for the success of his tasks. If he fails in his efforts after due trials, he resigns himself to the fact that Allah willed it that way. Although the unfavorable circumstances might have been the cause of his failure, he thanks Allah that he believes the circumstances to be under the Power of the Almighty.
