Meaning Of Tawakul
Thanks so much sister. So it’s like I believe God and trust that whatever he will do- even if my camel runs away after I wanted it to be secure- is for my benefit and I trust that I will be compensated for it somehow whether in this life or the next. And a corollary is that because it’s my God’s decision I will be satisfied with it
What I think is right ‘according to the guidance and within the limits set out by Allah for me.’ And once my decision is based on this trust on God and honest attitude before Him, then whatever He does in the end will be right for me and then i will be capable of accepting and realizing it to be right for me. Makes sense? Im sorry, im trying my best to explain!!
@UmerQureshi bhai, maybe you can help us?
That this person still has the capacity to steal it etc if God wills? And if God wills otherwise, nothing will happen to it despite that person’s ill intentions, plans etc. Wont this be tawakkul? But even if the former happens, even then there is good in it. Because it might be to teach you something, make you humble etc. So again the Tawakkul factor comes in that Ya Rabb i know what happened is better for me ultimately.
Oh sorry Bhai! Because of its linguistic meaning and its usage in the Quran, along with the context of the verses it is used in?
