Putting the Trust in Allah [Tawakul]
As-Saryy as-Saqaty said: the trust [Tawakul] is getting out of the power and strength. As the trust is one of the highest ranks of certitude and the most honorable state of the close ones. Allah said [Lo! Allah loves those who put their trust] Aal-Emran 3:159. So He made the one who put his trust in Him as his beloved, and He bestowed His love on him [Why should we not put our trust in Allah when He has shown us our ways? We surely will endure the hurt you do us. In Allah let the trusting put their trust] Ibrahim 14:12. Allah raised the rank of the ones who put their trust in Him, up to Him and made their increase coming from Him. He said, glory be to Him [And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, He will suffice him] at-Talaq 65:3… i.e. He will suffice him all those other than Him. Whoever has Allah as his suffice, He will be the one cures him and gives health. It was narrated from some wise man that he said: I praise Allah for you the praise of a one who does not know any grace except from Him and does not know any worshipped one other than Him. I ask Him the trust of those who are truly cut from everything except Him.
So let it be known, my brother, that you are not putting you trust in Allah unless you cut away every hope in anyone or thing other than Him. And how cannot your self cut every relation from your heart and empty it for devotion to Allah and the true putting of your trust in Him, and Allah will suffice whoever puts his trust in Him. The truthful trusting one will not find heart submitting to any creature as it is filled with trust for the assurance of Allah. The truthful trusting one will see however little of Allah's gifts great. The trusting one sees how little the size of himself because he knows the greatness of the gravity of Allah. So he is resting to the essence of certitude which is the rank that envied by the people of the keenness for the worldly life. So whosoever has his heart rested to the fact that there is no grace in earth or heaven except for Allah and from Him, then his heart will be relieved from the torture of keenness. Did you not hear Him saying [Is there any creator other than Allah who provides for you from heaven and earth?] Fater 35:3, and saying [His verily is all creation and commandment. Blessed be Allah, the Lord of the Worlds!] al-Aaraf 7:54.
So if you bound your heart to the trust, then you are looking at
Allah. As, the reign is for Allah with none of His creation. And the
more you leave the trust the more you become keen for the worldly
life. So you should conflict with your keenness for the worldly life
with satisfaction of what He provided you. Then you would hurry with
the enmity to the keenness for the worldly life. As keenness does
not give or deprive. And the one who puts his trust in Allah is
sufficed with the One who gives and deprives, from those who do not
give or deprive. He will be rich with Allah and poor for Him. His
heart will be resting from disturbance, as no creature has any
danger in his heart. He who trust anyone other than Allah, he will
not enrich him. The one who puts his trust, confined himself to
piety, so Allah made him a way out, and provided him from whence he
did not expected. Allah says [And whosoever puts his trust in
Allah, He will suffice him. Lo! Allah brings His command to pass.
Allah has set a measure for all things]
at-Talaq 65:3. The one who puts his trust in Allah,
does that in all his needs of this worldly life and the hereafter.
He cuts his hopes in anyone other than Him. He did not see himself
as a deserver for choosing himself, because Allah is his suffice and
whoever became so, would be resting to the essence of certitude.
You should know that you and all other creatures are compelled to Allah in all your states, movements, and resting, as Allah alone is the Rich. Whoever trusted someone other than Allah then he saw a bigger kingdom than Allah's kingdom. But whoever trusted Allah, then he is sufficed with Him, and in Him is a substitute for all creatures. However none of the creatures is a substitute for Allah, as Allah alone is the Rich. So if you know that Allah suffices whoever puts his trust in Him, then how do not ask the sufficiency by putting your trust in Allah, Almighty. Do not you know that He, the Provider, has divided the living among his servants and he preferred some over others in the providence, and He is finished with the destiny and fating of that. Then how can you be worried about something that is already fated for you. Do not you hear the saying of Allah [If Allah touch you with affliction, there is none that can relieve therefrom save Him, and if He touch you with good fortune; He is Able to do all things] al-Anaam 6:17. and how can you ask someone other than Allah to take away the affliction or give you benefit. And how cannot your heart be overwhelmed to ask relief of affliction or gain of benefit from only Him, when you know that everything is in His hand alone. And how can you be afraid to miss anything of goodness that Allah meant for you, and if He did not mean it for you then who would give it to you. The one who puts his trust in Allah does not turn to the worldly life as he does not see any danger in it for him, nor does he see it, himself, and everything it except belonging to Allah. It is the same for him to be sailing in the sea or walking on land, intimacy and loneliness, and working and sitting, as Allah Almighty suffices who puts his trust in Him. Do not you hear the saying of Allah [Will not Allah suffice His slave? Yet they would frighten you with those other than Him. He whom Allah sends astray, for him there is no guide] az-Zumur 39:36. The one who puts his trust in Allah is sufficed with his knowledge of Allah than to be busy with someone else, as he knew that whoever gets him the benefits is Allah alone with no partner. Also if your heart rests and calms to Allah then you will not fear anyone else, as Allah suffices whoever puts his trust in Him. One of the signs of the one who puts his trust in Allah is that he prefers to be truthful when it hurts him over lying when it benefits him, as it is not right for whoever puts his trust in Him, to be afraid from someone else. Also if he enjoined goodness and forbade evil, then he will not fear anyone other than Allah, because his hope of Allah is higher than the threats of the other creatures. As the one who puts his trust in Allah, has driven out of his heart all the fears, cautions, and sorrow from anyone other than Allah, so his fear and hope is connected to Allah.
Know that the support gets to you when you take out the world from
your heart then you would deviate to the path of honor and richness
by Allah. As you know that there is no
Know that you are not putting your trust in Allah Almighty until you take the path for going to him with calmness and tranquility, and until you worship Allah with content to what he made you because you do not know anyone else. If you get to this rank then your heart will be overwhelmed with the greatness of Allah and His glory. Know that Allah Almighty has reserved for the ones who put their trust in Him the places of safety, and prevented from them any regret. So they are looking at Allah for what they hope where He veiled their hearts from any one other than Him for what they hope of His grace. And they were satisfied with His Dhikr from mentioning anyone else. Know that you are not putting your trust in Allah until you are cleared from any possession of yourself of the possessions of the worldly life, and until you donot trust anyone but Allah alone with no partner, and until you see your providence from Allah alone and do not be driven by your greed to someone other than Him. Do not you see that the one, after what is in whose hand you crave, is already in the possession of Allah? Is their in the sky a barrier to detain you from Allah? Then know that you cannot impose your providence as you cannot impose death. Did not you hear Allah's saying [Allah is He Who created you and then provided you, then causes you to die, then gives life to you again. Is there any of your partners that does aught of that? Praised and exalted be He above what they associate!] ar-Room 30:40. So, my brother, trust the promise of Allah in His providence as you trust you are dead. And cut off being busy with the cause in your heart. Know that Allah provides you with a cause and without a cause, and every cause is fixed then you do not know when your providence comes as you do not know when your death comes. Do not you see that Allah promised to provide you and hid your providence from you by the fate? So providence has specific time to come into, and no matter how you try with every trick to get it before its time, you will not be able to, until it come in its specified time. Did not you hear Allah Almighty saying [And in the heaven is your providence and that which you are promised ¤ And by the Lord of heavens and earth, it is the truth, as the fact that you speak] az-Zaryat 51:22-23. Know that the one, who is sure of Allah, denies the accusation from his heart for Allah. And if you are under certain cause then do not let your heart be inclined to that cause, and let it be with Allah Almighty.
Know that the servant does not spend without the permission of the
master. So bound your heart to your master, because if He gives you,
all the people of earth will not prevent you, and if He prevents you
all the people of earth will not be able to give you. As, His power
is great, and with putting your trust in him, He suffices you. The
one who puts his trust in Allah will be calm in heart assured of the
content. And he who cuts the hanging of the heart to the causes,
will not see anything but Allah, as the fate of Allah runs for the
one who puts his trust in Him and the one who does not. Do not you
hear His saying [How many are the
O, our Lord make us of the believers and the ones who put their trust in You [Our Lord! in You do we trust, and to You do we turn in repentance: to You is the Final destiny] al-Mumtahinah 60:4.
