Is reliance on Allah (Tawakkul) for matters we resolve to do, or for matters beyond our will, or for both, and does reliance include striving for provision and taking means?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Relying on Allah Almighty is essential in all matters and affairs, both small and large; for if Allah Almighty does not facilitate something, it will not be facilitated. Allah Almighty has commanded reliance upon Him in a general sense, to encompass everything. And reliance is an approaching of Allah from all perspectives, and a trust in Him.
