Bismillah Ir-Rahman Ir-Rahim. (40:77)- So persevere in patience! For the Promise of Allah is true: and whether We show thee (in this life) some part of what We promise them or We take thy soul (to Our Mercy) (Before that) (in any case) it is to Us that they shall (all) return.--- As the eventual justice and readjustment of values must take place, when every soul retunes to the Judgment-Seat of Allah, it makes no difference if good and evil meet their deserts in this very life or not.}—{Allah sent Messengers with His Truth to every people. There are some whose names are known to us through the holy Quran, but there are a large number whose names are not made known to us through that medium. We must recognize the Truth wherever we find it.}--- The Signs of Allah are everywhere, and can be seen by the discerning eye at all times. But if any extraordinary Signs are demanded by cynics or Unbelievers, they will not be granted merely because they are demanded. It is Allah's Will that issues them, not merely the desire of human beings. But when an extraordinary Sign does issue by the Command of Allah, it means that the cup of the iniquitous is full; that their case is decided, and their time of respite is past; and that Justice takes the place of Mercy, and evil is blotted out.}---- (10:46)- Whether We show thee (realized in thy lifetime) some part of what We promise them or We take thy soul (to Our Mercy) (before that) in any case to Us is their return: ultimately Allah is witness to all that they do. { Muhammad Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)has assured that the end of evil is evil, just as the end of good is good. Whether this result is made plain before his very eyes in his own life-time or afterwards, it makes no difference for the promise of ALLAH is the absolute Truth! The wicked should not rejoice if they are given rope and seem to have the upper hand for a time, nor should the righteous lose heart: for Allah's promise is sure and must come to pass. And in any case, the scales can only be partially, if at all, adjusted in this life. There is the final and complete adjustment on the Day of Judgment. Allah is All-Knowing, and all truth will be before Him.}-- (13:40)- Whether We shall show thee (within thy lifetime) part of what We promised them or take to Ourselves thy soul (before it is all accomplished) thy duty is to (make the Message) reach them: it is Our part to call them to account.)--If we are true to ALLAH and He will certain to help us and strengthen our (faith)Iman. As for Victory, ALLAH's promise will certainly come true and the Mahdi will be coming soon! (insha-ALLAH). These circumstances that are unfolding in the world now are very close to what has been said in the Hadiths about the signs of last hour! And what great event we will see in such a short time in our lives. Only just a few years ago the whole world was engulfed in ignorance, as it still is in many places today! And there was no bright light(Nur) of Din to be seen, but now (the light) the Nur is growing brighter!And now it will not be a long time before ALLAH will send His Guided One!(insha-ALLAH). He will Appear when earth is filled with injustice and tyranny and believers are severely oppressed. He will be alone then a handful of people will join him 313! And they will led the way to the rejuvenation of Islam! He will fill the earth with justice as it is filled with injustice and tyranny,it is not going to be easy! He will fill the hearts of his followers with devotion and will spread justice everywhere. And the Mahdi will continued to warn and give glad tiding and invited people to truth, but people will met Him with ridicule and denial! And now, we are about to see the truth of ALLAH's promise! ALLAH is certain to fore fill the rest! Then the Faith(The light of Din) will spread throughout the Earth again! But... While we are certain of this! we do not know who of us will see the completion of this and who will be gathered to ALLAH before that!----With the promises of ALLAH, comes the Tawakkul (Trust) in ALLAH}
The root of Tawakkul is ‘reliance’ or ‘dependence’. We say that we depend on Allah (sub??nahu wa ta??l?) for everything, and place reliance on Him. The reality of Tawakkul is that we place our trust and reliance on Allah (sub??nahu wa ta??l?) in terms of both our worldly affairs, as well as our Din, as well as utilizing our visceral, or tangible means of attaining that which we want to attain. Tawakkul, therefore, involves belief, dependence, and action. This is because in order to gain at least some level of Tawakkul, the slave needs to be aware of the fact that all the matters of this world and the Hereafter lie in the Hands of Allah (sub??nahu wa ta??l?). Nothing occurs except by His Permission and His Leave. It is worth noting that depending upon Allah in attaining one’s provision is itself a form of worship, and is from the completion and perfection of one’s Iman. It is a realization of the verse from Umm-ul-Quran, ‘You alone we worship, You alone we ask for help’ and is a requirement of one’s Iman because depending on other than Allah (sub??nahu wa ta??l?) for that which Allah (sub??nahu wa ta??l?) alone can provide, or (in the case of a tribulation) Allah alone can save a person from is major Shirk. As Allah (sub??nahu wa ta??l?) says ‘so worship Him and put your trust in Him. And your Lord is not unaware of what you do’.[2] We also know that He states in Surah Al-Anfal, referring to the qualities of Al-Mu’mineen:
-----------------32. (It goes without saying that) true believers
(Mo'mineen) are those who, when Allah is men-
tioned, feel a tremor in their hearts. And when the
revelations of Allah are recited unto them, these
increase their Faith (Imaan). And they put their
trust in Allah alone; those who establish Salaat, and
spend (freely) of that which We have bestowed upon
them. Such in truth are the Believers. For them,
there are high ranks of honor with their Rabb, and
Forgiveness (of sins) and generous provision, (al-
Anfaal: 2-4)
The above Ayaat indicating
that a Mo'min (true believer), according to these Ayaat, puts his
trust in Allah Ta l ala alone and entertains no hopes of getting help
from any being other than Allah Ta'ala. As a reward for attaining to
this perfection of Faith, Allah Ta'ala promises that: (a) He will exalt
the believers to high ranks of dignity (in Jannah), (b) forgive their
sins and (c) grant them honorable sustenance.
Each one of these promised favors is of extreme value and, as such, each one should be taken as sufficient incentive for the cultivation of this supreme virtue Tawakkul'. And, as Allah Ta'ala has promised three great favors for those who are characterized by this quality, no measure of Struggle should be deemed too
much for its achievement.
Ibne Abbas Radhiallaho anko says: "Tawakkul implies enter-
taining no hopes from anyone other than Allah Ta'ala!. Sa'eed bin Jubair Rahmatullah alaihe says: Tawakkul is the sum and substance of Imaan (Faith)". In the entire Holy Qur'an, if there had been only one Ayat on
the subject of faith,trust and the promise of Allah Ta'ala, it would have been
sufficient. Nevertheless, there are frequent references far more frequent than allusions to any other subject-to keeping full trust in
Allah Ta'ala, having sole reliance on Him and none else, seeking His
help in all one's needs and adversities and concentrating all one's
hopes on Him alone. And, by way of exhortation, reference has been
made to the lives of the pious and favored beings of Allah Ta'ala);
Those who possessed this virtue par excellence. As a matter of fact,
Tawakkul is the fruit of 'Tauheed' (the belief in the oneness of Allah Ta'ala, the more firmly grounded we are in our belief in Tauheed*, the more advanced we will be in Tawakkul. And, since Tauheed* is the fundamental creed of Islam and the essence of Imaan (faith), no virtue is of any value in the sight of Allah Ta'ala
unless it is based on a true belief in the oneness of Allah Ta'ala. The entire body of religious beliefs as well as the code of Islamic Law (the Shariah) is founded on Tauheed*. It is, obviously, owing to the extreme value of this quality that the subject has been treated,
specifically and emphatically, at various places in the Holy Qur*an.As for Tawakkul, Allah Ta'ala has promised His acceptance and pleasure to those who possess this virtue-a boon which far excels all other rewards -which everyone must aspire to achieve, even if he has to sacrifice his life for it.---We also have many, many examples from our Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) including examples of certain supplications which he made. In an authentic hadith contained in Bukhari and Muslim, Ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) used to supplicate.
‘O Allah! To You I have submitted, and in You do I believe, and in You I put my trust, to You do I turn, and for You I argued. O Allah, I seek refuge with You through Your Power; there is none worthy of worship except You Alone; that You safeguard me against going astray. You are the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists; the One Who never dies, whereas human beings and jinn will all die’.
What this demonstrates is just how necessary this trust and reliance on Allah is, whereby we make Allah the disposer of our affairs. As it becomes clear from the aforementioned hadith, Tawakkul is interlinked, interfused even, with submission to Allah, and belief in Allah.
This becomes apparent in the hadith, ‘O Allah! To You I have submitted, and in You do I believe, and in You I put my trust’. In a single breath the Prophet (Peace be upon him) refers to submission, Iman, and Tawakkul. In another hadith showing the importance of Tawakkul and its benefits in this world and the Hereafter, Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said,
‘A group of people (both men and women) whose hearts will be like the hearts of birds will enter Jannah’ (Muslim).
According to the renowned author of Riyadh As Saliheen, this Hadith has been interpreted to mean that it is those people who put their trust in Allah who will be in Jannah. Under this interpretation, there seems to be direct correlation between the way the people of Tawakkul lived their lives in this world, and their reward.
It is the people of Tawakkul who would never have worried about their provisions, food, and means of subsistence, and are like the birds who do not collect any food to keep in reserve but go out every morning in search of food, hoping for and believing in Allah’s provision, and then returning home to their nests fully satisfied.
Those who have Tawakkul do not abandon material resources, the ‘tying of the camel’, as it were. We all know the Hadith in which the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said to the Bedouin who had left his camel without tying it, to ‘tie your camel and place your trust in Allah’.
The people of Tawakkul know the balance between action and trust in Allah (The Most High). Before we move onto the next section of this paper, it is worth noting what one of our famous scholars of the past has said about Tawakkul. In Madaarij us-Saalikeen, Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah (may Allah have mercy upon him) notes:
‘The condition of the one who relies on Allah is like the condition of the one who is given a dirham by a King, then it gets stolen from him; so the King says to him: “I have many times as much as that, so don’t worry. When you come to me, I will give you from my treasures much more than that.” Thus if (this person) knows the truthfulness of the king’s statement, and trusts him, and knows that his treasures are full of that, then what he missed will not make him sad.’
