Tawakkul Meaning
Tawakkul (Arabic: تَوَكُّل) means dependence on Allah as our source of support and strength when facing trials and challenges in life (Reliance on Allah).
A Muslim first fulfills all of one’s duties and then leaves the result to Allah and accepts the result with reliance and consent.
The literal meaning of the word Tawakul is to appoint someone as a deputy. The person who will be a deputy wants to rely on a person who is stronger, more compassionate, more knowledgeable, and wiser than him.
In short, it means to trust in Allah and not worry about how it ends.
