Understanding the Meaning of Tawakal Below

Derived from the Arabic word "وكّل" (wakala), which means "to entrust" or "to hand over." Simply put, it can be interpreted as completely surrendering oneself to Allah SWT in all matters, after one has made the best possible effort.

In a religious context, this concept indicates complete belief and trust that everything that happens is the will of the Creator and after making every effort, the final result is left to Him.

The way to practice tawakkul is to put in maximum effort. Do everything to the best of your ability and potential. Maximum effort is a form of worship and devotion to Him.

‍

Then pray and ask for help. After making an effort, always pray for guidance and help from the Creator. Prayer is a form of acknowledgment that humans have limitations and need help from the Creator.

Then, accept whatever results you achieve wholeheartedly and be grateful for whatever results you've put in. You must believe that everything that happens to you is part of God's best plan.

Some Evidence of the Attitude of Tawakal

In Islam, this attitude is a form of heart worship that reflects a Muslim's faith in the power and wisdom of Allah. The following are several propositions from the Koran and hadith that emphasize the importance of surrender in the life of a Muslim.

1. Al-Quran Surah Ali Imran ayat 159

Surah Ali 'Imran ayat 159 "Kemudian apabila kamu telah berazam, maka bertawakallah kepada Allah. Sesungguhnya Allah menyukai orang-orang yang bertawakal kepada-Nya."

This verse emphasizes the importance of making an effort first before leaving the results to Allah. Allah loves every one of His servants to put in maximum effort and then leave the results entirely to Him.

2. Al-Quran Surah Al-Anfal verse 2

Surah Al-Anfal ayat 2 "Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang beriman itu adalah mereka yang apabila disebut nama Allah gemetarlah hati mereka, dan apabila dibacakan ayat-ayat-Nya bertambahlah iman mereka (karenanya), dan hanya kepada Tuhan mereka berserah diri."

In this verse, the attitude of tawakkul (relief) is linked to a Muslim's deep faith in Allah. A true believer will feel calm and peaceful because they believe in His power in every aspect of life.

3. Al-Quran Surah At-Talaq verse 3

Surah At-Talaq ayat 3 "Dan memberinya rezeki dari arah yang tidak disangka-sangkanya. Dan barangsiapa bertawakal kepada Allah, niscaya Allah akan mencukupkan (keperluannya). Sesungguhnya Allah melaksanakan urusan (yang dikehendaki)Nya."

This verse shows that Allah SWT will fulfill the needs of those who submit to Him in unexpected ways. It demonstrates that all the needs of His servants will always be met through His power.

4. Al-Quran Surah Al-Mulk verse 15

Surah Al-Mulk Ayat 15 "Dialah yang menjadikan bumi itu mudah bagi kamu, maka berjalanlah di segala penjurunya dan makanlah sebagian dari rezki-Nya. Dan hanya kepada-Nya-lah kamu (kembali setelah) dibangkitkan."

This verse explains that the earth where humans live is a place to seek sustenance in all its corners. Then, after submitting, humanity will be resurrected to be held accountable.

Hadith from Ibn Abbas "Rasulullah SAW said: "If you put your trust in Allah with true trust, you will surely be given sustenance as birds are given sustenance; In the morning he goes hungry and in the afternoon he returns full." (HR. Tirmidhi)

This hadith teaches that trusting in God does not mean abandoning one's efforts. Even a bird, lacking human intelligence, continues to search for food every day, and God continues to provide for its needs.
