“… Perhaps you dislike something which is good for you and like something which is bad for you. Allah knows, and you do not know.”

AL- BAQARAH: 2: 216

Placing your trust in Allah (SWT) is Tawakkul, and it’s about the complete faith you have in Him. Regardless of the situations that unfold, you still believe that Allah (SWT) will show the rope.

Tawakkul is the core of every Muslim. Our spiritual connection with Allah (SWT) is tied to Tawakkul. If you have it in your heart, life becomes less stressful and happier. I wouldn’t say that you’d lead a happy life; rather, problems or burdens will not overwhelm you. The trust in Allah (SWT) will provide the strength to keep moving.

It’s human nature to worry about the unseen and stress over things they have no control of. But above all these, it’s Tawakkul that leads our path and strengthens our minds. Beyond the problems we face daily, we still believe that there’ll be good, and Allah doesn’t burden a soul more than it can handle.

When you understand the power of placing your trust in Allah, you realize that the things that didn’t work as you planned happened for a reason. You feel contentment and comfort when you realize that Allah (SWT) provides what’s good for you and takes away what’s not good for you.

It’s vital to think about your relationship with Allah (SWT) and to evaluate the level of trust that you have placed in him.

Increase Your Understanding About Allah (SWT)

To have Tawakkul, you must understand and develop your connection with Allah (SWT). When you are reciting the Quran or saying Allah’s (SWT) names, you must take some time and think about them.

When you understand Allah’s names, you become more aware of them, and the definitions strengthen your bond with Allah.

He is in control of his creations, and as Muslims, we should understand this to realize what Tawakkul is. When our love for Allah grows, we automatically develop the connection with Him that gives us the security needed.

It’s not as if your life will be a bed of roses if you trust Allah. Instead, your problems and issues will not make you feel low or underproductive to engage in daily activities. When you have Tawakkul, it gives you the strength to go forward in life regardless of the hurdles on your way.

Anyway, how to put your trust in Allah? Here are some tips to rely upon your Creator even if things aren’t going as you planned.
