## The Fruits of Tawakkul (Reliance on God)<\/strong><\/p>\n

### Strength<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: <\/strong>
\n> **\u201cWhoever wishes to be the strongest of people, let him rely upon Allah.\u201d**\u00b2\u2074<\/strong><\/p>\n

Imam \u2018Ali (peace be upon him) said: <\/strong>
\n> **\u201cThe foundation of the heart\u2019s strength is reliance upon Allah.\u201d**\u00b2\u2075<\/strong><\/p>\n

—<\/strong><\/p>\n

### Optimism<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: <\/strong>
\n> **\u201cSuperstition (bad omens) is shirk (associating partners with God). There is none of us except that he may feel it, but Allah removes it through reliance (tawakkul).\u201d**\u00b2\u2076<\/strong><\/p>\n

(*Al\u2011\u1e6diyarah*\u2014with a fat\u1e25ah on the y\u0101\u2019\u2014means pessimism or taking bad omens.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

—<\/strong><\/p>\n

### Hope<\/strong><\/p>\n

Imam \u2018Ali (peace be upon him) said: <\/strong>
\n> **\u201cTrust in Allah is the strongest hope.\u201d**\u00b2\u2077<\/strong><\/p>\n

—<\/strong><\/p>\n

### Comfort and Joy<\/strong><\/p>\n

He (peace be upon him) also said: <\/strong>
\n> **\u201cRelying upon Allah brings the greatest ease.\u201d**\u00b2\u2078<\/strong><\/p>\n

He (peace be upon him) said: <\/strong>
\n> **\u201cWhoever trusts in Allah, He shows him joy; and whoever relies upon Him, He suffices him in his affairs.\u201d**\u00b2\u2079<\/strong><\/p>\n

He (peace be upon him) also said: <\/strong>
\n> **\u201cThe one who relies on Allah suffers no hardship.\u201d**\u00b3\u2070<\/strong><\/p>\n

—<\/strong><\/p>\n

### Sufficiency and Provision<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: <\/strong>
\n> **\u201cWhoever relies upon Allah, He will suffice him and provide for him from where he does not expect.\u201d**\u00b3\u00b9<\/strong><\/p>\n

—<\/strong><\/p>\n

### The Continuity of Wealth and Honor<\/strong><\/p>\n

Imam al\u2011Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: <\/strong>
\n> **\u201cIndeed, wealth and honor wander about; when they find a place of reliance (tawakkul), they settle there.\u201d**\u00b3\u00b2<\/strong><\/p>\n

—<\/strong><\/p>\n

## Between Relying on Allah and Relying on Others<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: <\/strong>
\n> **\u201cIf a man were to rely upon Allah with sincere intention, matters beneath him would be in need of him. So how could he himself be in need, when his Master is the Self\u2011Sufficient, the Praiseworthy?\u201d**\u00b3\u00b3<\/strong><\/p>\n

He (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: <\/strong>
\n> **\u201cDo not rely upon other than Allah, lest He leave you to that upon which you rely.\u201d**\u00b3\u2074<\/strong><\/p>\n

—<\/strong><\/p>\n

## Relying on Oneself in the Sense of Self\u2011Delusion<\/strong><\/p>\n

Imam \u2018Ali (peace be upon him) said: <\/strong>
\n> **\u201cSelf\u2011confidence (in the sense of self\u2011reliant arrogance) is among the firmest opportunities for Satan.\u201d**\u00b3\u2075<\/strong><\/p>\n

He (peace be upon him) also said: <\/strong>
\n> **\u201cIndeed, the most detestable of men to Allah is a servant whom Allah leaves to himself\u2014deviating from the straight path, proceeding without guidance. If he is called to cultivate for this world, he works; but if he is called to cultivate for the Hereafter, he becomes lazy.\u201d**\u00b3\u2076<\/strong><\/p>\n

—<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reliance on God together with outward means does not mean neglecting reason or abandoning practical causes. It has been narrated:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked: <\/strong>
\n> \u201cO Messenger of Allah, should I tie my camel and rely (on Allah), or let it loose and rely?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

(Continuation follows.)<\/strong><\/p>\n
