Tawakkul is when the heart knows that the Lord is sufficient for the slave



Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah

“Tawakkul is when the heart knows that the Lord is sufficient for the slave, if he truly put his trust in Allaah, he would be pleased with what Allaah does, a man is a mutawakkil (one who puts his trust in Allaah) when he is pleased with Allaah as Wakeel

Tawakkul is to cut the heart’s attachments to other than Allaah. Tawakkul is to submit to the decree of the Lord. Tawakkul has three levels (1) putting trust in Allaah, then (2) submitting, then (3) entrusting one’s affairs to Allaah; so the one who puts his trust in Allaah is reassured by His promise, and the one who submits is content with His knowledge, and the one who entrusts his affairs to Allaah is pleased with His decree.’”
