صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب            صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! We come to know that Tawakkul is beneficial for this world and the Hereafter. Let us listen to its further benefits that it contains for this world and the Hereafter:

Benefits of Tawakkul

1.   Those observing Tawakkul remain safe from distresses. As Sayyiduna Daata Ganj Bakhsh Hajveri رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه has said: ‘One day, my accomplished Murshid (spiritual guide) intended to go to Damascus from Bait-ul-Jinn. Due to rain, I was finding it difficult to walk in the mud but when I glanced at my Murshid, his clothes and sandals were dry. I humbly asked about (the wisdom of this astonishing event) in his court. He replied: ‘Since I preserved my inner-self from the fear of greed by abandoning my intention in the path of Tawakkul, Allah Almighty has saved me from mud since then.’ (Kashf-ul-Mahboob, p. 255) I.e. by the virtue of Tawakkul, I have been relieved from the worldly calamities. 

2.   Tawakkul saves one from the dependency of people. In fact, if one’s Tawakkul is perfect, then people become dependent upon him. As Sayyiduna Sulaiman Khawas رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه has said: ‘If anyone observes Tawakkul upon Allah Almighty with a sincere intention, then everyone, rich and poor, will become dependent upon him. But he will not be dependent upon anyone, because his Lord is Ghani (The Independent) and Hameed (The praiseworthy). (Minhaj-ul-‘Aabideen, p. 104)

3.   One pious predecessor states: My Shaykh رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه often used to say in the gathering: ‘Hand your destiny to the One Who created you, you will attain peace.’ (Minhaj-ul-‘Aabideen, p. 113)

4.   Among the countless blessings of Tawakkul, the biggest blessing is that Iman gets protected by the virtue of it. Because when Satan attacks someone’s Iman, the first thing he does is he weakens the person’s reliance and trust upon Allah Almighty. Therefore, if you want to preserve your Iman, then have complete faith in Allah Almighty. One
