الْوَكِيل

The believer's realisation of Al-Wakīl is not to imagine any share in the disposing of affairs, for the true and absolute Trusteeship belongs exclusively and infinitely to Allah alone. Rather, the servant responds to this name through tawakkul: taking up the lawful means with sincere striving (sa'y), then releasing the outcome from the grip of the heart, entrusting it wholly to the One who alone manages all matters. In this way the believer moves through the world with hands engaged in causes but with a heart at rest, secure in the yaqīn that no affair — apparent or hidden — escapes His governance. The tongue confesses ḥasbunā Allāhu wa niʿma al-Wakīl, and the heart is loosened from the anxiety of controlling what was never in its power to control.
