What does tawakkul mean?

Question: What is the place of tawakkul in our religion? Does tawakkul mean not working, not taking medicine?
ANSWER
Tawakkul means expecting, after holding fast to means and causes (sabab) that have been prescribed by our religion, the outcome not from the means and causes but from the Creator of them. The 159th verse of Âl-i ‘Imrân Sûra, which reads (in English), “When you begin any work, have tawakkul in Allahu ta’âlâ. Trust in Him,” points out that one should work perseveringly by having tawakkul.

CEVAP
Üzerimdeki maddi manevi haklarını bana bağışla denir. Mesela İngilizce şöyle denebilir:
“Forgive all your spiritual and material claims on me.”

O da, okeylerse mesele kalmaz.
