SURAH Al-Muzzammil 73: (The Wrapped up one)
This Surah is Makki, and it has 20 verses and 2 Sections.
With the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Very-Merciful

(He is the Lord of the East and the West; there is no god but He; so take Him for [your] Guardian.. .73:9)

COMMENTARY: The Correct Concept of Tawakkul [Trust] - Trust in Allah does not imply for anyone to avoid the apparent means of acquiring livelihood, or giving up the normal ways of saving oneself from any affliction. The ways and means that Allah has created for a particular purpose should not be abandoned while placing total trust in Allah. On the contrary, in order to achieve our purpose it is necessary for us to utilize the Allah-given power and causes at our disposal to the fullest ' extent, but we should not repose blind faith in material causes and means. But having adopted actions of choice, the result should then be left with Allah whose will is the Ultimate Cause of everything.

The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) himself has explained Tawakkul in this way. Imam Baghawi, in his Sharh-us-Sunnah, and Baihaqi, in his Shu'ab-ul-'Iman, have cited the following Hadith:

"Jibraeel AS has inspired me with the thought that no person will ever die until he receives, in full, his sustenance that Allah has decreed for him. Therefore, fear Allah and be moderate in your search."

In other words, we should not be over-absorbed in quest for our needs so deeply that the attention of the heart is totally focused on the material causes and means. Instead, after adopting the ways and means to fulfill our needs, we should repose our total trust in and reliance upon Allah in the sense that without His will, no cause can bring any effect.

Tirrnidhi transmits a Hadith on the authority of Sayyidna Abu Dharr Al-Ghifari RA that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) said: "Zuhd (Renunciation of the world) does not mean to turn lawful things into unlawful or squander the wealth Allah has given you. Renunciation of the world means to have more faith in the things that are in Allah's hands than what are in your hands." [Mazhari]

"Soms raak ons so besig met ons eie gedagtes dat ons meegesleur word deur die plesiere van hierdie wêreld... ons luister na die mooi musiek op die Radio of ons sit bankvas voor die TV... of ons kuier met ons vriende of koop en verkoop so lekker dat ons skoon wegraak in die lekker dinge van hierdie lewe... en dit is ook reg, glo ek. Ons is mos net maar almal mense is ons nie? En mense hou van mooi en lekker dinge. Dis nou maar hoe Allah ons gemaak het.
