Tie Your Camel & Trust in Allāh Sheikh Ibn Baz rahimahullah said: Relying on Allāh (tawakkul) includes two things: First, depending on Allāh and trusting Him, believing that He controls and manages all affairs, and that no one can stop what He gives, and no one can give what He prevents. Second, taking the proper means. A person who claims to rely on Allāh but does not take any steps is considered negligent and is going against Islamic teachings. True tawakkul combines both: trusting Allāh, relying on Him, believing that He is the One who creates the causes, provides for people, and that whatever Allāh wills happens, and whatever He does not will does not happen. The second part is taking action: planting trees, digging a well for water, eating and drinking, wearing suitable clothes in summer and suitable clothes in winter, and protecting oneself from harm—such as locking the door to prevent theft. All of this must be done along with trusting Allāh. Someone who says he relies on Allāh but ignores all means—does not eat or drink, does not buy or sell, and does not lock his door—resembles a mad person and is acting against the Shari'ah. It is reported that the Prophet ﷺ said to a man who asked, “O Messenger of Allāh, should I tie my camel or rely on Allāh?” He replied, ((اعقلها وتوكل)) “Tie it and rely on Allāh.” This means combine both: tie the camel, then trust Allāh that it will be safe and not be taken.
