The Arabic TAVAKKOL which is rooted in VAKIL is generally translated to, ``PUTTING TRUST IN ALLAH'', but it has many shades of meaning like getting an agent, attorney proxy, lawyer proxy and etc. Generally it means to empower some one to act for some one else, or chosing one who can manage another's affair.

      It is evident that man will elect someone to do something on his behalf, when he is helpless and is afflicted in a dark deadlock, or in a state of inaction or indecision, resulting from the opposition of equally powerful persons or factions. So putting trust in Allah is apt, when man in difficulties, hostilities, complexities of affairs, and in deadlocks has been rendered ineffective himself. Here he should have trust in his Merciful Lord whom nothing can frustrate, renewing his endeavours, and resolutely get to work harder and strive more hopefully.

      As a matter of fact, man should always and in any condition, throughout his life rely on God, and make sure that the doors of hope and God's aid is always open to him, and that Allah will come to his help in proper time. But man should also know that putting trust in God, does not mean stopping strive and getting out of work, that God will help those who help themselves. Having trust in God, serves to increase man's stability and resistance in hardship and troubles. It will induce patience in the soul of man, in difficulties and reasures him that he is not alone in the critical conditions.
