Full Meaning of Tawakul

Tawakul is an indirect Quranic name for boys that means “to trust in God”, “to rely on God”. It is derived from the W-K-L root which is used in many places in the Quran.

And God alone comprehends the hidden reality of the heavens and the earth: for, all that exists goes back to Him [as its source]. Worship Him, then, and place thy trust in Him alone: for thy Sustainer is not unaware of what you do. (Quran 11:123)
