This is a word in arabic language. It means blind faith on the actions and plannings of the Higher Being. In this journey of life , I have come to conclude that God's plans are subtle, may seem senseless, out of context, unfit, even sometimes bizzare and other times worst, but the positive belief on His workings can get ones things done only if he or she gets the basic foundation of this attribute.
Tawakkal is a hard thing to learn. It requires persistent training of your mind to belief in the happenings. I would not advocate not to struggle or to wrestle with injustice or suppression but the whole point is how to see positives in hard times.
The unconditional positive regard for the God in order to believe as whatever He would plan for you is in the best of your interest requires energy and time.
This investment holds a person from reacting immediately to any situation . It also lets a person to exercise self-control more effectively.
Life is a series of difficult, complex, challenging and surprising events. It requires substance within yourself to understand the whole plethora of occurences. If a person lacks principle or belief in him or herself or does not do "inside job" and only focuses on outer cycle of actions-reactions then the whole life will be spent on a reactive mode. The pro-active life requires taking up a charge and responsibility of changing things which does not come easily.
