I was pondering over a verse in Surah Yunus where Musa alaihi salam,

when his people are trapped and when they think that there is no hope, he has a very powerful

verse here and it really struck me and it caused me to go down a bit of a thought process.

Musa said to his people when they lost all hope.

Musa said that, y'all call me O my people in Quntum amantum billahi fa'alehi te wakkalu in Quntum

muslimin. O my people, if you have Iman in Allah, then put your Tewakul in him if you are Muslims.

It's such a powerful phrasing that your Iman and your Islam is linked to your Tewakul.

And this is said at a time when Pharaoh is behind them, the Red Seas in front of them,

they think Allah said is all gone, they're the lowest of the low.

And Musa comes and says, if you have Iman, where is your Tewakul?

If you have Islam, show me that Tewakul.

And this caused me to think about so many other verses in the Quran,

where Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala directly links Iman in him with the concept of Tewakul.

Like it is intrinsically linked, you cannot have Iman, real Iman, except that it will be manifested

in Tewakul. For example, the very first verses of Surat Al-Anfahal,

that innam al-Mutminun al-Ladyin al-Adhikr Allah wajid al-Khrubuhum,

waidah tuliat alayhim ayatu huzadatum Imanah.

And then how does it end?

Wa al-Arabbihim ya Tewakalun, innam al-Mutminun.
