8 steps to full confidence

One of the attributes and names of God All Mighty i.e. Al-Llaah is "Al Wakeel". It means that Al-Llaah is both the essence of Trust and The ultimate Depositary for all our undertakings. It also indicates that as believers, we must come to consider Al Wakeel as the subtle and all wise agent handling all our affairs and thus in Him alone we put our full trust.

"Tawak-kul" in Arabic is the term employed when clients puts their trust in an advocate or agent.

1ST LEVEL: Trust in Al-llaah by knowing Him - His Names and Attributes and trust the fact that everything in the heavens and earth is His possession. He (swt) is the Exalted Creator of all that exists.

2ND LEVEL: Believe with all your heart that what you ask Him for, you will receive; Al-llaah Has full power to grant it.

3RD LEVEL: Know that you should make full efforts of your own to obtain what you want and then rely fully upon Him; make du'aa and effort, i.e. your body makes effort, and your spiritual side makes du'aa ( invoques Him), always relying upon Him (swt) to seek what you desire.

4TH LEVEL: How to set your heart on what it takes to get what you want? 

Make your heart connected to Al-llaah. Be connected to Al-llaah in thought and prayer not allowing worries to distract you.

There should be absolutely no room for fear. You do what you have to do and you should feel that Al-llaah will take care of the thing that you want be taken care of.

5TH LEVEL: Things that are not in your control, leave those affairs to Al-llaah. Surrender to Him with love and devotion, and feel your burdens lessen.

6TH LEVEL: You should have a good opinion of Al-llaah. This is crucial.

Have 'yaqeen', i.e complete confidence, that He will make you successful in what is best for you.

Our Prophet, sall Allaahu 'alayhi wasallam, said:

'Al-llaah said: 'I am as My servant thinks of Me.'

meaning if you have a good opinion of Al-llaah, then Al-llaah who made your heart and mind will make them feel content and at peace.

However if you choose to have a flawed opinion of Al-llaah, then the opposite feelings are will fill your heart. 

7TH LEVEL: Before the result is known and having proceeded with the levels before, leave your affair totally to Al-llaah Al Wakeel, no doubt or hesitation should subside. Then Make dua and resolve to be content with Al-llaah's subtle and/or obvious answer.

I personally reached that level two weeks ago when I decided to take up a fee paying course to become an Amazon FBA Seller all the while continuing to ask Al-llaah Al Wakeel in every and each of my prayers to grant me a blessed and profitable source of income.

8TH LEVEL: Therefore when the result occurs, your heart is grateful for having received an answer for the heart that beats on the rythm of Al Wakeel will always find peace with whatever Al-Llaah the most Wise has decreed.

I reached this final level 5 days ago when I read about the news about the Xmas postcards from China beeing made through forced or slave labor. That was Al-llah Al Wakeel loud and clear answer to my prayers to stay clear from my investment in an Amazon FBA venture where fortunes are made with average to low priced products coming from China.

So in concluson if you feel sad, and/or your mind is beset with problems, stress, fears about the future, try your very best at following these 8 steps.

Practice with patience each level and build your confidence in Al-llah Who, when you least expect it, will open doors of blessings in ways a greatful and trusting heart will recognise.
