Hasbunallahu wa ni'mal wakeel Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs. An Islamic art print featuring one of the most repeated declarations of trust in the Islamic tradition. This ayah from Surah Al-Imran (3:173) was spoken by the believers when word reached them that their enemies had gathered in great numbers against them - and rather than shaking their resolve, it deepened their faith. Al-Wakeel is one of Allah's ninety-nine names - the Disposer of Affairs, the Ultimate Guardian. Not simply a helper, but the One entrusted to see a matter through to its end, who carries what we cannot. To say hasbunallah is not to withdraw from effort. It is tawakkul: to act fully, then place what remains beyond our hands into His - a quiet strength for whatever we cannot carry alone.
