God says
Say (O Prophet): “God is enough for me! In Him [alone] place their trust all who have trust [in His existence].” -- Q.39:38
…. God alone is the Protector [of all that exists], since it is He alone who brings dead to life, and He alone has the power to will anything. -- Q.42:9
…. [Say, therefore:] “Such is God, my Sustainer: In Him I placed my trust, and unto Him do I always turn!” -- Q.42:10
….And unto everyone who is conscious of God, He [always] grants a way out [of unhappiness], and provides for him [and her] in a manner beyond all expectation; and for everyone who places his trust in God, He [alone] is enough….. Q.65:2,3
Reliance on God is not devoid of action, because action is our duty to God. It is action with earnestly praying to Him for help, trusting that the outcome will be based on divine wisdom.
Prophet said
1. “Surely I know a verse (which) if people had followed it would have sufficed them: ‘and whoso is God conscious, He always grants a way for him, and He provides from (sources) he never could imagine’ (Q.65:2,3)” – H: Ahmed and Ibn Majah. N:Abu Zarr.
2. ‘When you are overcome (by grief or anxiety) say: “HASBUNAL LAHU WA NI’AMAL WAKEEL" [Allah (Alone) is sufficient for us – and He is the best Disposer of affairs] Q.3:173 -- Hadith: Abu Daud. Narrator: Arf-b-Malek.
