Arabic:

لَوْ تَوَكَّلْتُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ حَقَّ تَوَكُّلِهِ لَرَزَقَكُمْ كَمَا يَرْزُقُ الطَّيْرَ، تَغْدُو خِمَاصًا وَتَرُوحُ بِطَانًا

English Translation:

"If you relied on Allah as He truly deserves to be relied upon, He would provide for you as He provides for the birds: they go out in the morning hungry and return in the evening full."

Explanation:

Trust in Allah does not mean sitting idle — the birds still go out to seek food. It means doing our best, then trusting Allah for the result.

💡 Remember:

Trust in Allah does not mean sitting idle — the birds still go out to seek food.
