Tawwakul (Arabic: توكُل‎) is an Arabic language word for the Islamic concept of trusting in Allah's plan. Tawwakul is a response to hardship in one's life, and such hardship is usually faced through fasting, reflection, and prayer.

Many Muslims reject medical conceptions of mental illness, because of the social stigma attached to mental conditions, instead focusing on the concept of tawwakul.[1]
