In this personal testimony, Eyoub (Abu Lahya) recounts periods when he had only a few hundred euros left, yet he chose to donate a large portion of his limited funds to charity. He describes how this practice reinforced his trust in Allah (tawakkul), illustrating that true reliance on God is demonstrated by giving what one has, even when scarce. He reflects that after each act of giving, his provisions increased, attributing this to divine support. The narrative emphasizes the spiritual principle that surrendering one's wealth for the sake of Allah is both proof of and a means to deepen tawakkul.

Chapters

Subhanallah, multiple times through my journey, I was very— you could call it broke. I had maybe €300, €500 to my name. I would go and give— I mean, what at the time was a lot of money for me. I would give €100, €300 out of €500. And that would be something that makes me feel like, did I really give most of what I have? Alhamdulillah, by the Father of Allah, he always came back, always way more came back. And one thing I developed through it is tawakkul, that I can only rely on Allah (SWT). That's one of the ways of not just saying I have tawakkul or feeling like you have tawakkul. You're proving that you have tawakkul. You're taking your wealth and what you think you can rely on and you give it for the sake of Allah (SWT). And you say, oh Allah, I am at your mercy. You can do whatever you want with me because you own me and you're the one who provides for me. I trust you. This person needs it. I will give it for them and I will hope that you will take care of me. That's the true proof of tawakkul. Allahu Akbar. That's beautiful.
