(Ayah 217) {وَ تَوَكَّلْ عَلَى الْعَزِيْزِ الرَّحِيْمِ :} When the command was given to declare disassociation from every disobedient one, it was also stated that no matter who the disobedient ones are or how many they are, they cannot harm you in any way. Therefore, disassociate from all and place your trust in that Master who is Aziz (All-Powerful over all), such that no one can stand against Him, and Rahim (Most Merciful), whose boundless mercy is always directed towards His own. Tawakkul means to entrust one's affairs to the One about whom there is certainty that He will suffice for them.

[129] That is, put your trust in that Allah who is dominant over the disbelievers and those who create obstacles in this path, and who has full power to punish them. And for the believers who are being oppressed at the hands of the disbelievers, He is also Merciful; He will surely help these oppressed ones.
