Hasbunallahu wa ni mal wakeel: Meaning

The phrase comes from the Quran, in the story of believers who were told that a large army had gathered against them. Their faith grew, and they answered with these words. The idea of relying on Allah is known as tawakkul, and Wikipedia’s page on tawakkul gives a short overview.

Hasbunallahu wa ni’mal wakeel meaning in simple words

Hasbuna means “enough for us.” Wakeel means the One who takes care of your affairs. Put together, it means: “Allah is enough for us, and He is the best Disposer of affairs.” In Arabic it reads حَسْبُنَا ٱللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ ٱلْوَكِيلُ.

The Bukhari narration of Ibn Abbas says Ibrahim ﷺ said these words when he was thrown into the fire. Britannica’s article on Abraham gives background on his life.

How to pronounce Hasbunallahu wa ni’mal wakeel

Say it slowly, one beat at a time: Has-bu-nal-laa-hu wa ni’-mal wa-keel. The apostrophe is a small pause on the ‘ayn sound. The “kee” in wakeel is long. If you find the ‘ayn hard, ask a teacher to listen once and correct you.
