ABJAD VALUE66
RECITED WITH THE INTENTION OFRecited with the intention of entrusting one’s affairs to Allah and of reliance on Him (tawakkul).

Reciting a name as many times as its abjad value is a common custom; it is neither fard nor wajib. In the Dua Kitaplığı app's dhikr counter, this name comes ready with its target count.

What does Al-Wakil mean?

Wakil is the One to whom affairs are entrusted and who handles them best. The word tawakkul comes from the same root: having done one’s best, leaving the outcome to Him. This name is not about giving up responsibility, but about letting go of worry over the outcome.

In the Quran: Surah Al Imran, verse 173, says: “Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best Disposer of affairs.”
