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

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.”
