Trust in Allah means to rely upon Him and to commend all affairs to Him, diverging from anyone or anything else. The source of trust in Allah is power of heart and conviction. Likewise, loss of trust in Allah originates from feebleness of heart and conviction and the influence of apprehensiveness and illusion:
“Allah is Sufficient for the needs of whoever trusts in Him.” (65:3)
“Allah loves those who trust Him.” (3:159)
“(Muḥammad), say, ‘Nothing will happen to us besides what Allah has decreed for us. He is our Guardian. In Allah alone do the believers trust.’” (9:51)
“If Allah is your helper, no one can defeat you. However, if He abandons you, who would help you? The true believers trust in Allah.” (3:160)

Reality of Trust in Allah
Trust in Allah does not mean to neglect beneficial means or methods, to not lift a hand to face events and crises. Having trust in Allah is not mutually exclusive with the reliance on the natural means and outward causes for achieving one’s aims. Allah has decided to make all matters proceed according to their natural causes. Notwithstanding, it is necessary to depend upon and trust in Allah for achieving the purposes.
As he noticed a Bedouin neglecting to even tether his camel, relying on Allah exclusively, the Prophet (P.B.U.H. & H.H.) instructed him: “Tether your camel then trust in Allah exclusively.”

Ranks of Trust in Allah
People vary greatly in terms of how much they trust in Allah. Some are forerunners in this regard: they devote themselves completely to Allah and neglect everything except Him. Those are the prophets (P.B.U.T.), their successors, and the saints.
As an example on the best picture of trust in Allah, it is narrated that when Prophet Abraham (P.B.U.H.) was in his way to the fire, the angel Gabriel met him in the air and asked whether he wanted him to do anything. He answered: “For you, you can do nothing for. I depend on Allah Who is the best Guardian.” Then the angel Michael met him and suggested that he would extinguish that fire since rain and water had been under his disposal. The prophet (P.B.U.H.) also rejected his offer. Then the angel of wind met him and suggested that he would cause that fire to fly away, but the prophet (P.B.U.H.) also rejected the offer. Then the angel Gabriel came to him again and asked him to supplicate to Allah. Abraham (P.B.U.H.) said: “My supplication is worthless because He knows my current state best.”[1]
