Divine success (tawfiq) and abandonment (khidhlan)

Sheikh Omar Abdelkafy defines tawfiq (divine success) as God not leaving the servant to himself, and khidhlan (abandonment) as God leaving him to himself. ¹

The Sheikh says that every good that reaches the servant is by God's tawfiq to him, and every evil by His khidhlan. ¹

The Sheikh mentions a supplication attributed to the Prophet ﷺ in which the one who prays asks not to be left to himself even for the blink of an eye. He says the self is weak and inclined to desire. The text of the supplication is not reproduced here. ^{1 2}

The Sheikh says that when God loves a person, He sows the seed of tawfiq in the soil of his heart, then waters it with hope and fear (needs_source: the watering phrase is garbled in the transcript). ^{3 4}
