Tewafuq

In Islam, the term Tewafuq refers to a God-conscious understanding of a phenomenon fundamental to all events and things.

An approximate English translation would be the expression "this was meant to be", referring to events which feel like a conscious hand was at work behind what was happening.

Things or events said to be in "tewafuq" demonstrate an intended, planned, and established order by virtue of their being in a state of correspondence and having a well-proportioned, elegant, and subtle correlation designed to fulfil meaningful and wise goals.

All things in tewafuq imply that there is no room for any blind chance in the universe, and that the observed existence of things or events cannot be attributed to haphazard, unconscious causes, self-creation or a virtual reign of nature working according to so-called "natural laws".

For Muslims, this indicates the existence of tewafuq in the sense that things are in a state of coherence, conformity, and correlation, under the sovereignty of Allah.
