Regarding the question of Trust in Allah, I refer to the issue of the Belief in Rizq is from Allah as the more specific topic. Both of these topics, Trust in Allah and Rizq, are part of Al Qadar: Divine Decree in which we believe.

Excerpt regarding Rizq:

" The truth to which the Muslim should submit is that rizq is from Allah (SWT)and not man.Many aayaat (not open to interpretation) clearly show that rizq is from Allah (SWT) alone and no one else. This makes us absolutely certain that what we understand from the styles and means by which the rizq is provided, these are set of conditions present so rizq may come.

Thus, Allah (SWT) says:'And eat of the things which Allah (SWT) has provided for you.' [5:88]
and He says:'Who created you, then provided food foryou.'[30:40]
and He says:'Spend of that which Allah (SWT) has provided you.'[36:47]
and He says:'Verily Allah (SWT) provides sustenance to whom He wills.'[3:37]
and He says:'Allah (SWT) provides for it and for you.'[29:60]
and He says:'Surely, Allah (SWT) will provide for them.'[22:58]
and He says:'Allah (SWT) increases the provision for whom He wills.' [13:26]
and He says:'So seek your provision from Allah (SWT)(Alone).'[29:17]
and He says:'And no (moving) living creature is there on earth but its provision is due from Allah (SWT).'[11:6]
and He says:'Verily, Allah (SWT) is the All-Provider (al-Razzaq).'[51:58].

All these aayaat are definite in meaning and definite in authenticity, having only one possible meaning and not open for interpretation, that is the rizq only comes from Allah (SWT) Who is ar-Razzaq, (the One Who provides sustenance) and it lies in the hand of Allah (SWT) alone.

However, Allah (SWT) has ordered His servants to perform actions and they have been given the ability to choose the conditions they wish to practice that will lead to provision of rizq. They should pursue, according to their choice, all conditions that will lead to provision of rizq. However, these conditions are not the cause of rizq, nor are they who bring forth this rizq, as clearly stated in the text of the Qur’an. Rather, Allah (SWT) is the one who gives provision in these conditions irrespective of whether the rizq is halal or haram, irrespective whether Allah(SWT) has obliged, allowed or forbidden it, and regardless of whether the rizq was obtained or not. Islam has clarified the manner in which the Muslim is allowed or forbidden to pursue those conditions in which rizq can be obtained.

(The fact is that these circumstances (eg. literacy, diploma, bachelor's degree, etc. professional license, work experience, luck etc) that lead to the acquisition of provision are circumstances which lead to obtaining the rizq and are not a cause of rizq. If these are the causes of rizq then these circumstances will always lead to a provision of rizq, but it can be seen that they do not always lead to provision of rizq.)
