Etymology
The Arabic root و ف ق (w-f-q) carries the idea of things fitting together or agreeing. The Form II verb وَفَّقَ (waffaqa) means to make things fit, or to grant someone success, with the sense that an outside force, usually God, aligns circumstances in a person's favor. تَوْفِيق is the verbal noun of this verb, built on the تَفْعِيل (taf'īl) pattern common to many Form II nouns. It became the standard term across the Arabic-speaking world for success seen as a gift rather than a pure product of effort, especially in the everyday well-wish بالتوفيق.
