يَتَوَكَّلُونَ they rely

I put my trust in Him and turn back to Him in repentance.

تَوَكَّلْتُ I put my trust

A past-tense verb whose '-tu' ending marks 'I' as the doer, the subject built into the verb's own tail rather than stated apart. It completes the fronted 'upon Him' before it, so the placing of trust is fixed firmly on God.

From Guidance for the Seeker

وَهَذَا الْعَبْدُ يَسْأَلُ رَبَّهُ وَيَتَضَرَّعُ إِلَيْهِ وَيَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَيْهِ

And this servant asks his Lord, implores Him, and trusts in Him.

وَيَتَوَكَّلُ and he trusts in

The 'wa-' joins the third action, and the verb is a present-tense reliance-pattern 'puts his trust', which naturally takes an 'upon...' phrase. The conjunction completes the trio of devotional acts.
