Arabic calligraphy of Hawqala
The Ḥawqala (Arabic: الحوقلة) is an Arabic word referring to the statement lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā billāh (In Arabic written as 'لا حول ولاقوة إلا بالله') which is usually translated as 'There is no might nor power except in Allah.' This expression is mentioned by a Muslim whenever seized by a calamity or in a situation beyond their control. The word Ḥawqala is a portmanteau (or naḥt) of the words ḥawla and quwwata.[1]

The English translation does not completely convey the full meaning of the phrase.[citation needed] For example, translating the word ḥawla as 'power' is an oversimplification. The Hans Wehr Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic shows the linguistic verb root for ḥawla as ḥ-w-l, and it depicts all manner of change, transformation and motion.
