“Tawfeeq” is often times translated as “success” or “ability”, but tawfeeq has a much deeper meaning.
Shu’ayb alayhi salaam says to his people,

And my tawfeeq is only from Allah. (11:88 )
Tawfeeq from wow fa qaaf, and it literally means reconciliation or to agree. Tawfeeq is the coming together of all means that enable [...]

The “sibghah” of Allah, and who can be better than Allah in “sibghah”? And we are His worshippers. (2:138 )
