Trust in Islam includes everything that Allah has entrusted to you and instructed you to take care of. That includes guarding your physical faculties from engaging in anything that is not pleasing to Allah, and guarding anything that has been entrusted to you that has to do with the rights and dues of others.

Self-confidence in Islam means being aware of what Allah has given you of good characteristics and striving accordingly to attain that which will benefit you. If you misuse self-confidence, you will be filled with arrogance and self -admiration, which are two destructive problems.
