To take all necessary steps
الأخذ بالأسباب Is not something to do with thinking. It is rather to take all necessary steps and procedures that ensure your success, and only then leave the final result to God, after you have "done your homework" as they say.

: one cannot "take all necessary steps that ensure success -or- do homework" without thinking! It is "reasonable thinking to act properly".. اعقلها وتوكل: think your act and keep trust!
