Our effort towards our Deen proves to Allah (swt) that we are ready for more Rizq. His provisions, therefore, come in doses each dose is carefully ladled out to the slave, who proves that the previous dose only increased his/her faith and piety. It is absolutely clear from the above verse that if Allah (swt) sent maximum provisions to all, they would not learn the value of hard work, honesty and diligence. Verily! He is in respect of His slaves, the Well-Aware, the All-Seer (of things that benefit them).” (Ash-Shura, 42:27) ![]() #SURAH WAQIAH FOR RIZQ HOW TO#It is high time we recognize the real source of Rizq – Allah (swt) – who not only provides it, but has also given a comprehensive set of rules on how to increase it.Īllah (swt) says: “And if Allah were to enlarge the provision for His slaves, they would surely rebel in the earth, but He sends down by measure as He wills. Consequently, they become guilty of not only attributing their source of earning to someone other than Allah (swt), but also of harboring suspicion against their own family members or acquaintances. They seem to forget that the source of Rizq, or sustenance, is solely Allah (swt) and nobody else. Sounds familiar? There is no end to the ways and means that people employ in order to ‘drive away’ the ‘evil forces’ conspiring against them and hindering their earning. I think somebody has inflicted me with the evil eye, or I have been a victim of magic.” People often complain: “Oh, I have lately suffered great financial loss, and it keeps getting worse. Why did you not consider yourself to be akin to the sparrow who was providing food to the crippled sparrow? You could consider yourself as someone who can go out to earn sustenance, and then Allah (swt) will provide not just for you, but for others too – through you.” The teacher smiled and said: “You have learned only half the lesson. The man narrated his observation and the conclusion he had drawn from it. After returning, he met his teacher, who asked him why he had come back so early. When he witnessed this, he immediately realized that if Allah (swt) could provide for this crippled sparrow, He could certainly provide sustenance for him, and, hence, he returned to his town. A crippled sparrow (born without wings) was lying somewhere, and another sparrow was bringing it seeds and grains to eat. During his journey, he came upon a strange sight. It is said that a righteous man once left his town in search for Rizq-e-Halal. Inspired by a book titled “15 Ways to Increase Your Earnings from the Quran and Sunnah” by Shaykh Yasir Qadhi.
