Do Not Be Sad from the Want of Ample Provision.

Do Not Be Sad from the Want of Ample Provision.

Verily, the One Who provides sustenance is Allah. He has made it binding upon Himself that whatever provision He has written for His slaves will reach them.

And in the heaven is your provision, and that which you are promised.

(Quran 51:22)

If Allah is the One Who provides for the creation, why curry favor with people? And why should one degrade himself in front of another person in the hope of procuring from him his sustenance?

Allah says:

And no [moving] living creature is there on earth but its provision is due from Allah.

(Quran 11:6)

Whatever of mercy [i.e. of good], Allah may grant to mankind, none can withhold it, and whatever He may withhold, none can grant it thereafter.

(Quran 35:2)
