Rizq- True Sustenance Is From Allah- Ar Razzaq

[FADIA BINT ISMAIL]

To begin with, ar-Razzaq is one of the names of Allah. If you study this name it means that He is the Only Owner of provision and He's the Onlyprovider. If you look in the Qur'an you will discover the following verses:

 

 

 

“There is no moving creature on earth but its sustenance depends on Allah: He knows the time and place of its definite abode and its temporary deposit: all is in a clear Record.”

 

Surah Hud: verse 6,

 

 

 

“For Allah is He Who gives (all) Sustenance, - Lord of Power, - Steadfast (for ever).”

 

Az-Zariyat: 58,

 

 

 

“Let the man of means spend according to His means; and the man whose resources are restricted, let him spend according to what Allah has given him. Allah puts no burden on any person beyond what He has given him. After a difficulty, Allah will soon grant relief.”

 

At-Talaq: verse 7,

 

 

 

“If Allah were to enlarge the provision for His servants, they would indeed transgress beyond all bounds through the earth; but He sends (it) down in due measure as He pleases. For He is with His servants Well-acquainted, Watchful.”

 

Ash-Shura: 27,

 

 

 

“but the provision of your Lord is better and more enduring.”

 

TaHa, 131,

 

 

 

“And for those who fear Allah, He (ever) prepares a way out,

 

And He provides for him from (sources) he never could imagine. And if any one puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is (Allah) for him. For Allah will surely accomplish His purpose: verily for all things has Allah appointed a due proportion.”

 

At-Talaq: verse 2&3,

 

 

 

“And remember Abraham said: “My Lord, make this a City of Peace, and feed its People with fruits, - such of them as believe in Allah and the Last Day.” He said; “(Yes), and such as reject Faith, - for a while will I grant them their pleasure, but will soon drive them to the torment of Fire, - an evil destination (indeed)!”

 

Al-Baqarah: 126,

 

 

 

“But when they see some bargain or some amusement, they disperse headlong to it, and leave you standing. Say: “The (blessing) from the Presence of Allah is better than any amusement or bargain! And Allah is the Best to provide (for all needs).”

 

Al-Jumu’ah: 11,
