Sustenance Part 2
Section 18 of 18 · Faraid in Islam · Ustadh Mahmud Kurkcu
Rizq Is in the Hands of Allah
It is therefore an absolute necessity that a Muslim instil this belief firmly in the heart: rizq is in the hands of Allah (swt); rizq is in the hands of Allah (swt), and trust is to be placed in His promise concerning it.
O Allah, grant the completeness of Your favour, the continuance of wellbeing, a good ending, ample provision, deeds that are accepted, a humble heart, a tongue that remembers You and gives You thanks, and a sincere repentance. Grant guidance, piety, chastity and self-sufficiency; grant beneficial knowledge; grant pardon and wellbeing in religion, in this world and in the next; and let every believer die as a Muslim, joined with the righteous. Bless every heart with certainty in You, with sincerity toward You, with beneficial knowledge and righteous practice; number the believers among the truthful, the martyrs and the righteous; let them die in a state of faith, and come to You with a sound heart. Make every scale light, and spare every believer the trials of what comes after death; let them be among those who enter Paradise without reckoning and without the Bridge, in the company of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) at its very first gate, and make them neighbours to him and to all the messengers, granting them the sight of Your beauty in Paradise.
