*SEEK OUT SUSTENANCE BUT DON'T BE COVETOUS*

All glory and praise is for the Creator and Provider. He gives sustenance to the worm in the ground, the fish beneath water, the bird in the air, the ant in dark, and the snake within the crevice of a rock.

Ibn al-Jawzi mentioned something be witnessed that was wonderful yet strange. A blind snake lived on a branch at the top of a tree. A bird would come to it with food in its mouth. It would chip a signal to the snake, which in return would open its mouth and allow the bird to insert the food. All praise and glory belongs to ALLĀH, Who made this one to help the other.

Surah Al-Anaam, Verse 38:

وَمَا مِن دَابَّةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا طَائِرٍ يَطِيرُ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ إِلَّا أُمَمٌ أَمْثَالُكُم مَّا فَرَّطْنَا فِي الْكِتَابِ مِن شَيْءٍ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يُحْشَرُونَ

There is not a moving (living) creature on earth, nor a bird that flies with its two wings, but are communities like you. We have neglected nothing in the Book, then unto their Lord they (all) shall be gathered.

Provision came to Maryam (Mary) day and night. It was said to her, "How does this come to you." She replied, "It is from ALLĀH. Verily, ALLĀH provides for whom He wishes without reckoning." So do not worry, for your sustenance is guaranteed.

Surah Al-Isra, Verse 31:

وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا أَوْلَادَكُمْ خَشْيَةَ إِمْلَاقٍ نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُهُمْ وَإِيَّاكُمْ إِنَّ قَتْلَهُمْ كَانَ خِطْئًا كَبِيرًا

And kill not your children for fear of poverty. We provide for them and for you. Surely, the killing of them is a great sin.

People must realise that the Provider for both father and son is the One Who begets not, nor is He begotten.

The proprietor of infinite treasures has guaranteed your sustenance.

 Surah Al-Ankaboot, Verse 17:

إِنَّمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ أَوْثَانًا وَتَخْلُقُونَ إِفْكًا إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ لَكُمْ رِزْقًا فَابْتَغُوا عِندَ اللَّهِ الرِّزْقَ وَاعْبُدُوهُ وَاشْكُرُوا لَهُ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ

"You worship besides Allah only idols, and you only invent falsehood. Verily, those whom you worship besides Allah have no power to give you provision, so seek your provision from Allah (Alone), and worship Him (Alone), and be grateful to Him. To Him (Alone) you will be brought back.

Surah Ash-Shuara, Verse 79:

وَالَّذِي هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِي وَيَسْقِينِ

"And it is He Who feeds me and gives me to drink.
