On the other hand, if the driver goes for many rounds in the city and does not rely on Allah, he is missing out on The One who provides and gives, therefore deluding his achievements or failure merely due to his own efforts.

👉📢🍇A believer needs to be aware that whatever he/she brings to the table at home is merely a part of the Rizq Allah has bestowed upon him/her. We can look at how the day went without accidents and the family being able to commune under one roof as also Rizq. The situation where the children can learn and be good Muslims is also Rizq.

There is just so much that Allah gives us but we tend to overlook and only focus on the hardships that He tests us with.

Rizq is not only the physical. It encompasses everything from that which is emotional and spiritual as well, such as the feelings of contentment and peace for example.

📢 *Various factors that will help prosper our Rizq*

With all that has been said about Rizq, there are times where we still struggle to understand and feel threatened while looking at our bills. We feel insecure about whether we can get through the year with what we have.

🌷Some might even consider investing in means that are illegal in Islam to pull through. No doubt these whispers come from Syaitan himself. Allah mentions in Surah Al-Baqarah:

الشَّيْطَانُ يَعِدُكُمُ الْفَقْرَ وَيَأْمُرُكُم بِالْفَحْشَاءِ ۖ وَاللَّهُ يَعِدُكُم مَّغْفِرَةً مِّنْهُ وَفَضْلًا ۗ وَاللَّهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ

“The Devil threatens you with (the prospect of) poverty and bids you to the shameful deed (of stinginess), while Allah promises you forgiveness and (great) bounties from Him. And Allah is All-Bountiful, All-Knowing.”(Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:268).

👉The key to prosperity in our Rizq is something that everyone can achieve. Since Rizq comes from Allah, getting closer to Him will automatically earn the individual His favours. Allah Himself promises in various Quranic verses and hadith narrations the keys to Rizq, some of which are:

▪️. *Solat*
A prayer commonly associated with Rizq is the Dhuha Prayer. Nevertheless, Allah mentions prayer in its entirety in the following verse, signalling that any prayer done with sincerity and solemnity may bring the Rizq one requires:

                                   وَأْمُرْ أَهْلَكَ بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱصْطَبِرْ عَلَيْهَا ۖ لَا نَسْـَٔلُكَ رِزْقًۭا ۖ نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُكَ ۗ وَٱلْعَـٰقِبَةُ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ

“Bid your people to pray and be diligent in (observing) it. We do not ask you to provide. It is We Who provide for you. And the ultimate outcome is (only) for (the people of) righteousness.”(Surah Taha, 20:132)

▪️. *Supplications*
The Prophet s.a.w. used to make this supplication in his mornings. It is notable that the Prophet continued reciting this prayer despite being the closest to Allah. Hence let us follow in his footsteps and continue asking from Ar-Razzaq, no matter our status in this world.

We can include the following in our prayers too:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا، وَرِزْقًا طَيِّبًا، وَعَمَلًا مُتَقَبَّلًا
“Oh Allah, I ask of you for beneficial knowledge, good provision and deeds that are accepted!”

(Musnad Imam Ahmad)

rizq is from allah

▪️. *Istighfar*
In Surah Nuh, Allah tells us of the story of the Prophet Nuh a.s. who preached to his people to worship Allah. Among his call to them was the seeking of forgiveness (istighfar), which results in Rizq from Allah s.w.t:
___*PAGE 7*___.
✍️...

                                        فَقُلْتُ ٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ غَفَّارًۭا. يُرْسِلِ ٱلسَّمَآءَ عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًۭا. وَيُمْدِدْكُم بِأَمْوَٰلٍۢ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ جَنَّـٰتٍۢ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ أَنْهَـٰرًۭا

“And I said, ‘Seek your Lord’s forgiveness, for He is truly Most Forgiving. He will shower you with abundant rain. And he will supply you with wealth and children, and give you gardens as well as rivers.”

(Surah Nuh, 71:10–12).

After the call to seek forgiveness, Allah tells us in the following verse that he will send Rizq in multiple expressions. A simple prayer of ‘astaghfirullah’ with the heart and soul put into it could open the gates of Rizq.

Therefore, one should never undermine a deed, however small it may seem to the mortal eye. Other means to be blessed with Rizq include having taqwa (mindfulness in Allah), constantly having tawakkul (reliance) upon Him and giving charity in His name.

👉This does not mean that these deeds should be neglected if one is already rich or living the easy life. In response to such an attitude, Allah s.w.t. warns us firmly in the following verse:

وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَئِن شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ ۖ وَلَئِن كَفَرْتُمْ إِنَّ عَذَابِي لَشَدِيدٌ

And (remember) when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you are grateful, I will surely increase you (in favour); but if you deny, surely My punishment is severe.'

(Surah Ibrahim, 14:7).

Indeed, everything belongs to Him and Man has no right to boast and be arrogant of the Rizq he is given to possess.                                              📢🍇To conclude, one can see that the concept of *Rizq is something easy to digest and preach about. It can be understood by almost anybody, in theory. However, different people react to the absence of sustenance differently.*🌷 When pushed to the edge, hungry, torn and desperate, will we still put the theory to practice?
Allah knows best

🙏 *We pray that Allah Ar-Raaziq provides us with the strength to do so and may Allah make us amongst His righteous servants*.
