Health, wealth, food, intelligence, time, substances or ways and even our life 🧬, are different forms of 'Rizq' or 'sustenance' given by Almighty Allah, the Lord of this vast world 🌎
As a Muslim, we believe that Allah (SWT) is 'Ar- Razzaq', the provider, the sustainer. Whatever we have, are the blessings from Him.
As a 'Mumin', a 'believer ', we should uphold the spirit of intentions that_
🔹 Spending 💰 on the path of Almighty Allah by achieving lots of Rizq.
🔷 Looking after family
🔷 Helping others
🔷 Gaining the Jannatul Ferdous, the highest place
🔰In the light🕯️ of the Holy Quran, we can reflect on some ayats/ verses, that will help to increase our sustenances, in sha Allah.
♣️ Taqwa (consciousness of Almighty Allah):
Those who have Taqwa, Allah (swt) will definitely make a way out from the problems. This is a promise from Allah, so whatever calamities or tests we might face in life, we should be steadfast on our Taqwa🧡
🌺وَّيَرۡزُقۡهُ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ لَا يَحۡتَسِبُ ؕ وَمَنۡ يَّتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى اللّٰهِ فَهُوَ حَسۡبُهٗ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بَالِغُ اَمۡرِهٖ ؕ قَدۡ جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ لِكُلِّ شَىۡءٍ قَدۡرًا🌺
"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."
(Sura- At Talaaq, Verse:3)
♣️Tawakkul ( Having strong faith and reliance on Almighty Allah):
Since, from the previous verse mentioned above in Sura- At Talaaq, ayat 3, Allah will never do injustice and every single one of us get our due portion, to have that type of complete faith is Tawakkul.
♣️ Spending💰 on the path of Allah:
🌺مَنۡ ذَا الَّذِىۡ يُقۡرِضُ اللّٰهَ قَرۡضًا حَسَنًا فَيُضٰعِفَهٗ لَهٗۤ اَضۡعَافًا کَثِيۡرَةً ؕ وَاللّٰهُ يَقۡبِضُ وَيَبۡصُۜطُ ۖ وَ اِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُوۡنَ🌺
"Who of you will lend Allah a goodly loan which He will return after multiplying it for him manifold? For Allah has the power both to decrease and increase, and to Him will you be returned."
( Sura- Al Baqarah, verse:245)
We should spend only to get the pleasure of Almighty Allah not to test the words of Him.
The way we hold our intentions, the results will be the same. Those who give charity having Taqwa and Tawakkul, their rizq increases manifolds.
🌺وَاِذۡ تَاَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمۡ لَٮِٕنۡ شَكَرۡتُمۡ لَاَزِيۡدَنَّـكُمۡ وَلَٮِٕنۡ كَفَرۡتُمۡ اِنَّ عَذَابِىۡ لَشَدِيۡدٌ🌺
"And remember! your Lord caused to be declared (publicly): “If ye are grateful, I will add more (favours) unto you; But if ye show ingratitude, truly My punishment is terrible indeed.”
(Sura- Ibrahim, verse:7)
♣️ To be grateful:
The general rule is, if we show gratitude, rizq increases but if we complains constantly, Rizq decreases immensely.
Whatever Allah has given us, no matter whether it's less or more, we should always be grateful to Him. This will increase our rizq as well as self satisfaction.
We should make a habit of reflecting on every single blessings we have in our life and be grateful💞
♣️ Istigfar( To seek forgiveness):
(Sura Nuh: verses 10-12)
🌺فَقُلۡتُ اسۡتَغۡفِرُوۡا رَبَّكُمۡؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ غَفَّارًا🌺
10. "Saying, 'Ask forgiveness from your Lord; for He is Oft-Forgiving;
🌺يُّرۡسِلِ السَّمَآءَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ مِّدۡرَارًا🌺
11. He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in [continuing] showers
🌺وَّيُمۡدِدۡكُمۡ بِاَمۡوَالٍ وَّبَنِيۡنَ وَيَجۡعَلۡ لَّـكُمۡ جَنّٰتٍ وَّيَجۡعَلۡ لَّـكُمۡ اَنۡهٰرًا🌺
12. 'Give you increase in wealth and sons; and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers (of flowing water).
🔹These advices given by Prophet Nuh (AS) towards his people so that their rizq might increase and they may get forgiveness from Allah.
🔹These ayats includes rains, wealth, offsprings, gardens and rivers, which are termed as 'Rizq'.
Since, every single moments, we do sins, Knowingly or unknowingly, we should make tawbah and istigfar often, so that we get barakah in our rizq and get the pleasures of Almighty Allah.
✨Prophet (SA) said: Those who whishes their rizq should increase and get hayats or long life, they should protect the ties of kinship.✨
♣️ Protecting the ties of family
A Muslim can never go on his life all by himself, by breaking the ties with his family.
If we try to keep this family bonding strong, Allah will definitely give barakah to our rizq and hayat🧡
🔹This duniya is actually a way to reach Jannat, the highest happy place, getting the pleasure of Allah, is the main goal.🧡
🔹Remember that, more rizq accounts for more accountability.
May Allah make our life ease, and give us understanding, ameen💛
