Rizik! I couldn't stop my tears Allah! Your promise is true | Allah provides sustenance for them and you too
 |
| Surah Ankabut 29, Aayat 60 |
When I returned to the house after drying wet clothes in the garden behind the house, I noticed a half-eaten apple lying on the floor. Many ants on the apple. I gave the apple to the older boy to eat two days ago. That day, I saw the apple lying on the floor and thought to pick it up and throw it in the trash, but later forgot. I was thinking about throwing away the apple that day,
That's why Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala didn't remind me to throw away the apple. because the rest of this apple was the sustenance of the ants.
It has happened to me many times before that when I go to eat a plate of rice, the food falls out of my hand and rolls on the floor. Meanwhile, suddenly a cat came from nowhere and started eating the food. We tend to regret or get angry because of our carelessness. But I never thought that this food was not for me but it was Rizik for the cat.
Allah provides sustenance for them and you too
In this way, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala provides physical sustenance to whomever He wills among all His creatures in limited form or in abundance.
“There are many animals that do not store their food. Allah provides sustenance for them and you too. He is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.”
[Surah Ankabut, 60]
maybe many of us are going through financial difficulties at this moment. Maybe many people's days are not going well, You are very worried, you are under a lot of pressure, you are thinking about what to do, maybe it is getting dark from all sides, the earning path of many people is almost closed. I heard a true story two days ago in a lecture. It was difficult to hold back the tears.
Our Allah is our Creator, Allah is our Owner, Allah is our Sustainer.
Shaykh Hatim Al Asam (RA) once expressed his desire to go to Hajj in front of his wife and children. The wife was discouraged and said, "If you go to Hajj now, what will happen to us?" How will our days go, what will we eat and survive? You better drop this thought for now. Go when you have some extra money. Their 10 year old daughter was present in the conversation between the two of them. The girl heard everything and said to her father, Dad, you can safely go to Hajj, you surely go to Hajj, Our Allah is our Creator, Allah is our Owner, Allah is our Sustainer, We have no worries, He will surely see us. Hearing his daughter's words, Shaykh Hatim Al Asam got courage and left for Hajj.
A couple of weeks later. By that time the money left by the Shaykh ran out and there was a shortage of food in the house. Shaykh's wife and his other children were teasing the older girl, what will happen to us now? Very much if you let father go and said Allah will see. Now there is no food in the house and no money to buy food.
The girl didn't respond to their words, went to the inner room and raised her hands in prayer and started saying -
Allah! Your promise is true. you said
"And whoever fears Allah, Allah will make a way of salvation for him. And provide him with sustenance from unexpected places. Sufficient is He who trusts in Allah. Allah will fulfill his work.” [Surah At-Talaq, 2-3]
Oh allah, I fully trusted you.
In the meantime, there was a knock on the door. The girl opened the door and saw a handsome man standing there. The man said, our governor was passing through this road. He is very thirsty. Will some water for him?
The girl arranged water in a very beautiful cup. The governor was very satisfied after drinking the water and asked the subordinate, wow! From which house did you bring this water, I have rarely drunk such delicious water in my life.
The subordinate said, Sir, this is the house of Shaykh Hatim Al Asam. The governor said, let's go and greet him. The man said, Sir, he is not at home, he has gone for Hajj. The governor said, but now it is our responsibility to fulfill all the needs of his family. With this, he placed a bag of gold coins from his pocket in front of the door of the girl's house and said to all his subordinates who were with him, you who like me, give something to this family like me. As soon as they heard this, all the people present there deposited all the gold coins in their pockets in front of the door and left.
Allah will know how much better will treat and reward his servant!
The girl's mother and other sisters were overjoyed but only the girl was crying. Seeing that, the girl's mother said, why are you crying? We did not cry when we had nothing, and now you are crying after getting so much wealth?
The girl replied, I am crying because of one thing. A simple governor of the world was happy to drink water and gave so much and when the king of both worlds, When Allah subahana wa tayala is pleased with his servant, he will know how much better will treat and reward his servant!
Allah subahana wa tayala says!
"Allah extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it]. And they rejoice in the worldly life, while the worldly life is not, compared to the Hereafter, except [brief] enjoyment."
(Ar-Ra'd 13: Verse 26)
