Provision is controlled by Allah in every respect

1366

Q 2: How can Rizq (provision) be provided and determined by Allah when I can increase my daily work to attain more Rizq? How can Rizq be decreed and determined for me so that I cannot increase or decrease it?Are there any books that clarify these issues? Please guide us.

A: Rizq is from Allah. He creates, determines, gives, bestows and provides the means for gaining it. A servant uses ways and means whether they are easy or difficult, a lot or a little. Allah predestines and provides the means out of His Mercy. Therefore, Rizq is ascribed to Allah with regard to predestining and granting a servant the causes and means to his gain.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
