My Rizq

توكلت في رزقي على الله خالقي *** و أيقنت أن الله لا شك رازقي


و ما يك من رزقي فليس يفوتني *** و لو كان في قاع البحار العوامق


سيأتي به الله العظيم بفضله *** و لو لم يكن مني اللسان بناطقي


ففي أي شيء تذهب النفس حسرة *** و قد قسم الرحمن رزق الخلائق



When it comes to my provisions, I rely upon Allah, my Creator


And I know with certainty that He will no doubt provide for me.


Whatever’s in my due, will not pass me by,


Even if it were to be in the depths of the sea.


Allah the Exalted will bring it forth by His Grace,


Even if I were to remain silent over it.


So, what can a soul feel sorrow over,


When the Most Merciful has set the provisions of the creation?



- Imam al-Shafi’i

  1. Whomever Allah gives provision and he thinks that Allah is not testing him, has no wisdom. Whomever has little provision and thinks that Allah will not look at (provide for him ) him, has no wisdom.

  2. Al Hasan Al basri attended a funeral prayer. When they had buried the dead person he said to a man from the gathering: ” do you think that this dead person would wish to come back to the earth to increase his deeds from thikr, good actions and istighfaar from his sins?” the man replied yes, so al Hasan said,
    “then why arent we like this dead person?”
