Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى says:
إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الرَّزَّاقُ
ذُو الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِينُ
'Verily, Allâh is the All-Provider, Owner of Power, the Most Strong.'
'Verily, Allâh is the All-Provider, Owner of Power, the Most Strong.'
(Adh-Dhariyat 51:58)
Allaah says that He is الرَّزَّاقُ, the
One
Who Provides, and الرَّزَّاقُ shows emphasis that He is the ONLY Provider and that everything
turns to Him for their provision. When Allaah has undertaken to provide us our
rizq, then it is upon us to busy ourselves with worshiping Him as worshiping and fulfilling the purpose for that which we were created brings immense benefit to us.
Allaah is stressing that He is الرَّزَّاقُ and
our provision is already written for us. Why busy ourselves with that
which is already written for us? What we find is that mankind in general is busy with that which Allaah has
given them and that which He سُبحانه وتعالى is responsible for.
