Assalamualaikum WarahmatuAllahi Wabarakaatuhu!!
Everybody has problems and distresses in their lives. And many of the problems in our lives comprise of financial, health and mental distress. At the times of difficulties we usually complain that why isn't Allah helping me, why isn't He answering my prayers quickly, Why can't He just help me already, What did I do to deserve this. These are the types of statements we usually make not realizing the severity of this complaint.
What comes under Rizq? money, health, food, rain, water, resources, clothes, knowledge, talents, parents, children, spouses, every khair etc.
Allah subhanAllah said in Surah Al Ankaboot: Verse 58 "And those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, to them We shall surely give lofty dwellings in Paradise, underneath which rivers flow, to live therein forever. Excellent is the reward of the workers."
The above ayats show us, we actually need to increase our Iman and do good deeds in normal days and even in sad days, then Allah will give us lofty rooms in the Jannah in which they will live eternally. But our problem is that we are living for the world. We are always making duwas for our world. Why don't we focus more on the aakhirah? If we do, then that way Allah subhanAllah will also give us more in the dunya and increase our khair in aakhirah as well. in sha Allah
Also Allah wants us to be patient and put all our trust in Him Alone! Al Ankaboot-59. Those who are patient, and put their trust (only) in their Lord (Allah). Ask yourself, are you patient when you are in distress? Do you become angry, ungrateful or act like a victim when you are afflicted with calamity? The awwal (first) and aakhir (last) amal of distress is what is called Patience. If we scream in the beginning and then become patient, this is not called patient. Some people bear everything with patience in the beginning but burst out when the temperature has reached the boiling point. Real patience comes from being grateful. Say “Alhamdulillah álaa kulli haal–Praise is due to Allah in every condition.” (Narrated by At-Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah) and accept the qadr of Allah even if you do not like some thing that happened to you then say, Qadarallahu wa ma sha faál.
Remember every distress in our life whether it is from people, financial, health, mental, brokenhearts, loss of lives or poverty is nothing but a test from Allah. Allah says at the beginning of this surah Al Ankaboot- Verse 2. Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: "We believe," and will not be tested.
Remember Every single believer will be tested with their most precious things ever, but Allah wants to see whom do we love the most, Allah or people, family or sunnah? dunya or aakhirat? haram or halal? Not that Allah doesn't know what we love the most, He just wants us to know on the Day of Judgment of what we did and that He doesn't punishes us with injustice.
Remember, it is Allah who provides for you. People and your jobs are only an asbaab (means) which are also provided by Allah. So thank Him first and then thank others later. Considering a person or thing to be the "only" reason behind your rizq is shirk. Because you have associated others with the sifat of Allah. Never say because of my patient, I got the rizq. Nay! but because of Allah and His mercy you were given that rizq! Do not say because I am leaving this place, it is raining. Nay! Because it is the mercy of Allah. These are such heedless things to utter but little do we ponder or care!
Allah also says us to not worry about our rizq. Why? because "How many creatures are there that do not carry their provision (rizq) with them? Allah provides for them as He provides for you. And He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower." [Surah Al Ankaboot- 60]
If Allah can provide food and all khair to the animals and all the living creatures out there in the air, land and water when they don't have the capability to earn for themselves nor do they hold their rizq (they don't hold their future rizq), then how did we even think for a second that Allah will not provide for us or that we will never be blessed with goodness in this world? Put your trust in Allah, be patient! Allah is The One who takes care of us not our fathers or our spouses nor the people around us so stop expecting from them.
Every single person will die with his estimated and measured rizq that Allah has written for him in his fate. Whatever is written for us will only reach us as Allah wills. Allah says, : "Allah gives abundantly to whom He wills and sparingly to whom He wills, surely Allah has knowledge of all things." [Al Ankaboot- 62]
So from now on, don't make Rizq as an issue. Just expect from Allah and know that He will give you whilst you even try for it. Be patient, put your trust in Allah, do good deeds, be grateful, pray to Allah at all times then you wouldn't find the time to even complain or let alone feel depressed. Don't worry, the help of Allah is soon to come. Just trust in Allah and say HasbunAllahu wa ne'mal wakeel wa ne'mal maula wa ne'man naseer
