Allah's Provision

Say, “Have you considered the provisions Allah has sent down for you, which you have divided into lawful and unlawful?” Say, “Did Allah permit this, or do you invent lies against Him?”.

10:59Say: Have ye considered what provision Allah hath sent down for you, how ye have made of it lawful and unlawful? Hath Allah permitted you, or do ye invent a lie concerning Allah?

Eat what is lawful and good from what Allah has provided.

5:88Eat of that which Allah hath bestowed on you as food lawful and good, and keep your duty to Allah in Whom ye are believers.

16:114So eat of the lawful and good food which Allah hath provided for you, and thank the bounty of your Lord if it is Him ye serve.

And that He enriches and satisfies

53:48And that He it is Who enricheth and contenteth;

Allah is gentle with His servants; He provides for whomever He wills.

42:19Allah is gracious unto His slaves. He provideth for whom He will. And He is the Strong, the Mighty.

You provide for whomever You will without limit.’

3:27Thou causest the night to pass into the day, and Thou causest the day to pass into the night. And Thou bringest forth the living from the dead, and Thou bringest forth the dead from the living. And Thou givest sustenance to whom Thou choosest, without stint.

Allah extends provision abundantly or restricts it for whomever He wills.

13:26Allah enlargeth livelihood for whom He will, and straiteneth (it for whom He will); and they rejoice in the life of the world, whereas the life of the world is but brief comfort as compared with the Hereafter.

17:30Lo! thy Lord enlargeth the provision for whom He will, and straiteneth (it for whom He will). Lo, He was ever Knower, Seer of His slaves.

28:82And morning found those who had coveted his place but yesterday crying: Ah, welladay! Allah enlargeth the provision for whom He will of His slaves and straiteneth it (for whom He will). If Allah had not been gracious unto us He would have caused it to swallow us (also). Ah, welladay! the disbelievers never prosper.

29:62Allah maketh the provision wide for whom He will of His bondmen, and straiteneth it for whom (He will). Lo! Allah is Aware of all things.

Allah has favoured some of you over others in provision. Yet those who are given more do not share their wealth equally with their dependents. Will they then deny Allah’s blessings?

16:71And Allah hath favoured some of you above others in provision. Now those who are more favoured will by no means hand over their provision to those (slaves) whom their right hands possess, so that they may be equal with them in respect thereof. Is it then the grace of Allah that they deny?

Every creature on earth depends on Allah for sustenance. He knows where it dwells and where it rests.

11:6And there is not a beast in the earth but the sustenance thereof dependeth on Allah. He knoweth its habitation and its repository. All is in a clear Record.

Whoever desires the harvest of the Hereafter, We shall increase it for him.

42:20Whoso desireth the harvest of the Hereafter, We give him increase in its harvest. And whoso desireth the harvest of the world, We give him thereof, and he hath no portion in the Hereafter.
