How can Rizq (provision) be provided and determined by Allah when I can increase my daily work to attain more Rizq?
Question:
“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.”
Answer:
“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.”
