    Surah Hud Ayah 6: Reflection on Allah's Sustenance

    In the Qur'an, Allah emphasizes His boundless mercy and provision for all living creatures. Surah Hud Ayah 6 is a profound reminder of this reality.



    ۞ وَمَا مِن دَآبَّةٍۢ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ رِزْقُهَا وَيَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسْتَوْدَعَهَا ۚ كُلٌّۭ فِى كِتَـٰبٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ٦



    And no moving (living) creature is there on earth but its provision is due from Allâh. And He knows its dwelling place and its deposit (in the uterus, grave). All is in a Clear Book (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfûz - the Book of Decrees with Allâh).

    Tawakkul & Rizq : Surah At-Talaq Ayah 3

    Tawakkul (trust in Allah) & Rizq : Surah At-Talaq Ayah 3

    Have sole reliance on Allah to bring you Rizq from his bounty while taking the means. 

    65:3


    وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ ۚ وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُۥٓ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بَـٰلِغُ أَمْرِهِۦ ۚ قَدْ جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ قَدْرًۭا ٣



    And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. And whosoever puts his trust in Allâh, then He will suffice him. Verily, Allâh will accomplish his purpose. Indeed Allâh has set a measure for all things.


    Sunan Ibn Majah 4164

    ‘Umar ؓ said :
    “I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘If you were to rely upon Allah with the reliance He is due, you would be given provision like the birds: They go out hungry in the morning and come back with full bellies in the evening.”

    "‏ لَوْ أَنَّكُمْ تَوَكَّلْتُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ حَقَّ تَوَكُّلِهِ لَرَزَقَكُمْ كَمَا يَرْزُقُ الطَّيْرَ تَغْدُو خِمَاصًا وَتَرُوحُ بِطَانًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

    Istighfar (Seeking Forgiveness) Brings Rizq - Insights from Surah Nuh (Verses 10-12)

    In Surah Nuh, Allah emphasizes the importance of seeking forgiveness (Istighfar) as a means to attract blessings and provision (rizq). These verses serve as a reminder of Allah’s mercy and the abundance that comes from sincere repentance.

    Surah Nuh Verses 10, 11 and 12

    فَقُلْتُ ٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ غَفَّارًۭا ١٠

    يُرْسِلِ ٱلسَّمَآءَ عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًۭا ١١

    وَيُمْدِدْكُم بِأَمْوَٰلٍۢ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ جَنَّـٰتٍۢ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ أَنْهَـٰرًۭا ١٢

    "I said (to them): ‘Ask forgiveness from your Lord, verily, He is Oft-Forgiving;

    ‘He will send rain to you in abundance,

    ‘And give you increase in wealth and children, and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers.’"

    The Power of Dua from Quran 28:24: Prophet Musa's Prayer for Sustenance

    Introduction: Understanding the Power of Dua

    Dua, or supplication, is a direct form of communication with Allah (SWT). It is a way to seek His mercy, guidance, and sustenance. Among the many beautiful Duas in the Quran, one stands out for its simplicity and depth: the Dua of Prophet Musa (AS) from Surah Al-Qasas (28:24). This is a supplication for provision and help at a time of great need.


    The Dua from Quran 28:24

    The verse reads:
    فَسَقَىٰ لَهُمَا ثُمَّ تَوَلَّىٰٓ إِلَى ٱلظِّلِّ فَقَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى لِمَآ أَنزَلْتَ إِلَىَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍۢ فَقِيرٌۭ ٢٤

    So he watered (their flocks) for them, then he turned back to shade, and said: "My Lord! truly, I am in need of whatever good that You bestow on me!"

    the Dua:
     رَبِّ إِنِّى لِمَآ أَنزَلْتَ إِلَىَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍۢ فَقِيرٌۭ

    "My Lord! truly, I am in need of whatever good that You bestow on me!"

    (Quran 28:24)

    This powerful prayer is a reminder of our dependency on Allah for all forms of provision and sustenance. It was made by Prophet Musa (AS) after fleeing from Egypt and finding himself alone and in need of help. The simplicity of the Dua reflects complete reliance on Allah's mercy and the acknowledgment that only He can provide what we need in difficult times.


    Applying This Dua in Your Life

    Muslims can recite this beautiful Dua when seeking Allah's assistance, especially in times of financial or personal hardship. It is a reminder to humble ourselves before Allah, acknowledging that all good comes from Him. By making this Dua, we not only seek physical sustenance but also spiritual and emotional support, asking for Allah's Barakah (blessing) in every aspect of our lives.

    In times of need, this powerful Dua from Prophet Musa (AS) reminds us to place our trust in Allah alone.


    Conclusion

    The Dua from Quran 28:24 is a timeless supplication that holds great significance for Muslims worldwide. Whether you are facing financial struggles, career challenges, or personal difficulties, turning to Allah with this simple yet profound Dua can help you find the sustenance and guidance you need. Remember, Allah is Ar-Razzaq (The Provider), and by sincerely asking for His provision, you open doors to His abundant mercy and blessings.
