 فشرف بل اشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا دا دا دا لا وياله من شراف عظيمي الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل وأشد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحق وهو يهد السبيل وأشد أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد التوبيق إن شاء الله وتعالى that I'm going to be speaking about in this lecture today is تدبير الله أرزاق العباد that Allah is the one who runs the provision of the creation is the one who sustains for his creation الله سبحانه وتعالى and the reason why I thought it was important for me to talk about this topic was because of how I saw the Muslims become in regards to making money every now and then I travel to central London and sometimes you end up bumping into the Muslim person of talking and discussing an issue or you even hear the disbelievers talking and so what you realise when you're in central London is this place is the place where people are 90% or 80% of the people here are money oriented businessmen, CEO, project managers so I thought to myself every conversation that you over here is about the issue of money how to make money and sometimes we forget that this is in the hands of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and from the 99 names of Allah that we know the name أرزاق is from one of his names Allah is called أرزاق and Allah سبحانه وتعالى his names are not just names من عقيدة أهل السنة والجماعة from the belief of أهل السنة والجماعة is Allah's names are أعلام باعتبال دلالتها على ذات واصاف باعتبال دلالتها على المعاني that Allah سبحانه وتعالى his names they hold meanings Allah's names they hold meanings and those meanings are what Allah is for example أرحمن the most merciful this is the characteristics of Allah Allah is very merciful سبحانه وتعالى so أرزاق is a name of his and it means that he is the one who provides and that is what Allah سبحانه وتعالى states in the Quran as he says in سورة الضاريات he says وما خلقت الجنة والإنسى إلا ليعبدون ما أريد منهم من رسل وما أريد أن يطعمون I do not want to give me sustenance إن الله هو الرزاق ذلق وتلمتين الله سبحانه وتعالى he says وما خلقت الجنة والإنسى إلا ليعبدون I did not create the gene nor the ins except to worship me Allah then says ما أريد منهم I do not want from them من رزق وما أريد أن يطعمون I do not want إن الله هو الرزاق ذلق وتلمتين rather الله is the one who provides سبحانه وتعالى so this ayat is very powerful or these verses more like and these ayat are very powerful if you ponder and you analyze the context in which this ayat was mentioned in إن الله هو الرزاق ذلق وتلمتين you realize that the verse before it الله was talking about the purpose in why he created you and as the scholars of say that the context are from the things that restrict the meaning more like it narrows down the meaning if there's a verse you don't truly understand what it means you look at the context and it becomes clear to you what the verse is talking about so الله says before وما خلقت الجنة والإنساء إلا ليعبدون I did not create the jinn nor the ins except to worship me so this the ultimate goal in why Allah created you سبحانه وتعالى is to worship him alone as Ibn Abbas said إلا ليعبدون أي وحدون to singu Allah in worship إفراد الله بالعبادة to singu Allah in worship that is the purpose why Allah brought you to this earth that is the ultimate goal that is the purpose of your life then Allah reminds you of رزق which is something that the human needs and requires Allah then says to you ما أريد منهم الرزق وما أريد عن your طعمون الله says I don't want رزق from you so when you're worshipping Allah you're not providing him with something you're not giving him something you're not sustaining الله تبارك وتعالى you're doing yourself a favor you're coming with what is needed from you which doesn't give الله تبارك وتعالى nothing in return it doesn't increase الله تبارك وتعالى's kingdom nor does it weaken الله تبارك وتعالى so Allah doesn't need anything from you He doesn't want you to provide for him then Allah reminds you No, rather you, you, you I'm the one who provides for you إن الله هو الرزاق وذلقوة المتين Allah is the one who provides for you Allah is the one who gives you and this ayah as I said it's in the context of what وما خلقت الجنلة والإنسى إلا لي عبدون if we come with the ultimate purpose in which we were created for الله سبحانه وتعالى is telling us that risk is something I will provide you with إن الله هو الرزاق وذلقوة المتين and later insha'Allah وتعالى in the lecture we will insha'Allah وتعالى see examples for this examples to prove this the second point that I want to talk about is is the risk that Allah تبارك وتعالى has has made is large in quantity and is large in amount that you and I are not able to bring an end to it if we take, we took on all the risk on the face of this earth and we try to finish it off it will still remain until the day of judgment and that is the تفسيل of قوله وتعالى إذا زلزلة الأرض وزلزالها الله tells us the day of judgment the earth will shake the earthquake will happen إذا زلزلة الأرض وزلزالها وأخرجة الأرض وأثقالها and the earth brings out what it brings out its load وأخرجة الأرض وأثقالها the scholars they mentioned and this is the call of the جمهور المفصرين is that وأخرجة الأرض وأثقالها means it's clues the treasures the risk that are in this earth will come out when will this come out the day of judgment so the risk in this earth will come out and that shows you that the day of judgment will come and there are still risk there are provisions there are qunous treasures in this earth which hasn't been used that will come out الله tells us وأخرجة الأرض وأثقالها that the earth brings out its load وصول الله تبارك وتعالى he tells us هو الذي خلق لكم ما في الأرض جميعا الله is the one who created for you everything on this earth he also says وسخر لكم ما في السماوات وما في الأرض جميعا من إن في ذلك لايات اللي قومية تفكرون الله has made easy for you and provided for you everything that is in the world and that everything that is on this earth all of it إن في ذلك لايات really there are signs in this لقومية تفكرون for people who ponder people who think who are intellects also الله سبحانه وتعالى he says ألم تروا أن الله سخر لكم ما في السماوات وما في الأرض وأسبغ عليكم نعمه ظاهرة وباطنة ومن الناس من يجادل في الله بغير علم ولا هودا ولا كتاب منير الله says do you not see that Allah has provided for you everything that is in the سماوات and everything that is on this earth وأسبغ عليكم نعمه and that Allah has poured on to you his blessings ظاهرة وباطنة apparent and internally الله has poured it all on to you ومن الناس and from the people are those من يجادل في الله and those who argue in the affairs of Allah بغير علم without knowledge ولا هودا ولا كتاب منير ولا كتاب منير and they don't also have a guiding book they speak without knowledge and understanding and comprehension and no guidance after what after Allah has given them all of this blessing on this earth all the treasures all these razaq that they have on this earth Allah provided for them but with the ignorance what did they say by the atheists there is no God they don't worship him سبحانه وتعالى also Allah تبارك وتعالى he says وجعل فيها رواسية من فوقها وبارك فيها وقدر فيها أقواتها في أربعة أيام سواء للسائلين وقدر فيها أقواتها الله had destined and he placed on this earth أقواتها their provision my beloved brothers and sisters the seriousness of this matter had become so much that Allah had to swear سبحانه وتعالى that he provides for us and that he's going to provide for us and that the risk of Allah is not going to come to an end that the Samawat will always produce it because I just brought an evidence that the earth will always produce until the day of judgment وأخرجة الأرض وأثقالها but the Samawat will also produce it will also produce a risk for us like the earth will produce crops for us الله سبحانه وتعالى he says وفي السماء رزقكم وماتوا عدون فورب السماء الله سبحانه وتعالى he says وفي السماء رزقكم وماتوا عدون فورب السماء والأرض إنه لحقكم مثلما أنكم تنتقون الله says to us verily in the Samawat is your provision in the Samawat there is your provision وماتوا عدون and that which you have been promised then الله سبحانه وتعالى he says فورب السماء I swear by the Lord of the Samاء والأرض and the Lord of this earth الله is swearing إنه لحق it is true what I am saying مثلما أنكم تنتقون like the way you are uttering the way you are speaking and you are uttering is true is the same way that الله سبحانه وتعالى what he is saying it is true حسن البصري رحمه الله he said on the commentary on this verse he said لعن الله أقواما may Allah's curse be upon the people أقسم لهم ربهم الله swore for them الله assured them and he made an oath سبحانه وتعالى فلم يصدقوا and they did not believe in him they did not trust him سبحانه وتعالى also الله gave us reassurance the first stage is what my beloved brothers and sisters the first stage was الله gave us a guarantee that he is going to provide for us look what he said وَمَا مِنْ دَابَتٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا عَلَى عَلَا اللَّهِ رِزْقُهَا Allah says there is no riding beast on the face of this earth except that its provision is on Allah تبارك وتعالى Allah mentions this in Surah Tuhud and then in Surah Dariat الله تبارك وتعالى it was he takes a stage more not just guarantee but Allah says for you he says سبحانه وتعالى وَفِي السَّمَاءِ رِزْقُكُمْ وَمَا تُعَدُونَ فَوَ رَبِّ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ إِنَّهُ لَحَقُمْ مِتْلَمَ اِنَّكُمْ تَنْتِقُونَ and then Allah doesn't just stop there سبحانه وتعالى he takes a stage further سبحانه وتعالى he told you rely on me trust me rely on me by saying وتوكل على الحي الذي لا يموت rely on the one who is alive and he never dies rely on me trust in me believe in me ولذلك عمر رضي الله تعالى عنه he narrated from the prophet peace be upon him that he said if you only relied on Allah the way that the bad relies on Allah الله will provide for you the way he provides for the bad the bad leaves with an empty stomach and it comes back with a full stomach and Imam would tear me to narrate this in his Sunan so that's the stage brothers ابن القيام said if you do not find tranquility in Allah's guarantee Allah is guaranteeing you is promising you if you do not have tranquility and ease at the promise of Allah ولم يقتنع بقسمه and you're not convinced with Allah's oath ولم يبالي بأمره وعدين and you also do not consider and take into consideration Allah's command and Allah's promise then you are فور من الهالي كينا then you are truly from those who are destroyed you are truly from those who are destroyed my beloved brothers and sisters if Allah says to you that the provision I'm going to give to you is never going to come to him in such a large quantity I have enough more than what you can ask for Allah says in the Hadith القتسي narrated by on the authority of the Hadith is very long and it's a Hadith قتسي يا عبادي my slaves كلكم جائعون are hungry إلا من أطعم to accept the one I provide for the one I give to فاستطعوني اطعيمكم ask me for provision and food and sustenance and I will give it to you until the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said that Allah سبحانه وتعالى said يا عبادي my slaves لو أن أولكم وآخركم وإنسكم وجنكم قاموا في صعيد واحد فسألوني فأعطيت كل واحدة في مسألة ما نقس ذلك مما عند إلا كما ينقص المخيط إلى أدخل البحر المسجد قال الله يا عبادي my slaves لو أولكم وأولكم وجنكم وجنكم وإنسكم جميعكم قاموا في صعيد وقاموا الله وقاموا وقاموا وقاموا كل واحدكم وقاموا ذلك will not decrease what is with الله except that which when a needle goes into the ocean what it decreases which is nothing it's the same way that Allah treasures it will not decrease my beloved brothers and sisters الله سبحانه وتعالى He placed and He made the risk in a way that even if you try to get away from it it will come to you there's a حديث الإمام أبو نوعيم الأصبهاني رحمه الله أصبهاني however you want to say it it's a book حلية الأولياء وطبقات الأصفياء ابن عساكر أوسو نريتر الإنس تاريخ ديبشق الشيخة للباني authenticated this ذات جاب ربي الله تعالى عنه He said that دماثن صلى الله عليه وسلم وسان لو أن نبن آدم هرب من رزقي كما يهرب من الموت لأدركه رزقه كما يدركه الموت إذا إذا أبو آدم رزقه من رزقه كما يدركه من الموت ثم رزقه سيأتي كما سيأتي سيأتي سيأتي رزقه صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه وضعه فيديو الموت من هذا الحديث لأن هذا الحديث كان what إنه سنة قولية أ الخبار والله كان اسمه واعجزه過去 عشان أنها لم تتع� لكن جل؟ أم ميت heure أسلم علات لا ن shots دائما قذا و пред إذا لم تأتكى إلى هذه الوصول، فالوصول ستأتي لك. أبو النعيم ناريت هذا في إزحيلية الأولياء والطمقات الأصفياء وشيخة الاباني أثنتكيتها وشيخ مقبل ابنهادي الواديعي أيضاً أثنتكيتها المسنجة صلى الله عليه وسلم قلتنا وحديث ناريت بأبو النعيم في إزحيلية الاباني أثنتكيتها في أبو أمامة الباهيلية رضي الله تعالى عنه أن المسنجة قال إن روح القدوسي نفثة في روحي أن جيبريل بلو into my soul and this is one of the ways that the revelation used to be done جيبريل came down and he blew the revelation into the prophet's chest عليه الصلاة والسلام and this is what he said to him أن نفس اللن تموت حتى تستكمل أجلها that a soul will not die until it finishes the destined time everybody is given a designated lifespan until he finishes his lifespan no one will die وتستوع برزقها and until he finishes his provision so you won't die until you finish your lifespan and you will also not die until you finish of the risk that was written for you then the messenger said فتقوا الله وأجملوا في الطلب then fear Allah and be conscious of him and be one who pursues gaining his risk in the correct way ولا يحملنا استبطاء الرزق أن يطلبه بمعسية الله and do not let the delaying of your risk carry you to disobey Allah the risk is going to come to you but it might delay do not let that delaying make you disobey Allah فإن الله تعالى لا ينالوا ما عنده إلا بطاعته for verily what is with Allah cannot be gained except with his obedience the risk is with Allah and you will not gain what is with Allah سبحانه وتعالى except with his obedience ألمام ابن القيم in his small book he says فتأمل حال الجنين he said look at the situation of the baby in the womb of his mother he said يأتي غذائه he said his food comes to him his meal comes to him and he's a little child a little baby blood cluster of in the stomach of his mother but it comes to him through one source that is the umbilical cord connected to him and the mother but when that child comes out of the womb and comes out into this earth and that umbilical cord is cut Allah سبحانه وتعالى opens for him two other doors and that is the two breasts of his mother and through that Allah تعالى gives him risk this is his milk and its food both of them for him and it is the most tastiest thing for the child he loves it لبنان خالصا سائغا milk that is so nice that he enjoys فإذا تمت مدة الرضاع when the time of the breastfeeding حوليني كامليني the two years is over and it finishes ونقطع الطريقان and the two breasts it comes to an end الله تبارك وتعالى فتح له Allah opens for him أربعة طرق two four paths and that is طعاماني two food وشراباني and two fluids فطعاماني the two foods that he gets is حيوان ونبات the animals and the vegetables وشراباني the two fluids are مياه ووتا والبان and the milk when that time comes to an end if he had obeyed Allah in those four and he feared Allah in those four and he made sure he followed the command إن الله in those four الله تبارك وتعالى opens for him eight doors of provision and that is هي أبواب الجنة الثمانية it is the eight doors of Jannah يدخل من أيه ما شاء he enters from whichever of those 80 wishes and that إبن القيم says نسأل الله من فضلي we ask from Allah we ask from Allah's virtue سبحانه وتعالى that he does not prevent us from entering from those eight doors the day of judgment and those eight doors is for no one is not for anyone other than those people who has obeyed Allah تبارك وتعالى in the four methods or the four ways that were provided for them and this statement of إبن القيم رحمه الله it goes hand in hand with the statement of Allah ومن يتق الله يجعله ما خرجا ويرزقه من حيث لا يحتسب anyone who fears الله تبارك وتعالى ها ومن يتق الله يجعله ما خرجا anyone who has تقوى of Allah الله will make an opening for him ويرزقه من حيث لا يحتسب and Allah will provide for you where you did not expect this child was provided from places he did not expect he didn't have no control over his risk all of that was the control of Allah سبحانه وتعالى الإمام الشعبي وعمل من الشرح بيل he said on the commentary of this ayah لقد رزقني الله Allah provided for me من حيث لا يحتسب from places I did not assume أكثر من ما رزقني من حيث لا يحتسب more than places I expected هنا سبحانه وتعالى سوف نكمل الأسئل with two examples سبحانه وتعالى هو ما سوف نكمل the first one is مريامة the mother of a son of Maryam the only woman whose son was named after her مريامة بنت عمرات the mother of a son of Maryam the only woman whose son was named after her مريامة بنت عمران the mother of a son of Maryam ذا ماذا عيسبني مريام الله توزس النقرآن إيسايس فأجاءها المخاذ إلى جدع النخلة قالت يا ليتني مت قبل هذا وكنت نسيا من سيا فنادها من تحتها أن لا تحزني قد جعل ربك تحتك سرية وهزي إليك بجدع النخلة وهزي إليك بجدع النخلة تساقط عليك رطبا جنية فكولي واشربي وقرر عينا فإما ترين من البشر أحد فقولي فقولي اني ندرت للرحمان سوما فلا أكلم اليوم إنسيا مريامة الله توزس فأجاءها المخاذ ذا time of birth هد كمتها she said it's a sign of regret يا ليتني مت قبل هذا if only I died before this day وكنت و أنا was نسيا من سيا somebody who was forgotten because she knows when she gives birth and she goes out to the community and they see her they're going to say where did you get this child from who was the father and they did say that to her so this is what she was running away from وكنت نسيا من سيا فنادها من تحتها لا تحزني الله تبارك وتعالى توزس جيبريل كولدها from beneath فنادها من تحتها ألا تحزني don't be worried o concern قد جاء على ربك تحتك سرية الله has made under you a sari sari means a river a little stream of water that runs beneath نهر ابن عباسل وهزي إليكي بجد إنخلة and also move the tree that is next to you تساقط عليك روطة بنجانية dates will come down for you to eat عبد الله ابن عباسل this tree was yabis it was a fruitless tree it didn't produce anything but the minute she touched it الله تبارك وتعالى he bought dates from it and it pulled down for her then she was told فاكولي وشربي eat and drink from this which we have this shows us that Maryamah was provided for by Allah and what it also gives us this story is that the Muslim should always work for his he should work hard because Maryamah at this point of her giving birth الله didn't say I'm just going to pull the tree for you I'm bringing all the risk from there for you or it's going to come down from the sky and it's going to be on a plate for you I have to work for it but she came with hard work which is to trust in Allah and to believe in him and to be pious also الله تبارك وتعالى he says الله يرزق من يشاء بغير حساب الله says every time that Maryamah Zechariah entered on to Maryamah every time he entered on to her he would find next to her provision and he said to her يا ماريام أنّا لكي هذا ماريام where did you get this from قالت she said هو من عند الله this is from Allah سبحانه وتعالى يرزق من يشاء بغير حساب الله provides for whoever he wills without any حساب the second is and look at Maryamah before I move on to the second the risk that she used to be given it was said that she used to get the risk of summer when it was winter and winter when it was summer this is something Allah تبارك وتعالى did فهم the second one is the story of أم اسماعيل هاجرة وذي الله تعالى عنها وارضاها أم اسماعيل who is the wife of Ibrahim عليه السلام may Allah be pleased and send salutation on him and his son اسماعيل Ibrahim brought her to the desert and he said to her I'm going to leave you and she said to him أين تذهب وتتركنا where are you going where are you going to leave us in this valley that we are in وليدي ليس في إنسون ولا شيء there is no one here there is no inhuman being there is nothing here فقالت له ذلك مرارا and she said this to him so many times and Ibrahim عليه السلام he wasn't looking at her he wasn't looking at her when she was saying this to her then she said to him did Allah تعبارك وتعالى come on do to do this قال النعم he said yes then she said a statement that deserves to be written in ink of gold she said إذا لا يضيعن الله if that is the case Allah is not going to abandon us إذا لا يضيعن الله Allah is not going to abandon us ثم رجعت then she went backwards and Ibrahim left her when Ibrahim was in the الثانية when he was in the الثانية when no one could see him حيث لا يرونه أحد no one could see him he faced towards إستقبال بوجه إلى بيت الله الحرب he faced towards the Kaaba and then he made this with his hands lifted up ربنا إني أسكنت من ذرية بواد غير ذي زرع عند بيتك المحرم ربنا ليقيم الصلاة فجعل أفيدة من الناس تهوي إليهم ورزقهم من الثمرات لعلهم يشكرون he said ربنا ميلود إني أسكنت من ذرية بواد غير ذي زرع عند بيتك المحرم ربنا ليقيم الصلاة He said I place my family in a valley there is no zarah there is no crops next to your house ربنا ليقيم الصلاة so your prayer can be established فجعل أفيدة من الناس تهوي إليهم ورزقهم من الثمرات ورضقهم من الثمرات رزق رزق، طمرات، قوات في مدينة، وفوط لعلهم يشكولوننا لكي يمكنهم تشكولكم عبد الله منعبس قلتنا ذلك أمو إسماعيل أنها رأيت 7 وقت من صفة ومروة لأنها لم يكن لديها أي شيء لها ولكن عندما أبراي مجدد دعاء الله تعالى تبارك وتعالى أنه قد قد قد قد قد قد قد قد قد قد قد قد اخت He hit His wing on the mountain of marwa وأمه قد يجد وقت وقت وقت وقت وقت امو إسماعيل وعي انها starts to do was, she starts to scoop the water ويساعد عمو إسماعيل لو تركت زم زم أو قاله لو لم تغرف من المائي لكانت زم زم عينة معينة المسجد يسأل أن الله يمثل على المدى الإسماعيل أنه إذا only she left the Zamzam water and she did not scoop it and she did not hold it down كنة زمزة معينة المعينة. The water of Zamzam would have overflowed. فشاريبت, but she drank from this water وارضعت ولدها and she didn't give it to her child. This water now became the best water on the face of this earth. الله تبارك وتعالى was controlling her affairs. And when she said إذا لا يضيعنا الله, Allah is not going to forsake us. And that she stood by this and she believed in Allah تبارك وتعالى. لو أنكم تتوكلون على الله يحق توكله. لرزقكم كما يرزق الطائر تغدو خماصا وتروح بطانا. يتركوا بسيطة بسيطة. يلعبون على الله عندما يذهبون out. But we are being put in a society today where we fully trust and believe ourselves. We only rely on the means. And we tend to forget that the results are in the hands of Allah. But what we are taught in our religion is the means is what we come with. But we rely on Allah. We know that the means can be, it can be paused by الله تبارك وتعالى. تعطيل الأسباب. The means can be brought and it may not work. And we saw that. Have we not heard of the story of نبي الله إبراهيم when he got bent? Isn't a fire what bends? They came with the means to burn him. الله تبارك وتعالى. تعطيل الأسباب. He stopped the sebab from working. You see how many people did things that if they do, they would die from it. But they did it and they didn't die from it. They threw themselves from a far building. But they didn't die. All of this shows you that the sebab is what you come with. But the final result is in the hands of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. So remember that. And also remember. فتق الله وأجمله في الطلب. فتق الله وأجمله في الطلب. فيه الله in your risk. And what you put in your body, perfect what you pursue. Correct it and make sure you pursue what is permissible for you. سبحانك الله وبحمدك. أستغفرك وأتوب إليه.
