 I ask all of you in this room how many of you adore of Rizq opened which you did not expect whatsoever you bump into someone one day or randomly you're talking to someone it turns out to be a business partner and the end of your life or you decide to go to a place which you weren't intending to and the doors of Rizq opened likewise with us when we're asking for an increase in Rizq sometimes the temptation is there that you know what if I get a job it doesn't matter you know if I have alcohol at the end of the day my intention is pure I'm looking after my family doesn't matter if I go on a night out clubbing with the CEO it doesn't matter you know at the end of the day we have to sign this contract this is a big contract who cares about the laws listen there's only one razaq and it's Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala whatever Allah has written for you that Rizq will reach you at the end therefore on this supplication what happened the person came to Imam al-sadaq he said to him oh Imam and you know the first words of this supplication after salat al-ashaa all of them are the words of the person's question to Imam al-sadaq normally ahlul bayt don't begin a dua with the words of the questioner normally ahlul bayt begin the dua with their words to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala this dua after salat al-ashaa begins with what this dua begins with a wonderful line it begins with the lines of the person the person came to Imam al-sadaq and he said to him I don't know where my rizq lies but I ask for it from the very depths of my heart isn't that the way you talk to Allah as in when you're pleading for rizq or pleading for a change in your life what do you say you turn around to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala you say ya Allah I don't know where my rizq lies that's the question all of us will ask on a night like this where's my rizq where does it lie and I ask you ya Allah from the depths of my heart looking for that rizq how many of us have moved from one place to another just to try and find our rizq you go from Leicester to London you go from Leicester to America you go from Leicester to the Middle East you can travel from this place in that place here the person is saying I am that lost wanderer who doesn't know where his rizq lies he said I don't know where it lies is it in the earth is it in the sky is it in the mountain or is it in the sea someone says what do you mean you can have rizq in the mountain you can have rizq in the sea ask the diver who's gone for stones at the bottom of the sea they'll show you the most beautiful stones and how they earn their rizq ask the one who gets honey from the hives in the mountains their rizq is in the mountain I don't know my rizq in the sky someone says how could you have a rizq in the sky ask a pilot where's his rizq most of his life he'll tell you it's on the sky can I have rizq in the land yes of course ask a farmer who irrigates the land he'll tell you that my rizq is in the land I don't know in whose hands you have placed my rizq and through who I'm going to obtain my rizq I ask all of you in this room how many of you a door of rizq opened which you did not expect whatsoever you bump into someone one day or randomly you're talking to someone it turns out to be a business partner and the end of your life or you decide to go to a place which you weren't intending to and the doors of rizq opened this person imam begins the dua by saying that's when you want to ask Allah for rizq make it clear humble yourself I don't know where my rizq lies I'm asking you from the depths of my heart to help me with my rizq I don't know if it's in the mountain ya Allah if it's in the sea if it's in the land if it's in the skies I don't know in whose hands it lies yes I don't know through which ways it's going to reach me but there's one thing I know and one thing I know is the knowledge of my rizq is with you Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala yes and the different ways it reaches me is in your control yes this is the most wonderful lines because when a muslim when a human admits that Allah has in charge of his rizq and that Allah in one second can make fara'un fall and can make the most humble become musa that person straight away in that humility you'll find Allah will open the door ya Allah the way you proportion your rizq is always graceful wallah it's graceful believe you me there is not an animal on this earth but that Allah has sustained its rizq yes how many of you been snorkeling or scuba diving you go to the bottom of that sea you see those colors have you ever thought who looks after the rizq of that fish at the bottom of the sea when the Quran said there's not an animal on this earth but that Allah has looked after the rizq of that animal you will not find an animal in the sea but that Allah has not just given it rizq the proportion of the rizq is so graceful you need a bit of green here but you need a tad of red here fluorescent yellow here fluorescent blue over here no other designer can design rizq like Allah anyone else let them design they'll try they'll mess it up come to the sea and see the rizq of Allah on his creation there's not a creation because nebi sulayman one day you know nebi sulayman the Quran can speak to the ant there's a whole surah about sulayman's conversation with the ant he sees the ant leave its hands crawls goes in the mouth of a frog frog opens its mouth swims to the bottom of the lake comes back up opens its mouth the ant comes back out sulayman picks up the ant says i want to ask you something he said yes because you know he could converse with the animal kingdom and the jinn and so on so i want to ask you something what just took place there the frog replies to sulayman within the traditions the ant replies to sulayman within the traditions that i take a crumb of food every morning i walk towards that frog the frog opens its mouth i go into a position in the mouth of the frog where i don't die but there's enough for me to survive the frog swims to the bottom of the lake there's a rock at the bottom of the lake under that rock there's a little worm Allah has chosen me and the frog to look after the rizq of that worm you found here what was wonderful that even at the bottom of the sea there is the gracefulness of the rizq of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that there isn't a creature and that's what imam al-saraq wants to straight away imam al-saraq says just before you're gonna ask for everything never ask a dua without salawat at the beginning of that dua yes that's a secret there are many who ask me why is my dua not accepted i said do you say salawat before say no the prophet said whoever says a dua without salawat there's a hijab on that dua the moment you say salawat the hijab is removed between you and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala let's have a second lauda salawat if you don't mind a third with your loudest voices
