Allah Provides the Sustenance }{
He it is Who spread the earth for you; and made in it paths for you,
and sent down water from the sky, and then through it We brought
forth many species of diverse plant. So eat yourself and pasture your
cattle. Surely there are many Signs in this for people of
understanding. From this very earth We created you and to the
same earth We shall cause you to return, and from it We shall bring
you forth to life again. }{
We also sent down blessed water from the heaven, wherewith We
caused gardens and harvest-grain to grow, and tall palm-trees withtheir thickly-clustered spathes; all this as sustenance for Our
servants. And thus We do bring the dead land back to life with
water. Such shall be the coming forth (of human beings from the
earth).

O people, remember Allah's favour upon you. Is there any creator,
apart from Allah, who provides you your sustenance out of the
heavens and earth? There is no god but He. Whither are you, then,
being misdirected? }{
Allah it is Who made the earth a dwelling place for you and made
the sky a canopy, Who shaped you and shaped you exceedingly well
and gave you good things as sustenance. That is Allah, your Lord;
blessed be Allah, the Lord of the Universe. }{
Ask them: 'Who provides you with sustenance out of the heavens
and the earth? Who holds mastery over your hearing and sight?
Who brings forth the living from the dead and the dead from theliving? Who governs all affairs of the universe?' They will surely say:
'Allah.' Tell them: 'Will you, then, not shun (going against reality)?
Such, then, is Allah, your true Lord. And what is there after truth but
error? How, then, are you being turned away?

When We make people have a taste of Our Mercy, they exult in it; and

straitens the sustenance of those whom He pleases? There are Signs in

Example of Qarun (Korah)….
He (the ignorant) says: “I have been granted this on account
of my knowledge.”
Do not desire what Allah has conferred more abundantly on some of
you than others. Men shall have a share according to what they have
earned, and women shall have a share according to what they have
earned. Do ask of Allah His bounty. Allah has full knowledge of

To be sure, Qarun (Korah) was one of Moses' people; then he
transgressed against them. We had bestowed on him such treasure
that their very keys would have been raised with difficulty by a
whole group of strong people. Once when his people said to him:
"Do not exult, for Allah does not love those who exult (in their
riches). Seek by means of the wealth that Allah has granted you the
Abode of the Hereafter, but forget not your share in this world and
do good as Allah has been good to you and do not strive to create
mischief in the land, for Allah loves not those who create mischief ".He replied: "All this has been given to me on account of a certain
knowledge that I have." Did he not know that Allah had destroyed
before him those who were stronger in might than he and were
more numerous in multitude? The wicked are not asked about their
acts of sin. Once Korah went forth among his people in full glitter.
Those seeking the life of this world said: "Would that we had the like
of what Korah has! He truly has a great fortune ".But thoseendowed with true knowledge said: "Woe to you. The reward of
Allah is best for those who believe and act righteously. But none
except those who are patient shall attain to this ".At last We caused
the earth to swallow him and his house. Thereafter there was no
group of people that could come to his aid against Allah; nor was he
able to come to his own aid. And those who had envied his position

Some advice …

that it is Allah Who increases the provision of those of His servants
whom He will and grants in sparing measure to those whom He will.
But for Allah's favour upon us, He could have made us to be
swallowed too. Alas, we had forgotten that the unbelievers do not
prosper".
}{
Do not keep your hand fastened to your neck nor outspread it,
altogether outspread, for you will be left sitting rebuked, destitute.
Certainly Your Lord makes plentiful the provision of whomsoever He
wills and straitens it for whomsoever He wills. He is well-aware andis fully observant of all that relates to His servants.

Seek by means of the wealth that Allah has granted you the Abode
of the Hereafter, but forget not your share in this world and do good
as Allah has been good to you and do not strive to create mischief in
the land, for Allah doesn't love those who create mischief ".

life in this world, though in the Next World I will drag them to the
torment of Hell, and that is the worst abode". }{

man from the two (main) cities? ”Is it they who distribute the Mercy
