Duas for Rizq- Sustenance
Imam Ali(as) in 'Nahjulbalagha' on SUSTENANCE:
Allah has guaranteed your livelihood and has commanded you to act. Therefore, the pursuit of that which has been guaranteed to you should not get preference over that whose performance has been enjoined upon you.
But by Allah, most certainly the position is that doubt has overtaken and certainty has been shattered and it seems as if what has been guaranteed to you is obligatory on you and what was made obligatory on you has been taken away from you. So, hasten towards (good) actions and dread the suddenness of death, because the return of age cannot be hoped for, as the return of livelihood can be hoped for. Whatever is missed from livelihood today may be hoped tomorrow with increase, but whatever is lost from the age yesterday, its return cannot be expected today.
Hope can be only for that which is to come, while about that which is passed there is only disappointment. So ";fear Allah as He ought to be feared and do not die until you are (true) Muslim."; (Qur'an , 3:102)

2. Tasbih of Fatima Zehra (sa) :- Once the Prophet's (saw) daughter Fatima Zehra (as) asked the prophet for a helper. The Prophet(saw) advised her to recite the Tasbih which is known as 'Tasbih e Zehra'. This Tasbih is usually recited after each obligatory salat. However it also has great value for solving the problems of Rizq, Sustenance, Business, Job etc. Recite the tasbih with the niyat (intention) of seeking rizq (sustenance), before leaving the house ,before commencing business and before starting work at office.

6. Dua NE'MUL Badal Lady Umme Salma was widowed in Madina and in difficulty when she requested the Holy Prophet (saws) for a Dua.

اِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلِيْهِ راجِعُون،
اَللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِى فَرَجاً وَ مَخْرَجًا وَ الرْزُقْنِىْ خَيْرَ مِنْ حَيْثُ اَحْتَسِبُ وَ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا اَحْتَسِبُ

Baqiyatussalehat- the prayers for sustenance are as follows:

1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 .
First: Mu`awiyah ibn `Ammar has reported the following: I once asked Imam al-Sadiq (`a) to teach me a supplicatory prayer for more sustenance. He therefore taught me a supplicatory prayer that I have never seen more effective than it. It is the following:

اَللَّهُمَّ ٱرْزُقْنِي مِنْ فَضْلِكَ ٱلْوَاسِعِ
allahumma irzuqni min fadlika alwasi`i
O Allah, (please) provide me out of Your all-inclusive,

ٱلْحَلاَلِ ٱلطَّيِّبِ
alhalali alttayyibi
legal, and pleasant sustenance

رِزْقاً وَاسِعاً
rizqan wasi`an
with sustenance that is expansive,

حَلاَلًا طَيِّباً
halalan tayyiban
legally gotten, pleasant,

بَلاَغاً لِلدُّنْيَا وَٱلآخِرَةِ
balaghan lilddnya wal-akhirati
covering all this-worldly and other-worldly demands,

صَبّاً صَبّاً
sabban sabban
pouring, torrential,

هَنِيئاً مَرِيئاً
hani'an mari'an
enjoyable, and wholesome,

مِنْ غَيْرِ كَدٍّ
min ghayri kaddin
without exhaustive affairs

وَلاَ مَنٍّ مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ
wa la mannin min ahadin min khalqika
and without the favor of any of Your creatures;

إِلاَّ سَعَةً مِنْ فَضْلِكَ ٱلْوَاسِعِ
illa sa`atan min fadlika alwasi`i
rather, with a favor out of Your all-inclusive favors.

فَإِنَّكَ قُلْتَ: «وَٱسْأَلُوٱ ٱللَّهَ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ.»
fa'innaka qulta was'alu allaha min fadlihi
You have said, “Ask Allah of His grace.”

فَمِنْ فَضْلِكَ أَسْأَلُ
famin fadlika as'alu
Thus, from Your grace only do I ask,

وَمِنْ عَطِيَّتِكَ أَسْأَلُ
wa min `atiyyatika as'alu
from Your gift only do I ask,

وَمِنْ يَدِكَ ٱلْمَلأَىٰ أَسْأَلُ
wa min yadika almal'a as'alu
and from Your abounding donation do I ask.


Second: Imam al-Baqir (`a) is reported to have said to Zayd al-Shahham: For sustenance, you may say the following supplicatory prayer in the obligatory prayer while you are in the position of prostration:

يَا خَيْرَ ٱلْمَسْؤُولِينَ
ya khayra almas'ulina
O best of all those whom may be besought

وَيَا خَيْرَ ٱلْمُعْطِينَ
wa ya khayra almu`tina
and O best of all those who may give,

ٱرْزُقْنِي وَٱرْزُقْ عِيَالِي مِنْ فَضْلِكَ
urzuqni warzuq `iyali min fadlika
(please) provide me and my dependants with sustenance out of Your grace,

فَإِنَّكَ ذُو ٱلْفَضْلِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
fa'innaka dhu alfadli al`azimi
for You verily the Lord of great favoring.


Third:
Abu-Basir is reported to have said: I complained to Imam al-Sadiq (`a) about poverty and asked him to teach me a supplicatory prayer for sustenance. He therefore taught me a supplicatory prayer after which I have never needed anything. Precisely, the Imam (`a) instructed me to say the following supplicatory prayer in the Night Prayer while I am in the position of prostration:

يَا خَيْرَ مَدْعُوٍّ
ya khayra mad`uwwin
O best of all those whom may be besought,

وَيَا خَيْرَ مَسْؤُولٍ
wa ya khayra mas'ulin
O best of all those whom may be begged,

وَيَا أَوْسَعَ مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ
wa ya awsa`a man a`ta
O most ample-giver of all those who may give,

وَيَا خَيْرَ مُرْتَجىًٰ
wa ya khayra murtajan
and O best of all those whom may be pleased,

ٱرْزُقْنِي وَأَوْسِعْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ رِزْقِكَ
urzuqni wa awsi` `alayya min rizqika
(please) provide me with sustenance, grant me liberal sustenance,

وَسَبِّبْ لِي رِزْقاً مِنْ قِبَلِكَ
wa sabbib li rizqan min qibalika
and cause me to receive sustenance from Your Presence,

إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
innaka `ala kulli shay'in qadirun
for You have power over all things.


Referring to the same supplicatory prayer, Shaykh al-Tusi, in his book of Misbah al-Mutahajjid, has mentioned that this supplicatory prayer may be said in the second prostration of the eighth unit of the Night Prayer.
Fourth: The Holy Prophet (s) is reported to have instructed that this prayer might be said for asking for sustenance:
يَا رَازِقَ ٱلْمُقِلِّينَ
ya raziqa almuqillina
O Sustainer of the impoverished,

وَيَا رَاحِمَ ٱلْمَسَاكِينِ
wa ya rahima almasakini
O Compassionate to the poor,

وَيَا وَلِيَّ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
wa ya waliyya almu'minina
O Patron of the believers,

وَيَا ذَا ٱلْقُوَّةِ ٱلْمَتِينِ
wa ya dha alquwwati almatini
and O Lord of power and strong,

صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ
salli `ala muhammadin wa ahli baytihi
(please) send blessings upon Muhammad and his Household,

وَٱرْزُقْنِي وَعَافِنِي
warzuqni wa `afini
provide me with sustenance, grant me wellbeing,

وَٱكْفِنِي مَا أَهَمَّنِي
wakfini ma ahammani
and save me from what has distressed me.


Fifth: Reporting this supplicatory prayer for seeking sustenance from Imam al-Sadiq (`a), Abu-Basir added that Imam al-Sadiq (`a) ascribed this prayer to Imam `Ali ibn al-Husayn (`a):

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ حُسْنَ ٱلْمَعِيشَةِ
allahumma inni as'aluka husna alma`ishati
O Allah, I beseech You for excellent livelihood;

مَعِيشَةً أَتَقَوَّىٰ بِهَا عَلَىٰ جَمِيعِ حَوَائِجِي
ma`ishatan ataqawwa biha `ala jami`i hawa'iji
such livelihood by which I can be competent enough to settle all of my needs

وَأَتَوَصَّلُ بِهَا فِي ٱلْحَيَاةِ إِلَىٰ آخِرَتِي
wa atawassalu biha fi alhayati ila akhirati
and by which I can pave my way to my otherworldly life by means of this life,

مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تُتْرِفَنِي فِيهَا فَأَطْغَىٰ
min ghayri an tutrifani fiha fa'atgha
but do not make me so luxurious that I may be inordinate

أَوْ تُقَتِّرَ بِهَا عَلَيَّ فَأَشْقَىٰ
aw tuqattira biha `alayya fa'ashqa
and do not straiten my means of life that I may be miserable.

أَوْسِعْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ حَلاَلِ رِزْقِكَ
awsi` `alayya min halali rizqika
Rather, You may grant me expansive and legally gotten sustenance

وَأَفْضِلْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ سَيْبِ فَضْلِكَ
wa afdil `alayya min saybi fadlika
and endue me kindly with the torrential favors of You,

نِعْمَةً مِنْكَ سَابِغَةً
ni`matan minka sabighatan
such pleasant graces,

وَعَطَاءً غَيْرَ مَمْنُونٍ
wa `ata'an ghayra mamnunin
and enduring gifts.

ثُمَّ لاَ تَشْغَلْنِي عَنْ شُكْرِ نِعْمَتِكَ
thumma la tashghalni `an shukri ni`matika
Then, (please) do not cause me to be distracted from thanking Your graces

بِإِكْثَارٍ مِنْهَا تُلْهِينِي بَهْجَتُهُ
Bi'iktharin minha tulhini bahjatuhu
through granting me excessive sustenance whose joy may divert me

وَتَفْتِنُنِي زَهَرَاتُ زَهْوَتِهِ
wa taftinuni zaharatu zahwatihi
and whose vainglory may lead me astray

وَلاَ بِإِقْلاَلٍ عَلَيَّ مِنْهَا
wa la bi'iqlalin `alayya minha
or through giving me very little amount of sustenance

يَقْصُرُ بِعَمَلِي كَدُّهُ
yaqsuru bi`amali kadduhu
due to which my painstaking efforts fail to meet my needs

وَيَمَْلأُ صَدْرِي هَمُّهُ
wa yamla'u sadri hammuhu
and due to which my heart is filled with grief.

أَعْطِنِي مِنْ ذٰلِكَ يَا إِلٰهِي

(Please) give me, O my God, an amount

غِنىًٰ عَنْ شِرَارِ خَلْقِكَ

wa la taj`al `alayya alddunya sijnan
Do not cause this world to be like prison for me

وَلاَ فِرَاقَهَا عَلَيَّ حُزْناً
wa la firaqaha `alayya huznan
and do not cause my departure from it to be grief for me.

أَخْرِجْنِي مِنْ فِتْنَتِهَا مَرْضِيّاً عَنِّي

b.Dua taught to Maaz Maaz complained to the Prophet (s.a.w.s.) when he was under a debt. He (the Prophet) said: Do you want that Allah should liquidate your debts? He said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.). He (the Prophet) said:
قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ مَالِكَ الْمُلْكِ تُؤْتِيْ الْمُلْكَ مَنْ تَشَآءُ وَتَنْزِعُ الْمُلْكَ مِمَّن تَشَآءُ وَ تُعِزُّ مَن تَشَآءُ وَ تُذِلُّ مَنْ تَشَآءُ بِيَدِكَ الْخَيْرُ إِنَّكَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ. تُولِجُ اللَّيْلَ فِيْ الْنَّهَارِ وَ تُوْلِجُ النَّهَارَ فِيْ اللَّيْلِ وَ تُخْرِجُ الْحَيَّ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ وَ تُخْرِجُ الْمَيَّتَ مِنَ الْحَيِّ وَ تَرْزُقُ مَنْ تَشَآءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ. رَحْمٰنَ الدُّنْيَا وَ اْلآخِرَةِ وَ رَحِيْمَهُمَا تُعْطِىْ مِنْهُمَا مَا تَشَآءُ وَ تَمْنَعُ مِنْهُمَا مَا تَشَآءُ إِقْضِی عَنِّیْ دَيْنِيْ.
Qulillaahumma maalikal mulki tu-til mulka man tashaa-u wa tanziu’l mulka mimman tashaa-u wa tu-i’zzu man tashaa-u wa tudhillu man tashaa-u biyadikal khairu innaka a’laa kulli shai-in qadeer. Toolijul Laila finnahaari wa toolijun nahaara fil laili wa tukhrijul h’ayya minal mayyiti wa tukhrijul mayyita minal h’ayy. Wa tarzuqu man tashaa-u bighairi h’isaab. Rah’maanad dunyaa wal aakhirati wa rah’eemahumaa tu’t’ee minhumaa maa tashaa-u wa tamnau’ minhumaa maa tashaa-u iqz”ee a’nnee dainee.
Say: O Allah, Master of the Kingdom! Thou givest the kingdom to whomsoever Thou pleasest and takest away the kingdom from whomsoever Thou pleasest, and Thou exaltest whom Thou pleasest and abasest whom Thou pleasest; in Thine hand is the good; surely, Thou hast power over all things. Thou makest the night to pass into the day and Thou makest the day to pass into the night, and Thou bringest forth the living from the dead and Thou bringest forth the dead from the living, and Thou givest sustenance to whom Thou pleasest without measure. The Beneficent of the world and the hereafter and their Merciful, You bestow from the two what You like and prevent from the two what You like, repay for me my debt.
Then even if your debts equal the whole world full of gold, Allah would cause it to be liquidated.

So teach me a supplication to pray to Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, by it so that He gives me to repay my debts and maintain my family. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) said: O Abdullah, perform the ritual ablution perfectly and pray 2 rakats of prayer and complete the bowings and prostrations, then say:
يَا مَاجِدُ يَا وَاحِدُ يَا كَرِيْمُ اَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَيْكَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيِّكَ نَبِیِّ الرَّحْمَةِ صَلَّی اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يَا مُحَمَّدُ يَا رَسُوْلَ اللهِ إِنِّيْ اَتَوَجَّهُ بِكَ إلَی اللهِ رَبِّىْ وَ رَبِّكَ وَ رَبِّ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَ اَسْاَلُكَ اَللَّهُمَّ اَنْ تُصَلِّىَ عَلٰی مُحَمَّدٍ وَّ اَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ اَسْاَلُكَ نَفْحَةً كَرِيْمَةً مِنْ نَفَحَاتِكَ وَ فَتْحًا يَسِيْراً وَ رِزْقًا وَاسِعًا اَلُمُّ بِهِ شَعَثِىْ وَ اَقْضِىْ بِهِ دَيْنِيْ وَ اَسْتَعِيْنُ بِهِ عَلٰی عِيَالِىْ.

ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): وقَدَّرَ الأرزاقَ فَكَثَّرَها وقَلَّلَها ، وقَسَّمَها على الضِّيقِ والسَّعَةِ ، فَعَـدَلَ فيها لِيَبتَلِيَ مَن أرادَ ، بِمَيسورِها ومَعسورِها ، ولِيَختَبِرَ بذلكَ الشُّكرَ والصَّبرَ مِن غَنِيِّها وفَقيرِها.
Imam Ali (AS) said, 'He apportions sustenance, abundantly and sparingly, and He distributes them to those in need as well as to those who prosper, and He is Just in His allotment in order that he may test whomever He wishes with prosperity or with hardship, and that He may test therewith the gratefulness and perseverance expressed by both rich and poor.’[Nahj al-Balagha, Sermon 91]
ـ رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): لا تَتَشاغَلْ عمّا فُرِضَ علَيكَ بِما قد ضُمِنَ لَكَ فإنّهُ لَيسَ بفائتِكَ ما قد قُسِّمَ لَكَ ، ولَستَ بِلاحِقٍ ما قد زُوِيَ عنكَ.
The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'Do not preoccupy yourself away from the duties incumbent upon you in your bid to secure that which is guaranteed to you, for indeed neither will you miss out on that which has been apportioned for you, nor will you attain that which has been placed beyond your reach.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 77, p. 187, no. 10]
ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): اُطلُبُوا الرِّزقَ فإنّهُ مَضمونٌ لِطالِـبِهِ .
Imam Ali (AS) said, 'Go out and seek your livelihood for it is guaranteed to the one who goes in search of it.’
[al-Irshad, v. 1, p. 303]
ـ الإمامُ العسكريُّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): لا يَشغَلْكَ رِزقٌ مَضمونٌ عن عَمَلٍ مَفروضٍ.

[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 78, p. 374, no. 22]
ـ رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): إنّ الرِّزقَ لا يَجُرُّهُ حِرصُ حَريصٍ ولا يَصرِفُهُ كَراهِيَةُ كارِهٍ.

ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): اِعلَمُوا أنَّ عَبدا وإن ضَعُفَتْ حِيلَتُهُ ، ووَهَنَتْ مَكِيدَتُهُ أنَّهُ لَن يُنقَصَ مِمّا قَدَّرَ اللّه‏ُ لَهُ ، وإن قَوِيَ عَبدٌ في شِدَّةِ الحِيلَةِ وقُوَّةِ المَكِيدَة أ نّهُ لن يُزادَ عَلى ما قَدَّرَ اللّه‏ُ لَهُ.
Imam Ali (AS) said, 'Know that even if a servant was devoid of shrewdness and was feeble in his schemes, it would not reduce the amount of sustenance that Allah has apportioned for him, and even if a servant were to be skilfully shrewd and crafty, it would not do anything to increase the sustenance that Allah has apportioned for him.’[Amali al-Mufid, p. 207, no. 39]
ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنّ اللّه‏َ تعالى وَسَّعَ أرزاقَ الحَمقى لِيَعتَبِرَ العُقَلاءُ ويَعلَمُوا أنّ الدنيا ليسَ يُنالُ ما فيها بِعَمَلٍ ولا حِيلَةٍ.
Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'Verily Allah, most High, has abundantly distributed sustenance even to the idiots, so that intelligent men may take a lesson from this and know that the wealth of this world cannot be obtained by work or cunning.’
[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 103, p. 34, no. 63]
ـ رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): ألا وإنّ الرُّوحَ الأمينَ نَفَثَ في رُوعِي أ نّهُ لَن تَمُوتَ نفسٌ حتّى تَستَكمِلَ رِزقَها ، فاتَّقُوا اللّه‏َ وأجمِلُوا في الطَّلَبِ ، ولا يَحمِلْ أحَدَكُم استِبطاءُ شَيءٍ مِنَ الرِّزقِ أن يَطلُبَهُ بغَيرِ حِلِّهِ ، فإنّهُ لا يُدرَكُ ما عِندَ اللّه‏ِ إلّا بطاعَتِهِ.
The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'Verily the archangel Gabriel blew into my mind that no soul shall pass away before the depletion of his sustenance in this world, so be wary of your duty to Allah and seek your livelihood through decent means, and let not a delay in your provision cause any of you to seek it through unlawful means, for verily what is with Allah is only acquired through His obedience.’
[al-Kafi, v. 2, p. 74, no. 2]
ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): خُذْ مِن الدنيا ما أتاكَ وتَوَلَّ عمّا تَوَلّى عنك ، فإن أنتَ لَم تَفعَلْ فَأجمِلْ في الطَّلَبِ.
Imam Ali (AS) said, 'Take from [the wealth of] this world that which comes to you, and avoid that which evades you, and if you cannot do this, then at least seek your livelihood through decent means.’
[Nahj al-Balagha, Saying 393]
ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): لِيَكُن طَلَبُكَ المَعيشَةَ فَوقَ كَسبِ المُضَيِّعِ ، دُونَ طَلَبِ الحَريصِ الراضِي بالدنيا المُطمَئنِّ إلَيها ، ولكنْ أنزِلْ نفسَكَ مِن ذلكَ بمَنزِلَةِ المُنصِفِ المُتَعَفِّفِ تَرفَعُ نفسَكَ عن مَنزِلَةِ الواهِي الضَّعيفِ وتَكتَسِبُ ما لابُدَّ للمُؤمنِ مِنهُ.
Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'Your quest to secure your means of subsistence should be such that it is neither like the earning of a wasteful squanderer, nor like the greedy man who loves and depends on this world. Rather, you must raise yourself from the level of weakness and incapacity, and bring yourself down [from the level of greed] to the level of an equitable and virtuous man, and seek your earning the way a believer should.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 103, p. 33, no. 63]
ـ رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): لَو أنَّ ابنَ آدَمَ فَرَّ مِن رِزقِهِ كما يَفِرُّ مِنَ المَوتِ لَأدرَكَهُ كما يُدرِكُهُ المَوتُ.
The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'If man was to flee from his sustenance as he flees from death, it would find him just as death finds him.’

[Ghurar al-Hikam, no. 1408]
ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنَّ الرِّزقَ رِزقانِ: رِزقٌ تَطلُبُهُ ، ورِزقٌ يَطلُبُكَ ، فإن أنتَ لَم تَأتِهِ أتاكَ .
Imam Ali (AS) said, 'There are two types of sustenance: the sustenance that you seek out, and the sustenance that seeks you out, which even if you do not pursue it, it pursues you.’
[Nahj al-Balagha, Letter 31]
ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنّ اللّه‏َ عزّوجلّ جَعَلَ أرزاقَ المؤمنينَ مِن حيثُ لا يَحتَسِبُونَ ، وذلكَ أنَّ العَبدَ إذا لَم يَعرِفْ وَجهَ رِزقِهِ كَثُرَ دُعاؤهُ .
Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'Verily Allah, Mighty and Exalted, has placed the believers' livelihoods whence they do not anticipate it to come, and that is because when the servant does not know the location of his livelihood, his supplication for it increases.
[ Nur al-Thaqalayn, v. 5, p. 354, no. 34]
ـ رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): لا تَهتَمَّ لِرِزقِ غَدٍ فإنّ كُلَّ غَدٍ يَأتِي بِرِزقِهِ.

The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'He who is impatient with regards to his sustenance must increase his proclamation of Allah's greatness [takbir or proclaiming allahu akbar: Allah is the greatest (ed.)], and he who worries and frets much [about his livelihood] must increase his seeking of forgiveness.’

1. Chapter al-Ā‘rāf - 7:96: ) (“And if the people of the towns were to believe and observe piety, surely we would have opened to them the blessings of the heaven and the earth…”



2. Chapter al-Talāq - 65:2-3: )
وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللٌّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجًا. وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لاَ يَحْتَسِبُ
(“And whosoever is God-wary (observes piety) He would make for him a way out [from difficulties] and Bestow on him sustenance from whence he expects not…”



3. Chapter Nūh - 71:10-12:)

( “Then I said: seek forgiveness from your Lord, [for] indeed He is the Most-forgiving; He would send down abundance of rain upon you; and aid you with wealth and sons; and make for you gardens and make for you rivers.”


These verses inform the human being about the best path of ensuring sustenance and avoiding the calamity of hunger. If the culture of taqwā and istighfār (in its various manifestations and dimensions] were to prevail, hunger would no more be a predicament save in cases of Divine trial.) (“And We would certainly try You with somewhat of fear and hunger…”[27] We also have many traditions that guide the hungry and the destitute, as well those who would like to disseminate the culture of independence, about the ways of achieving sustenance.

إِنَّ الْبِرَّ يَزِيدُ فِي الرِّزْقِ.

3. The Holy Prophet (s) is reported to have said[30]:

Causes that Hamper Sustenance 

The esteemed author of> Mir’ātu’l Kamāl, the late Āyatullāh al-Shaykh Māmaqānī has filled six pages full of reasons that cause poverty and hamper one’s sustenance. References have also come in the gloss of a later edition of this three-volume opus of devotions. Those interested can look at pages 569-583. Here, however, we would like to suffice ourselves with mentioning only a few of them:
Expression of greed, sleeping between maghrib and ‘ishā prayers‘, sleeping between fajr and sunrise, severing relationship with near relatives, sleeping naked for long durations, cursing one’s children, eating in the state of lying down, abandoning prayers for one’s parents, backbiting,(over eating, extravagance, etc.), seeking the faults of people, eating while walking, urination and sexual intercourse while facing qibla, urinating on water, laughing excessively especially near graves and gatherings of the learned, not lending money to one who is need, expression of poverty to one who possesses wealth, and excessive sleep.
Āyatullāh Māmqānī mentions about 175 causes in his manual.  Therefore, it is essential for us to propagate the culture of taqwā in those poor societies, which can absorb the teachings of Allah(swt). Taqwā in every dimension of life enables one to experience happiness in this world as well as the Hereafter.
