Irfan (Volume 2) IRFAAN 2

311-312

The human being should strive for his Inwardly Life up to every possibility so that he may stay living and frequented with the One Original Hayyu-Qayyum by the means of the Name Allah. The worries and anxiety for sustenance is a Satanic Waswasa.

The devil promises you destitution and enjoys on you lewdness (2:268)

Nonetheless, the Sustenance has been predestined in the Court of Allah Almighty. Every person, however, receives his share and predetermined sustenance at its decided time. For Sustenance, all his anticipations and ill deeds are self-devised and every person is bound to accept the decrees of his predestination which arrive even if not invited.

Sustenance (Rizk) is twofold: one is Marzook and other is Mamlook. Marzook is surely received in the phase of life. It never leaves us in any condition. However, Mamlook sustenance is that the temporary owners of which we become in advance in due to our greed and in wake of its possession prior to its fixed time and fall subject to the Accountability and Punishment of the Hereafter. Nevertheless, of this wealth some share is of his heirs (and inheritors), some of thieves and alike people, some of doctors, some of lawyers and some of the clerks of courtrooms etc. which is held by them at their times form these provisional possessors either by his will or by their force and that person cannot do anything besides seeing them in resentment. In case these greedy people had not accumulated the Mamlook Rizk that actually belonged to other people, then the afore-said rightful owners and shareholders of that Rizk must have that by earning by themselves. This belief has been expressed in the Holy Quran at many occasions and this is not a hidden reality. However, some blindfolded irreligious persons with wavering belief would consider our statement based upon the advice to sit unemployed and follow Rahbaniyat. Hence, the prime springhead and the biggest cause and means of sending the human astray and for his disorientation, avarice and discomfort, cruelty and oppression and capitalism is this Satanic trick of misleading and deceiving that the devil promises you destitution and enjoys on you lewdness (2:268) and he urges him to be over touchy for his sustenance and to be too much concerned for it. As a result thereof, in greed and avidity, he gives priority to demand for (as much) sustenance (as he can acquire) and forgets the Sustainer.

And this thinking occupies over his heart and mind so badly like a demon that he commits every kind of the unfair, illegitimate and illegal actions and in the same obsession and mania, he crosses the limits of Shariyat, customs and society. Because of the grasping of this passion and craze, brother is fighting with brother and son with father and friend with friend. States are fighting with each other and nations are at loggerheads against each other. Such blood shedding world wars are in process for the grasping over the trade markets and acquisition over oil fields that people cannot recover from aftermaths of previous war and a new more devastating and havoc playing war starts. In short this fire of avidity and grasping is burning inside the hearts and minds of the people and nations and keeps them restless and unsatisfied and has turned them away of Allah Almighty. Now let us see and ponder over the trysts and orders of Allah Almighty concerning the Sustenance and Provisions.

Allah Almighty says: and whosoever keeps his duty to Allah, Allah will appoint a way out for them. And will provide for him (a quarter) whence he has no expectation. And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, He will suffice him (65:2-3)

Allah Almighty says: I created the jinn and humankind only that they might worship Me. I seek no livelihood from them, nor do I ask that they should feed Me. Lo! Allah! He it is that gives livelihood, Lord of unbreakable might (51:56-57-58)

Allah Almighty is not needy of any helper or facilitator in the cause of Sustenance. Allah's Angels are appointed and are dutiful for provision of Sustenance and they deliver everyone's share to him.
