Of such the Kaamil Maalik-ul-Mulki Faqeers is the right over the entire world and from wherever and whatsoever thing is presented to their service by reason or without a reason as gift or present, it is Halaal for them. This is because that by virtue of their Auspiciousness (and blessing) on earth, rain shower from sky and earth is thrived. By the virtue of their auspicious presence on earth, the Visible and Invisible blights, disasters, adversities and accidents are warded off and dispelled. Hence, their share and right is in everybody's income as some Saalik has said:

Whosever's morsel it is, it turns into Noor due to his Jalaal ,

Whatever he deems fit, he eats and it is Halaal (allowed) for him,

The Arif Faqeer is the Maalik-ul-Mulki ,

He has right over entire world as a sovereign Emir .

On the other hand, they are not needy of the resources and vocation in any way because they see the practical aspect of Allah's Caliber of Sustaining (and Providing) through their Inwardly Eyes that the Angels have been deputed to provide Sustenance to every person. The curtains of resources and matter are lifted from their eyes and they see the Hand of Ability of the Able naked and explicit that it is the Hand of Ability of Allah Almighty that is distributing Sustenance of every kind whereas the sleeve of resources (to accomplish) is just an way out and a temporary thing. Secondly, they exercise their God Gifted Tasarruf on everything through their Inwardly Power. They turn soil into gold through their touch. If they demand fruit from a dead plant, it turn green instantaneously and gives fruit no matter it is its season or not. In short, the mother of resources of the world stands before them humbly waiting their order. These people are not needy of anybody besides Allah Almighty. For such persons, Maulana Room Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe says:

Yes, Tawakul is the hand and feet of every effort the special ones,

If you are the real Aashiq , you will get the Sustenance !

[Jalal ud Din Rumi]

Those, who exhibit such a kind of Tawakul and are the Masters of Haal of same, their hearts are full of the Spiritual Blessings and Tastes.

And they feel pleasure in worldly narrowness and hunger and thirst and feel pride in Faqar as the Holy Prophet of Allah Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam has said 'Faqar is my pride'. These Abyaat of Ibne Yameen Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe tell the state of his Haal:

ABYAAT (COUPLETS)

Simple bread of barely, saline water and simple dress and mat of jute are sufficient for Dervish and Faqeer ,

Thirty Paras and Ahadees of Holy Prophet Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam are enough for their study,

Two or four beneficial books for the acquisition of Ilm of Deen are desired, not the futile books of Boo Ali Sina and Ansari,

And a dark cottage, which is needless of even the light of sun, is sufficient to live in,

For companionship, one or two Mardaan e Khuda with magnanimous courage who give no worth to the domains of Nimruz and Sinjar,

He is blessed who has such condition as on his condition,

The demanders of the throne of Qaisar (Kaiser) and the searchers of the land of Alexander envy at

In the hearts of some people, Satan has sown strange bad surmises and suspicions regarding the Doctrine of Faith. They believe that the deviation of the Europeans from the Doctrine of Faith, religion, the Belief of Allah Almighty and their Materialism (and freethinking) has caused them prosperity and affluence and the Conviction and belief of the people of East concerning religion, religiosity and God have made them poor, dominated and destitute. Reality is this that not irreligiousness, freethinking and immorality can case individuals or a nation well off and advanced nor can Allah's belief, His commemoration, His obedience and tremendous nature of a person cause him to become poor and indigent. However, welfare of the world and the Hereafter and exhilaration there has always been related and tied with the religiosity, the best conduct (and ethics) and the nice virtues. Every that individual or a nation that you see advanced and on a good position in the world, he or that nation must have taken start with any of these things like straightness, honesty, kindness, unity, the best conduct (and ethics) and through good habits and qualities. These things are such by virtue of these they earn the comfort, ease, glory and height of the world as Nemul Badal although they are not entitled to the wealth of the Hereafter because of Kufr and Shirk! The said practice makes them rich and prosperous in world.
