And in the heaven is your provision, and that which you are promised.

[Muslimah]

Bismillah

Praise be to Allah, Suatainer and Provider of all creation, blessing and peace be upon his Messenger Mohammad Ibn Abdullah.

In many cases you observe how people are truly and deeply occupied with gates of Rizq (sustainance)instead of causes or reasons that would trigger Rizq. There is much difference. And this difference does never imply that we should sit still waiting for the sky to rain gold or silver, but rather work in the direction that would eventually generate the Rizq, which by the way is not restricted on money. But anything of which mankind benefit is Rizq, including being popular among people for instance.

Anyway, this message is to communicate an incident that is worth pondering.

This morning while coming to work, there is usually a small store that I stop by if I need to buy food before going to work. It is on my way, I just need to find parking area. In most cases, I always did find one easily. Today, I found one, drove closer to park, then got blocked by a truck, I tried to evade the truck and find another, this made me drive farther, and still could not find one. Again I had to turn into a side street to find parking area, I found one in the side street, but starting to park the car, got again blocked by something in the street. So I drove farther again and where I stopped there was another store where I actually went to and bought what I needed. Sobhan Allah, it is a matter of a Rizq designated to this store and not the other one. If you are fated for something, nothing on earth can stop receiving it and vice versa. Only if people would ponder!!
