FIRST REMINDER: Yaumul Jumuat, 6th day of Rajab. (Friday. 23rd March). Let's study and share to others. OUR SUSTENANCE IS FROM ALLAH IF INDEED WE OBEY AND FOLLOW HIS COMMANDS. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. "There is no moving creature on earth but its sustenance depends on ALLAH: HE knows the time and place of its definite abode and its temporary deposit: All is in a clear Record". Qur'an, Hud, 11: 6 This clear Qur'anic teachings destroy the basic assumptions of Population Control campaign. ALLAH says "And the earth I have spread out (like a carpet); set thereon mountains firm and immovable; and produced therein all kinds of things in due balance. And I have provided therein means of subsistence, for you and for those for whose sustenance you are not responsible." [Hijr 15:19-20]. ALLAHU AKBAR. "And ALLAH has brought you out from the wombs of your mothers while you know nothing. And HE gave you hearing, sight, and hearts that you might give thanks (to ALLAH)." (16:78). If HE were to screen HIS Favor off for just a short moment you would surely be destroyed. Should HE withhold HIS Mercy for just a blink of an eye, you would not survive. Favors of this sort bestowed upon you must entail duties on your part since the only authority that has fashioned and sustained you lies entirely in the hand of your Creator. ALLAH has endowed you with all these blessings for nothing; HE asked HIS servants for neither sustenance nor food: "...I ask not of you a provision (i.e. to give Us something: money, etc.); I provide for you. And the good end (i.e. Paradise) is for the Muttaqûn (pious and righteous persons)." (20:132). People, birds, fish, animals, insects and reptiles are all creatures, which need food, air and water. ALLAH has bestowed His sustenance on each and every creature on earth and all must work and search for their provision. Let's just obey ALLAH and HIS Messenger and offer our 5x daily Salaat well and stay away from sins especially Zina, interest based income etc and HE will do the rest for us. Please remember today is Friday. Don't forget all the etiquettes. We ask ALLAH to have mercy on us and provide us with halaal source of sustenance. Aameen.
