Al-Muqeet
The Sustainer
Prophetic Traditions
مَا مِنْ دَابَّةٍ فِي الأَرْضِ إِلاَّ عَلَى اللَّهِ رِزْقُهَا
“There is no creature on earth but that upon Allah is its provision.”
Al-Muqeet sustains every living creature—He provides nourishment, strength, and sustenance to all creation.
لَوْ أَنَّكُمْ تَتَوَكَّلُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ حَقَّ تَوَكُّلِهِ لَرَزَقَكُمْ كَمَا يَرْزُقُ الطَّيْرَ تَغْدُو خِمَاصًا وَتَرُوحُ بِطَانًا
“If you were to rely upon Allah with the reliance He deserves, He would provide for you as He provides for the birds—they go out hungry in the morning and return full in the evening.”
Al-Muqeet sustains those who trust in Him, just as He sustains the birds without them storing provisions.
