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.

Qur'anic verse·Referenced in Tafsir of Qur'an 11:6·Qur'an 11:6
Qur'anic

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.

Umar ibn al-Khattab رضي الله عنه·Sunan at-Tirmidhi 2344·sunnah.com/tirmidhi:2344
Sahih
