Trust in Allah
Surah: Hud (6)
There Is No Creature on Earth But Its Provision Is Upon Allah
وَمَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ رِزۡقُهَا
— هود الآية 6
Verse: "There is no creature on earth but its provision is upon Allah." (11:6) — "Upon Allah" — obligation. From the worm in the rock to the person in the city, all are provided by Allah. Lesson: anxiety about provision is doubt in Allah's explicit promise.
