Verse: "Whoever fears Allah — He will make a way out for them, and provide for them from where they do not expect." (65:2-3) — "A way out" from every hardship — crisis, grief, divorce, constrained provision. "From where not expected" = from sources never imagined. The link is explicit: taqwa is the condition; provision and a way out are the result. Not a conditional promise bound to time or place — absolute like taqwa itself. Lesson: many search for provision only through material means — this verse opens another door: God-consciousness.
