Islam teaches that our Rizq is already written, but through Dua, hard work, and righteous deeds, we can increase its barakah.
📖 Hadith on Rizq and Tawakkul (Trust in Allah)
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
“If you were to rely upon Allah with reliance due to Him, He would provide for you just as He provides for the birds. They go out in the morning with empty stomachs and return full.”
(Sunan At-Tirmidhi 2344)
This Hadith emphasizes Tawakkul (trust in Allah). Just as birds leave their nests daily in search of food, we must work hard, seek Halal earnings, and trust in Allah to provide for us.
