Guide

About these verses, and how to use them

Rizq is everything Allah provides: food, money, health, knowledge, family and faith. The Quran says every creature's provision is with Allah, that He widens and narrows it for a wisdom, and that certain acts open its doors: taqwa, asking forgiveness, gratitude and spending in His way. It also tells us to go out and seek it after the prayer.
