Allah, the Creator of all living beings, provides for each and every living being’s needs.
Trees that have lived in the Amazon for hundreds of years, a herd of
penguins living on a remote glacier-surrounded island, a 30-year-old
cactus in the desert, ants feeding on the mushrooms they grow on a
garden of rainforest leaves, and an army of living beings that have
existed for millions of years… All living beings need nourishment. Some
desperately need water, whereas some others can survive without water
for years. Some like hot weather, while others cannot survive in such a
climate even for a minute. Furthermore, for all these living beings to
remain together on this planet, many conditions have to exist at the
same time. Allah, the Almighty, provides for them all.
Allah manifests His infinite compassion and mercy by meeting the needs
of all that exists and allocating His mercy among all living beings.
Allah created various blessings for our survival and provides for all of
our needs. Indeed, Allah calls attention to this important fact:
Is it they who would portion out the Mercy of your Lord? It is We Who
portion out between them their livelihood in this world, and We raised some of
them above others in ranks, so that some may employ others in their work. But
the Mercy (Paradise) of your Lord (O Muhammad SAW) is better than the
(wealth of this world) which they amass.
(Qur'an 43:32)
(Qur'an 43:32)
He has given you everything you have asked Him for. If you tried to
number Allah’s blessings, you could never count them. Man is indeed
wrongdoing, ungrateful.
(Surah Ibrahim, 14:34)
