What is rizq?

Realisation that one's rizq is more than the pounds and dollars they get is when one will begin to understand this great blessing of Allah.

One's rizq not only comes in wealth, but it also comes in terms of health, ilm (knowledge) and amal (actions).

You may be making a lot of money, but if your deeni knowledge and actions are not increasing then you are becoming poor.

On the other hand, one asks for an increase an rizq and may feel despondent that they aren't earning a lot of money, if any, yet at the same time they may have been given the tawfeeq to pray their salaah and read more qur'an. So this in itself is a greater blessing from Allah.

But we need wealth to live so we ask Allah for an increase in rizq through our ilm and amal, health and wealth. Whislt having sabr (patience).

This is what has been on my mind of late.
