The second question, yes, the second question is: What are the reasons for the withholding of the response to supplication? The third question is: What is the wisdom behind the saying of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab: "Teach your children swimming, archery, and horseback riding"?

The presenter:
Now, thank you, Mufarrih. Yes.

The questioner:
And he said to the Shaykh: Do not forget me in your supplication.

The presenter:
Thank you, Mufarrih. What is the interpretation of the verse, O Shaykh?
It is We who have apportioned among them their livelihoodنَحْنُ قَسَمْنَا بَيْنَهُم مَّعِيشَتَهُمْ
[Az-Zukhruf 43:32]


The Shaykh:
Yes, Allah has decreed the sustenance of the servants; He has decreed the sustenance of the servants. They are not the ones who obtain sustenance through their own actions and efforts, but rather through the facilitation of Allah. As for movement and seeking sustenance, that is a cause; it is one of the causes, but the One who causes it is Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Yes.
