Question:
The brother Abu Salim has two questions about two noble verses. In the first verse, in the saying of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He:[Hud 11:6]
Answer:
Yes, Allah has undertaken the provision of these creatures, from humans, beasts, and others. The provision of every one of them is upon Allah; Allah facilitates their provision wherever they are. So Allah has undertaken that, Glorified and Exalted is He.[Al-'Ankabut 29:60]
The brother Abu Salim has two questions about two noble verses. In the first verse, in the saying of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He:
And there is no creature on earth but that upon Allah is its provision
وَمَا مِن دَابَّةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا عَلَى اللَّهِ رِزْقُهَاAnswer:
Yes, Allah has undertaken the provision of these creatures, from humans, beasts, and others. The provision of every one of them is upon Allah; Allah facilitates their provision wherever they are. So Allah has undertaken that, Glorified and Exalted is He.
And how many a creature carries not its [own] provision. Allah provides for it and for you. And He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
وَكَأَيِّن مِّن دَابَّةٍ لَّا تَحْمِلُ رِزْقَهَا اللَّهُ يَرْزُقُهَا وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
