The Shaykh mentioned some of the legitimate means for obtaining sustenance.

The Shaykh : The other story aligns with this one in that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) subdues the heavens and the earth for the pious and the righteous. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said, and the hadith is in "Sahih Muslim": Here is the point: the matter of the righteous, the pious, the humble ones who do not act haughtily toward the Lord of the Worlds. He says: . The hadith ends here.
Now, these two stories explain . This is the general answer: we must not handle our worldly affairs with the scales of shirk (associating partners with Allah) and disbelief, like those who do not believe in spiritual or metaphysical causes, as they say in this age. The disbelievers, as you know, see everything as material, and there is nothing beyond matter. As for the Muslims, although they believe in the Sunnah of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), by which He raised the Muslims, and He told them, for example: , in addition to that, He expanded the circle of causes for them through a non-material path, which is, in other words, through obeying Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and worshipping Him with everything He commanded. Thus, this obedience becomes one of the causes that expands a person's sustenance beyond what he seeks through material causes. Two authentic hadiths come to mind on this occasion. One of them is what the two Shaykhs (al-Bukhari and Muslim) narrated in their "Sahih"s from the hadith of Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . Today, Muslims, let alone disbelievers, most of them do not know that maintaining family ties is one of the causes for expansion in sustenance and one of the causes for lengthening life. All they are aware of is that there are material causes... And there is no doubt that the Europeans have achieved a brilliant success in discovering these causes and organizing them, to the point that you read in newspapers and scientific magazines that, for example, in a certain region or a certain country, within a few years, they were able to reduce deaths due to a certain cause, or the death of children due to a certain cause, and so on. Why? Because they took hold of the causes that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) legislated—cosmic, natural causes—but they are ignorant, and many Muslims share in this ignorance, in that they think that lifespan is cut off, and this is true, but they think that the cut-off lifespan has no causes. They also think that happiness and misery are cut off, and this is also true, but they think and imagine, likewise, that happiness and misery have no legitimate causes. This is one of the illusions that have spread among Muslims. So, I never distinguish between sustenance and happiness and misery. You know from the authentic hadiths that when the fetus reaches four months, Allah (Mighty and Majestic) commands the angel assigned to it to breathe the soul into it, and to write whether it will be happy or miserable, its sustenance, its lifespan—all of this is written while it is a fetus in its mother's womb. As the scholar Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) says: "This is not the first writing." This was written in the Preserved Tablet long ago, but this is a confirmation and affirmation of the previous writing. So, whether we speak of the previous writing or this subsequent writing, did the Lord of the Worlds (Mighty and Majestic) impose happiness on a person by force, and likewise misery, likewise sustenance, likewise lifespan? The answer is no. Everything is by cause. Everything with Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is by cause. Therefore, He said (Exalted is He) in the Noble Qur'an: . All that is the case is that Allah (Mighty and Majestic), who said in truth: , has known what every person obligated to obey, whether jinn or human, will turn toward in response to the call of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) or in opposition and contradiction to it. So He wrote, based on His prior knowledge, that he who will strive for good, He will make the path of good easy for him, and He wrote him as happy. And the opposite is the opposite: He who He knows will strive for disbelief, open sinfulness, and evil, He wrote him as miserable. The same is the case regarding length of life and sustenance. Everything has a cause. But I wanted to draw attention to the fact that there are legitimate causes, which are additional to the cosmic causes. And we, Muslims, must know our religion and worship our Lord with the causes by which we are commanded to worship, whether they are cosmic or legitimate. In my opinion, those questions that came did not take into account any of this explanation and detail. And in my opinion, in my opinion, this answer that I described as being general, and it is indeed general, even though it contains detail that corresponds to the generality I claimed. But I want now to discuss the individual words of your questions to apply this sound legitimate methodology to them. So, bring the first question. What was it?
