Question:
In Surat al-Dhariyat there is a verse that says:
And in the heaven is your provision and whatever you are promised.وَفِي السَّمَاءِ رِزْقُكُمْ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ
[al-Dhariyat:22] And in another surah:
so walk among its slopes and eat of His provision - and to Him is the resurrection.فَامْشُوا فِي مَنَاكِبِهَا وَكُلُوا مِنْ رِزْقِهِ وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ
[al-Mulk:15] Reconcile these two verses for me, and explain them? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
And in the heaven is your provisionوَفِي السَّمَاءِ رِزْقُكُمْ
[al-Dhariyat:22] means: from Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is the Provider
Indeed, it is Allah who is the [continual] Provider, the firm possessor of strength.إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الرَّزَّاقُ ذُو الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِينُ
[al-Dhariyat:58] He is the One who provides for His servants and decrees for them what He wills This one profits in his agriculture, in his trade, and in his work, and this one loses a lot, and this one loses a little, so He is the Decider And He is the Enabler, the Guide, and the Provider (Exalted and Majestic is He) so the provision is from Him And He is the One who sends down the rains, and through them come abundant provisions as well And in the earth, good things grow because of the rains, such as fruits, vegetables, crops, and other things, and in it are useful, permissible animals, and other things that benefit people, all of which are from the provision of Allah .
And in the earth as well, seeking provision is done through trade, buying and selling, and the other works that people do in tailoring, in trade, in carpentry, in construction, and in other things, all of these are among the means of provision, but the Provider in the sky is Allah alone Yes.

The presenter: Regarding the second verse
so walk among its slopesفَامْشُوا فِي مَنَاكِبِهَا
[al-Mulk:15]?

The Shaykh: This verse is about seeking provision.

The presenter: Seeking provision.

The Shaykh: He walks on the earth, he travels when necessity calls, he seeks provision in trade, and in other things, and so he goes out from his house to such and such, and to such and such, seeking provision in work, this one goes out to work in construction, this one goes out to work in the farm, this one goes out to work in such and such seeking provision, yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
