If a person (finds that even after trying he) is not blessed with rizq in one country (land, town, city, region),

then let him move to another.

[Ibn Abdul Barr (rahimahullah), Bahjat al-Majaalis, 133]

Shaykh 'Abdur Razzaq al-Badr (hafidhahullah) stated:

‎Whoever does not have patience, he will not be able to resist fitnah and disobedience (of Allah).

[Sharh Jawaami' al-Ad'iyah an-Nabawiyyah, 9]

Whoever fears Allāh, people will love him even if they hate to.

[Mālik ibn Anas (radiyAllahu ‘anh) reported from Zayd ibn Aslam (radiyAllahu ‘anh), Abu Nuaym al-Isfahani (rahimahullah), Hilyatul-Awliyaa’, 3/222]

Take Care of Your Needs Before Salah

It is hated/disliked (makrooh) to pray when

• one needs to relieve himself (use the bathroom),

• he is disturbed by the weather (intense heat),

• or is hungry.

[Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan (hafidhahullah), al-Mukhlas al-Fiqhi, 1/2.7]

Ibn Qayyim (rahimahullah) said:

The sins continuously remove the blessings one after another until it has plundered all of the blessings.

When Your Trust in Allah is Sincere

Whoever is truthful and sincere in his reliance upon Allah to achieve or obtain something, he will (certainly) obtain it (and better than it, and it will be made easy for him).

[Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah), Madaarij as-Salikeen, 2/114]

Imam Malik (rahimahullah) said:

A liar will never succeed and he will never bring about any good!

[Tarikh Baghdad, 8/372]

‎Just as being conscious of Allah brings provision, being unmindful of Allah brings poverty. There is nothing certain to deserve the provision of Allah than keeping away from sinful acts (and doing that which removes sins: istighfar, good deeds).

‎[The Disease and The Cure, pg. 81, Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah)]

The Prophet Muhammad (ṣall Allahu ʿalayhi wa-’ālihi wa-sallam) said:

If a man abuses and shames you for something which he finds in you, then do not shame him for something which you find in him; he will bear the evil consequences for it.

[Abu Dawud 4084, Sahih]

{قُل لِّعِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَيُنفِقُوا مِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ سِرًّا وَعَلَانِيَةً مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَ يَوْمٌ لَّا بَيْعٌ فِيهِ وَلَا خِلَالٌ}

Say (O Muhammad) to My worshippers who have believed,

that they should perform as-Salat, and spend (in charity) out of the sustenance We have given them, secretly and openly,

before the coming of a Day on which there will be neither mutual bargaining nor befriending.

[Surah Ibrahim, 14:31]

One of the consequences of sins on a person is that their affairs become complicated/difficult—whenever they try to pursue something, they find the path blocked (closed off, prevented from or preventing them from moving forward) or difficult (unusually hard to reach, seek, attain, or complete).

[Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah), The Disease and The Cure, 134]

The Prophet (ṣall Allahu ʿalayhi wa-’ālihi wa-sallam) said,

Every consequence of sin is delayed by Allah, as He wills, until the Day of Resurrection, except for

• injustice,
• disobedience to parents, or
• severing family ties.

He will hasten the punishment of those who commit them in this world before he dies.

[al-Adab al-Mufrad, 588, Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to al-Albani (rahimahullah)]

Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullāh) said:

Disobeying the desires (in the strong moment when a slave experiences it) puts a servant in (a unique) position/state that in which if he makes an oath by Allah in supplication (to receive anything) Allah will fulfil it. So He executes (the du’a) for him many folds more than the desires that he abandoned (for His sake).

[Rawdat al-Muhibbeen, Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah), 1/484]

The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) that,

Jibreel (peace be upon him) said to him: ‘Give your ummah the glad tidings that whoever dies not associating anything (partners in worship or supplication) with Allah will enter Paradise.’

I said: ‘O Jibreel, even if he steals and commits zina?’

He said: ‘Yes.’

I said: ‘Even if he steals and commits zina?’

He said: ‘Yes.’

I said: ‘Even if he steals and commits zina?’

He said: ‘Yes, and even if he drinks alcohol.’

Samurah ibn Jundub (RaḍiyAllāhu ‘anhu) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said:

Do not invoke the curse of Allah upon one another, or the wrath of Allah, or Hell (on one another).

There is nothing left from the delectable pleasures/enjoyments (لذة) (found in the life) of this world except (in) fulfilling (the) needs of the brothers/companions.

قُل لَّوْ أَنتُمْ تَمْلِكُونَ خَزَائِنَ رَحْمَةِ رَبِّي إِذًا لَّأَمْسَكْتُمْ خَشْيَةَ الْإِنفَاقِ وَكَانَ الْإِنسَانُ قَتُورًا

Say, "If you possessed the treasure of the Mercy of my Lord (wealth, money, provision, etc.), then you would surely hold back (from spending) for fear of (being exhausted),

and man is ever miserly!"

[Suratul Israa’, 17:100]

The Prophet (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

Nothing turns back the Decree except supplication, and nothing increases the life-span except righteousness.
