Hud 6
6- THERE IS NOT A CREATURE THAT WALKS THE EARTH WHICH ALLAH DOES NOT PROVIDE FOR, AND HE KNOWS WHERE IT STAYS AND WHERE IT STORES, IT IS ALL WRITTEN IN A CLEAR BOOK.
Allah the Highest knows everything about His creations and is totally in charge of them. Allah the Highest made it his responsibility to provide for every creature created, and this Ayah is a statement of this commitment.
This does not mean that one need not work hard for his provisions, for we all have to, and our work is an essential part of receiving what Allah the Highest provides us with. The farmer has to plant and tend the land to grow crops, and the trader has to buy and sell to earn his living, yet they are provided for when they work, not before they work.
We should not think that we have missed a provision, or that we should have had a certain provision, for it is all written down and decided in a clear book. Allah the Highest said: “THERE IS NOT AN AFFLICTION ON EARTH OR IN YOURSELVES THAT IS NOT WRITTEN IN A BOOK BEFORE CREATING IT (THE EARTH) FOR THIS IS EASY FOR ALLAH * SO THAT YOU MAY NOT GRIEF FOR WHAT YOU MISSED, OR BE OVERJOYED WITH WHAT YOU HAVE, FOR ALLAH DOES NOT LIKE THE SHOWY AND ARROGANT”. (S: 57 A: 22-23)
For what we missed was not ours, and what we have we were given, and will not have for always.
Therefore, we should work hard and do our best to make our living, in the mean time being contented and pleased with what we have, for this is what Allah the Highest provided for us.
Allah the Highest knows also where every single creature is, where it lives, and where it stores its food, and what it requires to live and thrive. This is starting with the microorganisms, to the largest animal and plant and the most complicated creation, mankind. They all have different food, some need oxygen and others do not. Some live in the water, and others live on land. Animals breathe oxygen and let exhale carbon dioxide, and plants take in carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen. Allah the Highest knows all that, for He is their Creator.
Allah the Highest said: “AND THERE IS NOT A CREATURE WALKING ON EARTH, OR A BIRD FLYING WITH IT’S WINGS, BUT ARE NATIONS LIKE YOU, WE DID NOT LEAVE ANY THING OUT OF THE BOOK, THEN THEY BE GATHERED AND BROUGHT TO THEIR LORD”. (S: 6 A: 38)
And said: “AND HE (ALLAH) HAS THE KEYS TO ALL HIDDEN THINGS, ONLY HE KNOWS IT, AND KNOW WHAT IS IN THE LAND AND SEA, AND THERE IS NOT A TREE LEAF DROPS HE DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT, OR A GRAIN IN THE DARKNESS OF THE EARTH, AND NEITHER A WET OR DRY THING, BUT IS IN A CLEAR DECISIVE BOOK”. (S: 6 A: 59)
Allah knowledge is all embracing and is beyond our comprehension.
