Peace be upon you and everyone!
World is going through a time when people are feeling shortages of sustenance stuff.
God has made system of sustenance through which various forms of life is nourished. Research continues on the subject. Agricultre part of the crop is used by human and rest is eaten by animals.
I humbly believe that God is the real provider for everyone. In the holy Quran He says:
And there is no creature that moves on the earth but it is for Allah to provide it with sustenance. And he knows its place of temporary settlement and permanent abode. All this is recorded in clear Book . [ Ref : chapter 11, verse 7]
Agriculturally and technologically advanced rich nations as well as poor and less educated ones, almost every nation is going through crisis of shortage of provisions. If every thing was in human hands then there should not be any crisis.
One way to look at the situation is the general message in this verse:
And Allah sets forth the parable of a township which enjoyed security and peace; its provisions come to it in plenty from every quarter; but it denied the favours of Allah, so Allah made its dwellers taste a life wrapped in hunger and fear as a consequence of what they used to do. (16:113)
Citation firstly refers to people of Mecca who were enjoying fruits of holy Abrahim's prayers. Meccans faced a terrible famine after they mistreated the holy prophet (peace and blessings be on him and all prophets) and he migrated from there. Then a great leader Sufyan went to request the prophet for prayer. Mercyiful to mankind, Prophet even did not remind him his people's behaviour and he prayed humbly and famine was over.
System of sustenane in this world is linked with spirituality and good deeds. The holy caliph of promised refomer ( w.mta.tv) explains that too much dependence on one’s property, inheritance or friends is equally dangerous as making associates with Allah. (called Shirk). According to holy Quran, Allah provides for the righteous by virtue of His attribute.Good works in this life will bring good in Hereafter. May God cover everyone in His mercy.
The most excellent part of the spiritual sustensce is worship of God, specially the Salat. As God says loudly : And enjoin Prayer (Salat) on you people and be constant therein. We ask you not for sustenance; it is We Who provide for you. And the end is for righteous. (20:133) .------Sustenance is associated with worship. Pure livelihood is also essential. Special arrangement for Salat is needed. Salat is also linked with blessings of Caliphate. (18:56-57) .
May humanity listen to God and understand the message underlying the shortages in this era.
