SUSTENANCE & PROVISION

2:245. Who is he that will lend to Allah a goodly loan so that He may multiply it to him many times? And it is Allah that decreases or increases (your provisions), and unto Him you shall return.

3:27. You make the night to enter into the day, and You make the day to enter into the night. You bring the living out of the dead, and You bring the dead out of the living. And You give wealth and sustenance to whom You will, without limit (measure or account). 

3:169. And never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision,

6:151 (Muhammad), say, "Let me tell you about what your Lord has commanded: Do not consider anything equal to Allah; Be kind to your parents; Do not murder your children out of fear of poverty, for We give sustenance to you and to them. Do not even approach indecency either in public or in private. Take not a life which Allah has made sacred except by way of justice and law. This He has commanded you that you may understand.

7:10 And surely, We gave you authority on the earth and appointed for you therein provisions (for your life). Little thanks do you give.

10:59 Say, "Have you seen what Allah has sent down to you of provision of which you have made [some] lawful and [some] unlawful?" Say, "Has Allah permitted you [to do so], or do you invent [a lie] about Allah ?"

11:6 There is no moving creature on earth whose provision is not guaranteed by Allah. And He knows where it lives and where it is laid to rest. All is ˹written˺ in a perfect Record.

11:9 And if We give man a taste of Mercy from Us, and then withdraw it from him, verily! He is despairing, ungrateful.

17:30 Your Lord increases and determines the sustenance of whomever He wants. He is Well Aware and watches over His servants.

20:111 And (all) faces shall be humbled before (Allah), the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists. And he who carried (a burden of) wrongdoing became indeed a complete failure (on that Day).

20:131 And strain not your eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment to various groups of them (disbelievers), the splendor of the life of this world that We may test them thereby. But the provision of your Lord is better and more lasting.

20:132 Instruct your family to pray and to be steadfast in their worship. We do not ask any sustenance from you; it is We who give you sustenance. And the good end (i.e. Paradise) is for the Muttaqun.

29:62 Allah gives abundant or limited provisions to whoever He wills of His servants. Surely Allah has ˹full˺ knowledge of everything.

30:37 Have they not seen that Allah gives abundant or limited provisions to whoever He wills? Surely in this are signs for people who believe.

30:40 It is Allah Who created you, then gives you provisions, then will cause you to die, and then will bring you back to life. Can any of your associate-gods do any of this? Glorified and Exalted is He above what they associate with Him ˹in worship

34:36 Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Surely ˹it is˺ my Lord ˹Who˺ gives abundant or limited provisions to whoever He wills. But most people do not know.”

34:39 Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Surely ˹it is˺ my Lord ˹Who˺ gives abundant or limited provisions to whoever He wills of His servants. And whatever you spend in charity, He will compensate ˹you˺ for it. For He is the Best Provider.”

35:3 O’ humanity! Remember Allah’s favors upon you. Is there any creator other than Allah who provides sustenance for you from the heavens and the earth? There is no God ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. How can you then be deluded ˹from the truth˺?

36:47 When they are told to spend for the cause of Allah out of what He has provided for them for their sustenance, the disbelievers say to the believers, "Shall we feed those whom, if Allah willed, He (Himself) would have fed? You are only in a plain error."

42:12 To Him belong the keys ˹of the treasuries˺ of the heavens and the earth. He gives abundant or limited provisions to whoever He wills. Indeed, He has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things.

42:27 Had Allah given abundant provisions to ˹all˺ His servants, they would have certainly transgressed throughout the land. But He sends down whatever He wills in perfect measure. He is truly All-Aware, All-Seeing of His servants.

45:5 In the alternation of the night and the day, the sustenance which Allah has sent down from the sky to revive the barren earth, and in the changing of the direction of the winds there is evidence of the truth for the people of understanding.

50:11 As˺ a provision for ˹Our˺ servants. And with this ˹rain˺ We revive a lifeless land. Similar is the emergence ˹from the graves˺.

51:22 In the heavens there is your sustenance and that which you were promised (Paradise).

51:57 I seek not any provision from them nor do I ask that they should feed Me

56:82 Would you reject the sustenance that you receive rather than give thanks?

67:21 Who is he that can provide for you if He should withhold His provision? Nay, but they continue to be in pride, and (they) flee (from the truth).

89:16 However, when his Lord tests him by a measured amount of sustenance , he says, "My Lord has humiliated me".
