Rizq aur is ki Duain

Overview:

“Rizq aur Us Ki Duain” (Sustenance and Its Supplications) is a remarkable work by Professor Dr. Fazl Ilahi, published by Dar Al-Noor. This book explores the true concept of rizq (sustenance), its vastness, and the means of attaining its blessings, all of which are dependent on the pleasure and mercy of Allah. The book firmly establishes the fundamental belief that Allah alone is the Owner of all treasures of the universe, He is the sole Provider, and sustenance is given solely by His divine will.

As stated in the Qur’an:

"إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الرَّزَّاقُ ذُو الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِينُ"

(Surah Adh-Dhariyat: 58)

"Indeed, Allah is the [sole] Provider, the firm possessor of strength."

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ also said,

“Seek help from Allah in your pursuit of sustenance, for indeed, rizq is in the Hands of Allah.”

The book includes 26 authentic supplications derived from the Qur’an and Hadith, such as:
"اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ذَنْبِي وَوَسِّعْ لِي فِي دَارِي وَبَارِكْ لِي فِي رِزْقِي"
"O Allah! Forgive my sins, expand my home, and bless my sustenance."

These du'as are powerful in increasing and blessing one’s rizq. Additionally, the book highlights four critical warnings essential for acquiring sustenance and having one's supplications accepted. This book serves as a guide for anyone who wishes to increase their provision, attain blessings in it, and gain the pleasure of Allah, since everything is ultimately in His control.

Key Features:

• A complete lesson in placing trust in Allah as the sole provider, backed by Qur’anic and Prophetic references.

  "اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا وَرِزْقًا طَيِّبًا وَعَمَلًا مُتَقَبَّلًا"
  "O Allah! I ask You for beneficial knowledge, pure sustenance, and accepted deeds."

  “Allah has guaranteed your rizq, but He has commanded you to act.”
