These words from Ali ibn Abi Talib (رضي الله عنه) are a masterclass that every Muslim needs to internalize, especially in our time where people are obsessed with the fleeting crumbs of this dunya. You see the wealthy man flaunting his riches, his heart echoing the arrogance of Qarun who said: "I was only given this because of knowledge I have." By الله, Rziq has never been about intellect, effort, cleverness, or strategy. Its a divine distribution from the All-Wise, the All-Knowing, given to whom He wills. I've seen brilliant, hardworking men squeezed in their rizq, and I've seen the lazy and the foolish showered with it. Those who make the pursuit of this world their only concern are the ones lacking in intellect. If your day is spent in a desperate, anxious pursuit of a rizq that cannot be forced, then you are the one who is cheated. You'll never receive a single grain more or less than what الله has written for you. This is Aqdah every Muslim must hold: your Rziq is in the Hand of الله. Whether you chase it with the intensity of a starving man or flee from it, it will find you just as surely as your death will find you. Stop making yourself a slave to work, to bosses, or to human means. When you realize that the Provider is الله alone, you stop humiliating yourself before anyone but الله. If the cause you rely on today disappears, the Creator of that cause will provide through another. He is the Cause of all causes, the All-Provider, with no partner. Focus on the Akhirah. Seek the pleasure of الله. Let your heart be at rest knowing your share is secured by the One who created you. Whoever attaches his heart to the means (Al-Asbab) rather than the Creator of those means, الله will leave him to those means. Consequently, he becomes humiliated, enslaved to them, and he shall attain nothing except what الله has already decreed for him. Indeed, the Shirk of means is among the most prevalent forms of Shirk, we ask الله for Al-afiyah. Live with dignity, live free, and fear no one but the One who provides for you and sustains your soul.
