You can also increase your own provisions.
However, you will not believe it, so it’s useless.
Every single person can increase their provisions and obtain unlimited provisions.
How Are Provisions Increased?
Muhammad Laraib from Karachi has asked a question:
Please help me with this issue.
Is the physical and spiritual provision of the disciple in the control of the Spiritual Master?
No, it is not in the control of the Spiritual Master.
You are provided with provisions from God.
It’s not in the Spiritual Master’s control.
However, the Spiritual Master can increase the provisions with his spiritual attention.
The Spiritual Master has ways to do so.
You can also increase your own provisions.
However, you will not believe it, so it’s useless.
Every single person can increase their provisions and obtain unlimited provisions.
A man found out through a Man of God the quantity of his provisions.
So the Man of God told him about his provisions.
Then, he said to the Man of God,
‘Ask God to bestow the entirety of my provisions in one go’.
God accepted this and the man was given the provisions of his entire life in one day.
It was only enough to last him six months.
So this man used all his provisions to open up a free communal kitchen;
everyone was invited to eat there.
‘Come all, and eat!’ He distributed his life provisions among all.
Although that communal kitchen should have only lasted six months, it was thriving;
seven months passed, then eight. It kept going on and never stopped.
10 months passed, then a year.
So the man went to the Man of God and said, ‘You told me it would only last for six months and then I would run out’.
The Man of God checked [spiritually] and said, ‘Well, you’re no longer using your own provisions.
Your provisions ended six months ago,
but now, you are living off the provisions of others since you have been feeding them’.
This is the truth,
but common people don’t believe in it.
If you feed and help the needy through your provisions,
God shall increase your own provisions.
This is in fact an attribute of a momin:
wa mimma razaqnahum yanfiqoon
‘And share generously with others the provisions you have been provided by God’.
Sharing is caring.
If you then say, ‘No, these are my provisions, I will not give it to anyone else’,
then that’s your call.
But understand this: if you share with someone what God has written in your provisions,
they also have provisions in their fate and God will provide you from their fate.
You must have heard your elders say to feed the guests that come because everyone eats what is written in their fate.
How do they eat what is written in their fate?
That’s how it’s done.
You think you’ve fed them: I’m the one who did the hard work, I’m the one who prepared the food and cooked the bread.
How are they eating from their own provisions?
Fair enough you prepared the food but it is God who provides.
You ate food on your own today
and tomorrow, you will feed a hundred,
do you think they would be fed from your provisions? Nay!
Your fate only dispensed your share of the food.
The hundred people were fed from their own provisions.
If you feed others from your provisions then God shall provide you with unlimited provision.
What is unlimited provision? It is for God to revoke your provision and bestow upon you his limitless mercy.
So, help the needy, feed the poor and be loving to orphans
and God shall provide you with unlimited provisions.
