In the 51st chapter of the Qur’an, verse 22, Allah (SWT) says, “In heaven is your rizq and whatever you are promised.” Rizq, meaning provision or sustenance, comes in different forms, but Allah is clear that He is the One who provides it. 

Can we control our rizq to get the things we want? If our provision is already determined, what is the purpose of our effort? How can our understanding of God as The Provider change our day-to-day actions? 

Join host Mohamad Zaoud for a conversation with Dr. Jinan Yousef, a fellow at Yaqeen and author of the popular book, "Reflecting on the Names of Allah."
