Modern society has reduced the concept of “provision(rizq)”, as described in sacred texts, to mere wealth. We often forget that true provisions are far greater and more enduring: wisdom, intellect, health, integrity, and the resilience to endure hardship. These blessings far outweigh money, which can be spent; currencies, which lose their value; and possessions, which inevitably decay.
This narrow, materialistic perspective dissects life into tangible parts, robbing it of its depth and meaning. It blinds us to the broader vision, the holistic understanding that fosters wisdom and enlightenment.
Let us take a moment to reflect: the greatest provisions in life are those that nourish the soul, not merely sustain the body. True wealth is not found in possessions or fleeting success but in the virtues we embody, the wisdom we gather, and the strength we cultivate through life’s trials. These are the riches that define us, endure beyond time, and leave a lasting impact on the world around us.
