ALLAH, THE PROVIDER

"Let man look at his food. We make the rain pour forth in abundance. Then We cause the earth to part into clefts. We then grow on the earth grains, grapes, vegetables, olives, date palms, dense gardens, fruit and fodder for your benefit and for the benefit of your animals." (80:24-32)

"He Who made the earth as a bedding for you, made roads for you and sent water from the sky. Then We extracted by this, various kinds of plants for you." (20:53)

"Eat and graze your animals. There are certainly Aayaat in this for the intelligent." (20: 54)

"We have spread out the earth, placed mountains on it and placed on it a measured amount of everything.

We have placed the amenities (resources) of life on earth for you and We have created those things for which you do not provide.

We have with Us the treasures of all things and We send them down only in stipulated quantities.

We send the winds that fill the clouds with water, then send down water from the sky which We give you to drink. You do not have the ability to store it.

Without doubt, it is We Who give life and death, and We will be the successors" (15:19-23)
