P. 69

There is no creature on the earth which is not dependent upon
            Allah for its provision. He knows where it lives and where it dies.
            They are all in a Clear Book. (Qur'an, 11:6)
            So that Allah can reward them for the best of what they did and
            give them more from His unbounded favour. Allah provides for
            anyone He wills without reckoning. (Qur'an, 24:38)
            Were Allah to expand the provision of His servants, they would
            act as tyrants on the earth. But He sends down whatever He wills
            in a measured way. He is aware of and He sees His servants.
            (Qur'an, 42:27)
            Allah expands provision to anyone He wills and restricts it. They
            rejoice in the life of this world. Yet the life of this world, compared
            to the hereafter, is only fleeting enjoyment. (Qur'an, 13:26)


            IT IS HE WHO GRANTS LAUGHTER
            AND TEARS
            That it is He Who brings about both laughter and tears. (Qur'an,
            53:43)
            HE GIVES LIFE AND DEATH
            How can you reject Allah, when you were dead and then He gave
            you life, then He will make you die and then give you life again,
            then you will be returned to Him? (Qur'an, 2:28)
            It is He Who takes you back to Himself at night, while knowing
            the things you perpetrate by day, and then wakes you up again,
            so that a specified term may be fulfilled. Then you will return to
            Him. Then He will inform you about what you did. (Qur'an, 6:60)
            We said, 'Hit him with part of it!' In that way Allah gives life to the
            dead and He shows you His Signs so that hopefully you will
            understand. (Qur'an, 2:73)

            HE BRINGS THE DEAD TO LIFE
            And the Hour is coming without any doubt and Allah will raise
            up all those in the graves. (Qur'an, 22:7)
