Your Provision Is in the Heaven
وَفِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ رِزۡقُكُمۡ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ ٢٢
And in the heaven is your providence and that which ye are promised.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
And in the heaven is your provision and what you are promised.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, in the heaven are the causes of your provision, like rain and warmth, and what you are promised, or it is decreed there.
Reflect
Pray for your provision looking to the heavens, not the ground.
