KNOWLEDGE

THE NAME OF ALLAH AL-MUQEET is mentioned once in the Qur’an.

WHO IS AL-MUQEET?

• Allah Al-Muqeet is the One Who delivers nourishment to all that exists. He delivers their provision to them and disposes it according to His will, which is based on perfect wisdom and praise. He sends down what nourishes His creation and divides their provision amongst the small and big, the rich and poor and the strong and weak.
• He measured therein what the people need of provision, the places that bring forth plants wherein seeds (i.e. their nourishment) can be sown, and what is suitable for their livelihood of goods, trees and benefits.
• Allah Al-Muqeet is the One Who surrounds His slaves and their conditions by His knowledge. He encompasses what they need from Him and He encompasses them with His ability, for He is able to do everything. He is in control of their protection, provision and sustenance. He nourishes their bodies with food and provision and nourishes the hearts of those whom He wills with knowledge and faith. He knows the amount, type and how the creation will receive the provision.
• All the creations have different nourishment which Allah Al-Muqeet provides them. The nourishment of the animals is different from the nourishment of the humans which is different from that of the angels. The nourishment of the angels is “tasbeeh” – glorifying Allah and negating all imperfection from Him.
• Any nourishment that comes to us from Allah Al-Muqeet will keep us levelled and balanced.
• Allah Al-Muqeet knows the right measure of recompense for our good and bad deeds.

IMPACTS

• To be moderate in our life and to ask Allah Al-Muqeet to give us the right portion in food, speech, actions, worships and feelings. We do not want to go through extremes while we are alive; not that we do nothing or we do too much and end up harming ourselves.
• Ask Allah Al-Muqeet for all the nourishment needed for you and your family.

IN THE QUR’AN

مَّن يَشْفَعْ شَفَاعَةً حَسَنَةً يَكُن لَّهُ نَصِيبٌ مِّنْهَا وَمَن يَشْفَعْ شَفَاعَةً سَيِّئَةً يَكُن لَّهُ كِفْلٌ مِّنْهَا وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُّقِيتًا

Whosoever intercedes for a good cause will have the reward thereof, and whosoever intercedes for an evil cause will have a share in its burden. And Allah is Ever All-Able to do (and also an All-Witness to) everything.

[Surah An-Nisaa [4:85]
