Surah Al-Talaq, Ayah 2-3

August 5, 2025
وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مَخْرَجًا ۝ وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ ۚ وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَالِغُ أَمْرِهِ ۚ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدْرًا
And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out. And will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allah - then He is sufficient for him. Indeed, Allah will accomplish His purpose. Allah has already set for everything a [decreed] extent.
اور جو اللہ سے ڈرے گا، اللہ اس کے لیے نکلنے کا راستہ بنا دے گا۔ اور اسے وہاں سے رزق دے گا جہاں سے اس کا گمان بھی نہیں۔ اور جو اللہ پر بھروسہ کرے تو وہ اس کے لیے کافی ہے۔ بے شک اللہ اپنا کام پورا کرنے والا ہے۔ اللہ نے ہر چیز کے لیے ایک اندازہ مقرر کر دیا ہے۔

Allah promises to provide solutions to problems and sustenance from unexpected sources for those who fear Him and follow His guidance. The concept of tawakkul (reliance on Allah) is emphasized as the key to receiving divine sufficiency. The verses assure believers that Allah will accomplish His purposes and that everything happens according to His divine decree and timing. This teaching provides comfort during difficult times and encourages believers to maintain their faith and moral standards even when facing challenges, trusting that Allah will provide relief and sustenance in ways they cannot imagine.

Context
