Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 415/268/SD=5/1438)

The provision and livelihood is destined by Allah. Allah (swt) gives provision as per the capacity of the man. If a man is facing shortage of livelihood while he is following the commandments of Allah then this shall be a blessings for him. For a pious person the affairs of this world become a source of progress. Therefore, you should not be disheartened and worried. You should make continuous efforts, but you should also be content with what Allah has destined for you and should regularly read masnoon duas in the evening and morning. It is better if you read one Manzil daily from al-Hizb al-Azam or Munajat-e-Maqbul, every type of dua is available in it such as jealousy, prosperity in the provision, and supplication of goodness and protection from each type of evil.
