Economics and Family Stability
📌 Approximately 500,000 divorces occur annually in Indonesia out of millions of marriages, with the primary cause being economic issues.
💔 Many people enter marriage focused only on enjoyment ("I love you") rather than recognizing that love alone cannot provide necessities like rice.
👩‍👧‍👦 A significant number of women (TKW/Female Migrant Workers) leave their families due to economic pressures, highlighting the strain financial problems place on marital stability.

Divine Decree and Provision (Rizq)
📜 Allah recorded everything that would happen until the Day of Judgment 50,000 years before the creation of the heavens and the earth, emphasizing that provision (rizq) is predetermined.
🐦 Even animals that do not store resources (like fish or polar bears) are provided for by Allah, illustrating that provision is guaranteed for all creatures.
🎓 Financial success is not directly related to academic qualifications; an illiterate person can be extremely wealthy while highly educated individuals remain on modest salaries, confirming that rizq is set by Allah, not solely by effort or degrees.

The Nature of Rizq and Its Types
💰 Rizq is not always a blessing (nikmat); if obtained through unlawful means (haram) or if lawful rizq leads to disobedience, it becomes a trial or torment (azab).
🚶‍♂️ There are two types of rizq: that which searches for you (like inheritance, rainfall, invitation to weddings) and that which you search for (through effort/work); people often focus too much on the latter.
🤲 Those who practice Taqwa (piety/fear of Allah) are promised solutions (Makhraj) and provision from unexpected sources (QS. At-Talaq, 65:2-3).

Tawakkul (Reliance on God) and Conduct
🕋 The core message from the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to Ibn Abbas is: "Guard Allah, and Allah will guard you," emphasizing that protecting one's faith ensures divine protection for oneself and family.
🛑 Believers must use good methods in seeking provision and must not abandon piety due to perceived slow progress in wealth accumulation (avoiding gambling/usury).
🧘 Hatim al-Asam defined the foundation of Tawakkul on four points: 1) Rizq is solely for oneself and cannot be taken by others, 2) One's deeds are one's own responsibility, 3) Death comes suddenly, and 4) Allah is always watching.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Do not compare your financial status with those above you; instead, look at those below you to foster gratitude for the blessings (health, faith) you possess.
➡️ Tawakkul is an act of the heart involving 100% certainty in Allah (Ath-Thiqatu billah) combined with active effort; both effort (Amal) and trust are required.
➡️ A person’s ultimate fate (Heaven or Hell) is sealed according to their actions, but actions are the means to manifest that pre-written outcome; therefore, one must always strive to do good deeds (Amal).
