🕌 The Man, His Camel, and the Secret of Rizq 🐪

What is Meant for You Will Find You — A Story of Rizq, Trust, and Divine Wisdom

In the vast stillness of the desert, a man journeyed beneath the scorching sun, his loyal camel at his side. As the time for prayer approached, he spotted a humble masjid in the distance and made his way toward it with urgency.

But as he reached the entrance, a concern weighed on him:

Who would watch his camel?

Just then, another man stepped out of the masjid.

“Could you kindly look after my camel while I pray?” he asked.

The man agreed, and the traveler stepped inside. He prayed quickly, fearing to inconvenience the stranger. After his prayer, he reached into his pouch and prepared 10 dirhams as a token of gratitude.

But when he stepped outside…

✨ The man — and the camel — were gone.

The traveler stood still. His heart could have panicked — but he remembered:

“And there is no creature on Earth except that its provision is due from Allah…” 📖 (Quran, Surah Hud, Chapter 11, Verse 6)

Trusting in Allah’s wisdom, he walked to the nearest market in search of another camel.

And there — amidst the traders and tents — he saw his camel, tied and waiting. Beside it stood the same man he had entrusted before.

With a calm smile, the traveler gave him the 10 dirhams he had prepared.

He had returned to where he began — but now with a heart full of certainty.

Because he now truly understood:

“…And whoever fears Allah — He will make for him a way out, and provide for him from where he does not expect…” 📖 (Quran, Surah At-Talaq, Chapter 65, The Divorce, Verse 2-3)

And also:

“And whoever puts his trust in Allah — then He is sufficient for him.” 📖 (Quran, Surah At-Talaq, Chapter 65, The Divorce, Verse 3)
