39 AL MUQEET – THE NOURISHER

THE NOURISHER WHO MAINTAINS, PRESERVES, WATCHES OVER AND NOURISHES ALL OF HIS CREATION ACCORDING TO ITS NEEDS (BOTH BODY AND SOUL).

 وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُقِيتًا
“..And Allah Nourishes all things”. 4:85

‘Quwt’ (from which the word Muqeet is derived) means the personalised nourishment that each body and soul requires. The soul receives nourishment in the form of knowledge and love.
He makes accessible what each creature requires for the nourishment of its body and soul.

One of the signs of Al Muqeet is the milk that flows from a mother to her young. All of creation is provided for in different ways.

Rumi says:
….Look at every animal from the gnat to the elephant:
they all are God’s family
and dependent on Him for their food.
What a nourisher is God! (Al Muqeet).

There is a difference between need and the acquisition of that which is beyond necessity and possibly harmful to ourselves ad the earth. To manifest the quality of Al Muqeet, we need to understand what really nourishes us.

The Qur’an and the Ahlul Bayt have taught us what best nourishes and poisons our bodies and souls.

Recite YAA MUQEET frequently for safety on a journey.
