So and so son of so and so does not have the strength to bear\nthe calamities nor to endure poverty. O Allah send blessing on\nMuhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his progeny and do not cut down his\nsustenance and do not curtail Your obligations on him. Do not make him\naway from Your grace, do not make him unsuccessful from Your\nuncountable bounties. Do not entrust him upon Your creatures nor leave\nhim upon himself because he would not be able to take care of himself.\nOn the contrary You Yourself ward off the troubles, which are\nsurrounding him. Only You guide him, be attentive on all his\ntransactions, because if You entrust him upon Your creatures, they\nwould not be able to benefit him, and if You leave him with his friends\nthen they will not give him his due and if they ever give, it will be very\nless and if they do not give it would be nothing at all. And if they behave\nmiserly I would be affected. O Allah! Make so and so son of so and so\nself-sufficient by Your grace and do not neglect him because he is\nrestless in Your presence, and he is fully dependent on the things,\nwhich are in Your power, and are You unaware? You are fully aware\nand knowing it. And whoever relies on Allah then it is sufficient for him\nwithout any doubt Allah will fulfill his desires. Allah has appointed a fix\nterm for everyone. Surely every trouble is accompanied by ease. Surely\nwith every hardship there is ease, and whoever fears Allah, Allah makes\na way for him and he is bestowed from where he had least expected.","title":"The Alawite Book: His supplication when sustenance become...","type":"page"}
