Fear from Shaitan and forgiveness and bounty from Allah swt, Dr Emdad Khan
Surah Baqarah Ay 268
2:268
ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ يَعِدُكُمُ ٱلْفَقْرَ وَيَأْمُرُكُم بِٱلْفَحْشَآءِ
ۖ وَٱللَّهُ يَعِدُكُم مَّغْفِرَةًۭ مِّنْهُ وَفَضْلًۭا ۗ وَٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعٌ عَلِيمٌۭ ٢٦٨
The Devil threatens you with ˹the prospect of˺ poverty and bids you to the shameful deed ˹of stinginess˺, while Allah promises you forgiveness and ˹great˺ bounties from Him. And Allah is All-Bountiful, All-Knowing.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Here it is very clear and a good contrast.
Shaitan put fear in our mindset and provokes us for immorality.
Allah swt promises forgiveness and bounty.
This happens many times to many of us.
We get stressed about what will happen, poverty or we did not get this or that.
Increases our anxiety.
Bur provision, Rizq or good and bad from Allah swt
We trust in the forgiveness of Allah and Rizq from Allah swt.
What is destined for us is ours, no one can take it from us.
So let us not get stressed or be anxious,
Be normal, do our day-to-day activities and make dua.
And Allah swt is with us.
Remember when Abu Bakr and Prophet Muhammed were in cave,
when Abu Bakr got scared, Muhammed pbuh said Allah swt is with us.
So, we put our trust in Allah and do our sayee, normal effort.
Allah swt is with us and will give us our Rizq and bounty InshaAllah.
