Watch on YouTube ↗ · Read this episode as a blog post
AI may change or remove a job, but it cannot take our provision, because the Quran says it is guaranteed by God: “There is not a creature on earth whose provision is not guaranteed by GOD.” [11:6] In this episode we look at what rizq is, why trusting God goes together with effort, what to do when a whole job disappears, who we are without a job title, and why God is closer to us than any chatbot.
