Worried About Money? What the Quran Says About Rising Prices

The devil promises you poverty and commands you to commit evil, while GOD promises you forgiveness from Him and grace. GOD is Bounteous, Omniscient.

There is not a creature on earth whose provision is not guaranteed by GOD. And He knows its course and its final destiny. All are recorded in a profound record.

Many a creature that does not carry its provision, GOD provides for it, as well as for you. He is the Hearer, the Omniscient.

In the heaven is your provision, and everything that is promised to you.

Say, "My Lord is the One who controls all provisions; He increases the provisions for whomever He chooses from among His servants, or reduces them. Anything you spend (in the cause of GOD), He will reward you for it; He is the Best Provider."

We will surely test you through some fear, hunger, and loss of money, lives, and crops. Give good news to the steadfast.

When an affliction befalls them, they say, "We belong to GOD, and to Him we are returning."

These have deserved blessings from their Lord and mercy. These are the guided ones.

With pain there is gain.

Indeed, with pain there is gain.

When the human being is tested by his Lord, through blessings and joy, he says, "My Lord is generous towards me."

But if He tests him through reduction in provisions, he says, "My Lord is humiliating me!"

Wrong! It is you who brought it on yourselves by not regarding the orphan.

And not advocating charity towards the poor.

As for those who provided them with a home and a refuge, and were believers before them, they love those who immigrated to them, and find no hesitation in their hearts in helping them. In fact, they readily give them priority over themselves, even when they themselves need what they give away. Indeed, those who overcome their natural stinginess are the successful ones.

The example of those who spend their monies in the cause of GOD is that of a grain that produces seven spikes, with a hundred grains in each spike. GOD multiplies this manifold for whomever He wills. GOD is Bounteous, Knower.

You remain preoccupied with hoarding.

Until you go to the graves.

He said, "What you cultivate during the next seven years, when the time of harvest comes, leave the grains in their spikes, except for what you eat.

"After that, seven years of drought will come, which will consume most of what you stored for them.

"After that, a year will come that brings relief for the people, and they will, once again, press juice."

Once the prayer is completed, you may spread through the land to seek GOD's bounties, and continue to remember GOD frequently, that you may succeed.

When they give, they are neither extravagant, nor stingy; they give in moderation.

Once the interim is fulfilled, you may reconcile with them equitably, or go through with the separation equitably. You shall have two equitable witnesses witness the divorce before GOD. This is to enlighten those who believe in GOD and the Last Day. Anyone who reverences GOD, He will create an exit for him.

And will provide for him whence he never expected. Anyone who trusts in GOD, He suffices him. GOD's commands are done. GOD has decreed for everything its fate.

Indeed, the human being is anxious.

If touched by adversity, despondent.

If blessed by wealth, stingy.

Except for the worshipers.

Who always observe their contact prayers (Salat).
