الرزق بيد الله 'Rizq is in the hands of God' I missed an easy 25yard shot on a big buck the other day. I was really upset at myself, constantly replaying in my head what I should or could have done differently, even lost sleep over it! My mom reminded me, as she often does : وَفِي السَّمَاءِ رِزْقُكُمْ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ 'Your provision is in heaven – and what you are promised.' [51:22] That big buck was simply not meant for me, it was written for another person (or animal!) to harvest. I’m trying my best to internalize this understanding: That my ‘cut’ of this world has already been set, and what I will earn is already promised. Nothing quite forces me to accept this reality and understanding more than hunting. One can plan meticulously, do all the right things a hunter needs to do, but will not harvest except what was written for them. May Allah give us what is best 🤲🏼
