The Rear Provider

Do not seek sustenance from people. God is the real Provider.

If He wills a certain person to be the means of your livelihood,

do not consider that person to be in control of your destiny.

Have faith and be certain in the knowledge that

your daily bread does not depend upon any mortal,

but upon God who created all.

-Syed Ali Bin Uthman al-Hujwairi, "The Kashf al-Mahjub"
