Imam Sajjad says…
It has been mentioned in the Du’a Sahar of Imam Sajjad (a) that: “O’ Lord! You provide sustenance for those who do not recognize you and do not worship you”. Even snakes and scorpions receive God’s sustenance. So, it is a pity that the desires and prayers of a person revolve around material matters only. Allah ensures the sustenance of all of the disbelievers and hypocrites. So, is it right for human beings to strive and exert all of their efforts for this alone – to receive material and worldly things from Allah?
