Are people equal in the sum total of their provisions, including money, health, children, and peace of mind, despite the varying proportions of each category?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The statement that people are equal in provision is false; it contradicts both religious texts and observable reality. Allah has favored some of His servants over others in provision as a test, and He is the One who has apportioned their livelihoods in the worldly life and raised some above others in degrees. This is clarified in numerous verses, which state that He extends provision to whom He wills and restricts it, thereby negating the equality of people in it.
