The answer

As long as you have repented from cheating, rejoice in good news and do not despair, for sustenance is not confined to one specific door. Whoever is eager to please Allah, strives to take the means, and relies on Him, Allah will provide him with good sustenance and facilitate for him lawful ways of earning. Allah the Almighty says: "And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out And will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allah - then He is sufficient for him." And Allah may avert something from you immediately and reserve something better for you, for He knows best the servant's interests and is more merciful to him. Allah the Almighty says: "But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah knows, while you know not." Seek help from Allah and do not be helpless, occupy your time with what benefits you, and trust that Allah will not abandon you. Allah the Almighty says: "Indeed, he who fears Allah and remains patient, then indeed, Allah does not allow to be lost the reward of those who do good."
