What should a person do if the world has become too confined for him and he cannot find work despite his search and his possession of a degree, leading him to hate this worldly life?
The most precious provision for a Muslim is faith, and from it comes contentment with Allah's decree and destiny. So, if good befalls him, he praises and thanks Allah, and if a calamity befalls him, he perseveres and seeks recompense. This does not mean laziness; rather, one must rely on Allah and adopt the legitimate means to acquire provision, which include: asking Allah for provision, fearing Him, avoiding sins, and engaging in all types of permissible work such as trade and others.
