What is the ruling on one who faces difficulties in finding work while having weak faith?
A servant is afflicted with poverty to test their patience. The duty is to be patient and seek reward from Allah. Allah Almighty said: "And the patient in adversity and affliction" (Al-Baqarah: 177). So you must be patient and knock on doors to seek sustenance, and you must have Taqwa (piety, fear of Allah), for it is the cause of all good, provision, and a way out of hardship. Allah Almighty said: "And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out And will provide for him from where he does not expect." (At-Talaq: 2-3).
