How should someone act who has no money or source of income, yet has many needs?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A Muslim is required to utilize the means to achieve their objectives, and this includes permissible work and earning, which may be obligatory for maintaining one's dignity and fulfilling rights, and commendable for anything beyond that. The Prophet, peace be upon him, encouraged work and earning. Among the most important means to achieve what is sought is to turn to Allah and supplicate frequently. Allah Almighty says: "Call upon Me; I will respond to you" (Quran 40:60), and "Is not He who responds to the distressed one when he calls upon Him?" (Quran 27:62).
