Ar-Razzaq
The Provider, He who provides all things beneficial to His creatures.
It is God who has made the earth a resting-place for you
and the sky a canopy,
and has formed you -- and formed you so well --
and provided for you sustenance out of the good things of life.
Such is God, your Sustainer:
hallowed, then, is God, the Sustainer of all the worlds!
Ghafir 40:64, tr. Asad
Look at every animal from the gnat to the elephant:
they all are God's family
and dependent on Him for their nourishment.
What a nourisher is God!
All these griefs within our hearts
arise from the smoke and dust
of our existence and vain desires.
Mathnawi I:2295-2296, tr. Helminski
If recited 11 times after Wajib Prayer, the person will have never to worry about his/her sustenance. If recited regularly a great deal, the sustenance will be increased by Almighty Allah. Before morning Prayer if this name is recited 10 times on each corner of the house, starting from Qiblah side, there will be abundance of sustenance.
