one to encounter disasters or be affected by them nothing would happen to him. This universal law, as pointed earlier is not only presented by revelation, but also established by reason.
Ensuring Sustenance
Having realized this important truth, let us now look at the following verses of the holy Qur'an:
1. [Chapteral-A'raf-7: 96]:

And if the people of the towns were to be believe and observe piety, surely we would have opened to them the blessings of the heaven and the earth...
2. [Chapter al-Talaq-65: 2-3]:

And whosoever is God-wary (observes piety) He would make for him an outlet [from difficulties] and Bestow on him sustenance from whence he thinks not. ..
3. [Chapter Nuh ('a)- 71: 10-12]:

Then I said: seek forgiveness from your Lord, [for] surely He is the Most- forgiving; He would send down abundance of rain upon you; and help you with wealth and sons; and make for you gardens and make for you rivers
These verses inform the human being the best path of ensuring sustenance and necessarily avoiding the calamity of hunger. If the culture of taqwa and istighfar (in its various manifestations and dimensions] were to prevail, hunger would no more be a predicament save in cases like that of Divine trial.
