In order to understand Allah’s Name ar-Razzaq, we need to know what rizq means. Rizq is what has been apportioned for you which benefits
you. So Allah (swt) is ar-Razzaq—He is the One who creates your rizq,
and takes it upon Himself to deliver what He has apportioned to His servants.
And because He is ar-Razzaq, and not ar-Raaziq, He provides this sustenance to everyone: Muslim and non-Muslim, woman and man, humans and animals and plants.
It encompasses everything on earth. Allah (swt) says in the Qur’an:
“And there is no creature on earth but that upon Allah is its provision
[rizq], and He knows its place of dwelling and place of storage. All is in a clear register.” (Qur’an, 11:6)
This is a statement from Allah (swt). He says that the provision for His
creatures is upon Him. And in case we had doubt, Allah (swt) takes an oath by the heavens and earth. He says:
“And in the heaven is your provision and whatever you are promised. Then by the Lord of the heaven and earth, indeed, it is truth – just as [sure as] it is that you are speaking.” (Qur’an, 51:22-23)
