Distance from Bad Death

The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: "He who
desires that his life be prolonged, his Rizq be expanded and he be
distanced from a bad death, should be afraid of Allah and should take
care of his relatives." [Musnad Ahmed]
Two things (fearing Allah and taking care of relatives) result in
three benefits:
1. A longer life,
2. Greater Rizq,
3. A good death.
Rizq is usually taken to mean livelihood but it is inclusive of much
more. Itincludes all that Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) bestows on one of
his creatures. Thus, in a person's Rizq is their wealth, their
children, their natural abilities such as intelligence, etc.
Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) is Al-Ghani. Al-Ghani means "The Rich One":
Hewho does not depend foranything on anyone, He is entirely
self-sufficient. In fact, He is the means ofenrichment of all others.
Whichever human being does good, does so for his/her own benefit. If
everyone on earth were to become fully consciousof Allah's rights,
obey Himand thus do good, it would not increase His kingdom. And if
all human beings were to become disobedient to Him, that too would
only be their own loss and it would not decrease His kingdom or harm
Him in the least. Despite Allah's independence of His creation, He is
not unmindful of them and it does not prevent Him from being merciful
towards us.
