Mawlana Shaykh Nazim had a beautiful saying in his last days:

“Yawmun Jadeed, Rizqun Jadeed.” What does it mean? A new day, a new Rizq/provision. If Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives life every day, there is a new day. And provision is new on that day. Everything is the way Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla destined it to be.

People have yesterday and today. Allah ﷻ knows about tomorrow. So when they reach tomorrow, a new day starts and a new page opens. The things to be done on that page, the provision given by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla on that day, all of them are new then. The charity, goodness and worship to be performed; all of them are written on that new page. When that day is over and if there is another day, it is new again.

, “Yawmun Jadeed, Rizqun Jadeed” is in everything. Your food and drinks, goodness and charity you will make, the breath you will take; all of them are given anew to people. Therefore, when a new day comes, people should evaluate it. And it is good to be the way Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla wants. It will be good and beneficial.

Otherwise, people don’t realize what is new or old. They don’t appreciate it. They don’t know what to do and how to do. Days pass and they think all of them are the same. No, they are not the same. Every day there is a new day, there is new provision. Everything is new. We should make Shukr to Allah ﷻ. We must know this. This is the wisdom of this beautiful saying of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim. A day is new -, “Yawmun Jadeed, Rizqun Jadeed.” He used to say it to make Shukr. And he said it more often in his last days. We always heard it.

Certainly, we cannot appreciate the things he knew and appreciated as much as him. So do people. People are not appreciating anything. They don’t care about the new or the old, the day or the provision. They are forgetting about Ar-Razzaq. They are forgetting the One who gives new days and new provision. They are living in heedlessness. May Allah ﷻ protect us. May Allah ﷻ give us alertness so that we appreciate our days and provision. May we make Shukr every day for reaching it safely. May it be a beautiful day insha’Allah. May we live with Iman, Islam and Rizq insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
