Worrying about the Future

Question:

Noble Shaykh, may Allaah grant you success, (the questioner) says: I preserve the five prayers within their times, I am constant in reciting the Qur’aan, and superogatory fasting, and for Allaah is the praise. However, at times fear of the future overtakes me; the future in terms of livelihood and provisions; and fear over the future and provisions of my children; specifically within these recent times. From that which it has caused to enter my soul is grief, anxiety, and confusion. So what is your guidance and advice regarding these affairs?

Answer (by Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan):

This is from Shaytaan. It is upon you to seek refuge from Shaytaan; if there comes to you something from these (matters) seek refuge with Allaah and have a good thought about Allaah. Put your trust in Allaah, and Allaah will rectify your affairs, insha-Allaah.
