3439 Sustenance: in the symbolic as well as the literal sense. Seek from Allah all that is necessary for your upkeep and development, and for preparing you for your future Destiny.

He will give you all that is necessary for your growth and well being, and you should show your gratitude to Him by conforming your will entirely to His ( Cf. n. 3412).
