Allah alone is the Provider (ar-Razzaq), these verses affirm, and the provision of every living being is His charge; He extends it or restricts it for whom He wills. Abundance is not a sign of His approval, but an honour for the believer and a trial for the disbeliever; as for gratitude to the Provider, it is an obligation and requires not spreading corruption on earth.

And if only the people of the cities had believed and feared Allāh, We would have opened [i.e., bestowed] upon them blessings from the heaven and the earth; but they denied [the messengers], so We seized them for what they were earning.
[Allāh] said, "Descend from it [i.e., Paradise] - all, [your descendants] being enemies to one another. And if there should come to you guidance from Me - then whoever follows My guidance will neither go astray [in the world] nor suffer [in the Hereafter].
