[2:22] He Who assigned to you the earth for a couch and heaven for an edifice; and sent down from the heaven water, wherewith He brought forth fruits for your provision; so set not up compeers to God, while you know.
He is made known to them by the mention of the favors He has granted in the creation of the heaven for them as a roof raised (saqf marjūʿ), the establishment of the earth for them as a couch laid out (farsh maw?ūʿ), and the bringing forth of plants by the rain for them as a provision gathered (rizq majmūʿ). It is said He freed them from the favor of simulacra (amthāl) by eliminating from [the notion] of cause (ʿilla) that which is necessary. So the heaven is sufficient for them as a covering, the earth as a bed, the permissible things as provision, obedience as a trade, worship as an occupation, remembrance as an intimate friend, and the Lord as a guardian - so set not up compeers with God and do not attach your hearts to others in seeking what you need. The Real (swt) is One alone in creating, there is no originator other than Him. When you imagine anything in events beneficial or harmful, good or bad, as originating from a created thing, this is in actuality a kind of idolatry (shirk).
While you know that is not appropriate to raise the matter of your need with someone who has his own need. The attachment of one in need to another one in need and the reliance of the weak on the weak increases poverty and will not stop harmful occurrences.
