Book Name:Tarke Jamat Ki Waeeden
When Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ Himself takes the guarantee of sustenance for every living being then we should have absolute trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ instead of missing Salah due to our business activities. Whatever the sustenance is in our destiny, will approach to us and other affairs will get resolved too اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ.
Allah says in the Holy Quran:
وَ مَنْ یَّتَّقِ اللّٰهَ یَجْعَلْ لَّهٗ مَخْرَجًاۙ(۲)وَّ یَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَیْثُ لَا یَحْتَسِبُؕ-وَ مَنْ یَّتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللّٰهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهٗؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بَالِغُ اَمْرِهٖؕ-قَدْ جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ لِكُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدْرًا(۳)

If each and every person have absolute trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, seeks blessings of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ with apparent means and have piety and asceticism in her heart, performs Salah in order to have the privilege of the remembrance of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ then it is not impossible to believe that she will have blessings in her business and sustenance.
Business and the routine of the companions رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُم
If we have a look at the biographies of the blessed companions رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُم and their ways of living then we find piety, abstinence and seeking pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ in every aspect and outlook of their lives. These blessed and accepted bondmen of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ would never remain heedless of Salah and the remembrance of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ in spite of their business activities. If they
