Al-Mulk 67:20–21
Who provides for you?
أَمَّنْ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى هُوَ جُندٌۭ لَّكُمْ يَنصُرُكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ۚ إِنِ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ إِلَّا فِى غُرُورٍ ٢٠ أَمَّنْ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى يَرْزُقُكُمْ إِنْ أَمْسَكَ رِزْقَهُۥ ۚ بَل لَّجُّوا۟ فِى عُتُوٍّۢ وَنُفُورٍ ٢١
The meaning, simply
Who could help you other than the Most Merciful? And who could provide for you if Allah held back His provision? No one. But the disbelievers kept on being stubborn and turning away from the truth.

All your food is provision from Allah. What do you say before and after eating?
