[0:00]go to Allah pray worship cry read Quran no money Islam was

[0:06]able to exist for three things the wealth of khad the sword

[0:09]of Ali and the of the Prophet thank you for joining us

[0:18]in the new series of Islam for you podcasts in this new

[0:21]series we're going to cover a very important topic which is Islamic

[0:24]finances and I'm honored to have you say Abdullah Al musawi as

[0:29]a as an expert on Quran and Hadith so we're going to

[0:33]talk about the different aspects of uh Islamic Finance without further Ado

[0:38]I just want to have my first question asked from you and

[0:42]that is uh from the perspective of Islam From quran's perspective uh

[0:48]prophet's point of view and and what we heard from different stories

[0:53]narrations and stuff there's this conception amongst uh Muslims that Quran hates

[1:01]money profit hated money and Islam doesn't want us to be rich

[1:09]why is that oh first of all thank you for having me

[1:12]it's a pleasure being here with you and looking forward inshallah to

[1:16]having more of these talks well it's a very interesting question God

[1:24]hates money prophets hate money Islam hates money Islam hates money and

[1:28]those who have money that would be accurate depending on who's been

[1:34]teaching you Islam so if you listen to the wrong person preaching

[1:37]then you would live in the slums um and you're trying to

[1:43]make yourself feel comfortable with this rubbish ideas that God doesn't like

[1:47]money we should be poor we should be I don't know mysticky

[1:52]and z and all this wrong concept actually Islam stands against that

[1:57]if it's anything Islam loves many God loves money the pro the

[2:01]they love money and they love those who have money if anything

[2:07]they hate anyone that doesn't have money and the Quran testifies to

[2:11]that so God says make as much money as possible if you

[2:16]make money even sometimes God you know what this is funny God

[2:19]sometimes he himself asks us to give him money seriously yeah but

[2:23]before just going any further um I would like to just uh

[2:27]have some proof for what I said uh when we hear the

[2:32]stories of some rich men that uh money that they had was

[2:36]accompanied by the filthy attitude that they had so we we believe

[2:40]that for example gun's story is that he was a rich guy

[2:45]but he was nasty do you have any proof that can actually

[2:50]uh be used as an Evidence to what you just mentioned okay

[2:54]so first of all um the Quran serves as our constitution right

[2:59]yeah definitely want to know where Allah stands I have to go

[3:04]to the Quran and I have to go to the prophet and

[3:08]the right now so does Quran itself deals with the topic of

[3:11]money and finances and wealth or not now if we go to

[3:16]the Quran and we have to ask the Quran what do you

[3:19]think about money what does money stand now the Quran mentions the

[3:23]world Mal which is the Arabic term for money about 67 times

[3:27]uh about 20 or so in the PL and 20 or so

[3:32]Less in singular form and God says in the Quran he says

[3:39]money is the pillar of everything in life okay so Allah says

[3:42]uh the Ayah says he said he made wealth for you that

[3:47]you can stand on as a pillar now life itself as we

[3:52]understand it stands on the concept of finances without finan this entire

[3:56]world will collapse from Adam until now how is people been dealing

[4:01]with each other isn't it through the concept of money now who

[4:05]brought the concept of money forward it's God himself so God talks

[4:08]about money and he says money is what you need in another

[4:10]verse Allah refers to money as right now there's a story of

[4:16]the the famous story of San and bis right so bis she

[4:23]came from Yemen she came to San in Palestine and obviously through

[4:26]that whole story and she said to her people look he said

[4:28]s is a king King and Kings they known for the wealth

[4:32]so he said why don't you take some money to him and

[4:37]let's just bripe him off see what he says and said to

[4:39]them whatever God gave me like the money I have is much

[4:49]better so then Allah refers to Mal as right as something good

[4:51]so the source of Life Allah subh and this is also a

[4:57]Mis understood concept when he talks about rewarding people we only assume

[5:02]that Allah will reward me with what Deeds when I die that's

[5:07]even not true yes it does reward you with Deeds but in

[5:09]this life what does he reward you with Allah says I reward

[5:14]you with man I reward you with money so Allah also gives

[5:16]you money so if you look at the Quran like I said

[5:20]there's over 60 verses where Allah talks about money again Allah looks

[5:24]at money as an Ador as a beauty for mankind like Allah

[5:32]says ad adornment from not just any M so sometimes you talk

[5:36]about money any might assume God says yeah it's good to have

[5:41]a th000 $2,000 in your bank account Allah says no which is

[5:45]a huge amounts of money and this is the how we human

[5:50]being being programmed to that so why would Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

[5:53]program me to love money and want to make money and get

[5:56]money and and have money saved in my bank accounts and yet

[6:00]then he comes say you know what I hate money and I

[6:04]hate those who have money the problem doesn't make sense the problem

[6:07]is that what we understood is that the hunger for money is

[6:12]uh is becoming this uh obstacle towards riching and sicking God himself

[6:18]yeah so if we we have to choose between these two options

[6:22]that we have either money and and this life or God and

[6:27]the Hereafter life so this is the the that was presented to

[6:34]us and always the the latter was was the preferred one actually

[6:36]this is also again a misunderstood concept like I said depend who

[6:40]depends on who teaches you Islam who said that who said you

[6:43]have to make a choice actually actually in reality this is how

[6:48]Allah works if you want to reach Allah there is no faster

[6:51]way in reaching him than with money so Allah in the Quran

[6:55]says who would give Allah alone that Allah will give you in

[7:02]return so Allah subhana T he wants me to make money and

[7:06]use that money to put in the right places by doing so

[7:11]I'm going to reach Allah much faster now let's do a comparison

[7:14]you're a rich person you have a lot of money I don't

[7:19]now you go you build a hospital you go to Africa dig

[7:21]Wells you make people's life a l easier you treat the orphans

[7:26]you treat the disease the disease you treat anyone that needs money

[7:30]right right you help so much people now Allah subhana T in

[7:36]day of judgment which one is is has more reward you or

[7:40]me obviously you right and this is the emphasis on Islam Islam

[7:46]says make money create money and make as much as you can

[7:49]but the idea is how you use it and what source you

[7:54]put it in now you use the story of Kon yes Allah

[7:59]uses a story of kings and and uh um you know Kings

[8:01]Hitchman and whatever like and and ham and all these people who

[8:07]were or even you know the people time of the Prophet sallallahu

[8:10]alaih Allah says sure the problem with these guys is not the

[8:13]money is bad the intention is bad now Kon himself the star

[8:20]of he came to M said M you close to God speak

[8:25]to God I want money so M prayed for Kar and Allah

[8:27]gave karon this immense amount of money that only the keys of

[8:35]his treasury required for T men to open now when M came

[8:37]to said to now you have money it's time for it to

[8:42]give you taxes your Islamic taxes your your charity your Zak said

[8:45]no why should I all the money I have is mine God

[8:50]has nothing to do with it I made this money right so

[8:55]the problem with not that he has money is what he did

[8:57]with his money he decided to keep it now so you're saying

[9:01]I have to make a choice either the D or I say

[9:06]no the D is the mean for me and you to Trel

[9:07]to Allah subhana wa tala because you know sometimes there's aliam one

[9:13]day he was sitting with his friends and he sent someone he

[9:17]hurt someone cursing the says right him hold on hold on why

[9:22]you cursing the what the has to do with anything he said

[9:25]to him through the you get to heaven through the you get

[9:29]to know Allah through the you get to know the aah of

[9:31]Allah through the you get to do so and so and so

[9:34]and so the problem is not with the D the problem is

[9:38]with what you do with it now if my focus in life

[9:39]is just to make money and keep it for myself and become

[9:43]stingy just so I could add extra zeros to my bank account

[9:45]then Allah says obviously this money that you have saved on day

[9:51]of judgment will be a source of punishment for you because Allah

[9:53]says he will melt the gold and silver that you have and

[9:57]he will iron you back with it right it turns as a

[9:59]of of punishment but rather those who have money these ones go

[10:05]to Allah much quicker these ones are more beloved to Allah subhanahu

[10:09]wa taala and sometimes me and you we Envy these people don't

[10:13]we like I'm like I wish I could build a hospital I

[10:14]wish I could do this I wish I could do that for

[10:18]people and sometimes even with me when I look at non-muslims who

[10:20]have a lot of wealth and I see them contributing like millions

[10:25]of dollars to the poor to the needy I'm like that really

[10:28]brings like pain to my heart that I can do this as

[10:33]well you know what I mean so Allah says to me you

[10:36]can work go to business go into trade and then you can

[10:38]move forward so we it's not a matter of option should I

[10:42]choose Allah should I choose the dya no Allah put you in

[10:48]this dya to use this D to get to him but I

[10:49]asked another question the question that I asked was about that hunger

[10:54]MH you mentioned about the intention which you're absolutely right about thank

[11:00]you for sharing this information with us but but the the tricky

[11:05]part about making money is that hunger okay which becomes um a

[11:10]goal itself yeah so what we were taught and again I don't

[11:14]want you to just come up with that who's been teaching you

[11:18]yeah who taught me Islam but but the thing is that this

[11:24]aspect which is about the money becomes the goal is considered that

[11:28]bad so we should neglect it and focus on the spiritual aspects

[11:32]of our lives so this is the problem that hunger itself like

[11:38]when you have the money you would never stop to H want

[11:40]to have more so you just have this thirst to to get

[11:45]more and more of the wealth so so so you might go

[11:48]to explore different aspects of the business you would do different things

[11:53]you would so this will make you have less time on on

[11:56]covering the spiritual aspect of your life and sicking God himself can

[12:03]you mention uh can you address this issue as well like how

[12:06]should we see money if if it's a good thing you're talking

[12:12]about the intention okay I'm convinced thank you but how about the

[12:16]hunger itself okay see as a m as a Believer right me

[12:20]and you our aim in life is to reach Allah subhana wa

[12:25]tala to go to the other side with the most amount of

[12:29]good work with the most amount of actions that on day of

[12:33]judgment will be translated and transferred into deeds into currency in the

[12:38]afterlife now when we have this concept right that I need to

[12:44]do the most I can now there are two ways you can

[12:49]get Deeds to reach the afterlife there's one through the worship acts

[12:53]Salah reading Quran spending the night in tud doing all these worship

[12:57]acts just between you and Allah that will give you a por

[13:02]of reward on day judgment the other one is what you do

[13:05]with people themselves so sometimes you work for Allah subh you get

[13:08]deeds and sometimes you work for people now we've been told by

[13:13]the Quran and by the prophet and by the that the actions

[13:18]that you do for people are much heavier more rewarding than your

[13:23]Salah and so for example if you um sponsor an orphan the

[13:30]Hadith says the Hadith says if you put your hand on the

[13:34]orphan's head trying to comfort him not yet give him money Allah

[13:37]will guarantee you heaven for that if you sponsor an orphan Allah

[13:40]says Heaven is guaranteed for you if you help a sick person

[13:45]Allah says Heaven is guaranteed for you so you see that just

[13:47]a simple act that you do Allah guarantees you heaven so when

[13:53]we look at money as a Believer because my intention is to

[13:56]do what my intention is to make as much Hass possible possible

[14:00]now there is like I said two two ways I can reach

[14:02]this through worship to Allah which is quite tiring and is quite

[14:08]painful to be exact because if I had to spend all night

[14:10]in worshiping Allah reading Quran and fasting that takes a all on

[14:15]me mentally and physically now I could do the same I could

[14:18]get even more triple that amount if not more with doing something

[14:21]else without having to put myself through the stress of I which

[14:27]is through wealth now when it comes to hunger now me as

[14:31]a Believer I need to be as hungry for money as possible

[14:37]I need to have that hunger in me see Hunger is just

[14:40]another word for dedication basically we just using hunger as to express

[14:45]how much we want Allah says when he talks about he says

[14:52]they have this immense love for money now but it depends on

[14:54]what you do with that love now I want to have this

[14:58]huge hunger in me this huge dedication in me to make as

[14:59]much wealth as possible but that itself this hunger stems from Allah

[15:07]subhanahu wa tala I'm directing that hunger through Allah I say oh

[15:10]Allah you know what I want to have millions of dollars I

[15:12]want to have billions of dollars and Allah says to me but

[15:15]why do you want to have that much money so I can

[15:18]help as much people as I can Allah says oh why do

[15:19]you want to help so I can reach and can get to

[15:22]heaven Allah says oh okay that makes a lot of sense but

[15:26]a person for example says you know what I I I'm good

[15:28]Allah says no you're you're missing the point uh a man came

[15:33]to a few there's a few stories of that happening where people

[15:38]come to IM they say to him you know what we businessmen

[15:40]we made enough money and we decided to sit down and and

[15:45]just relax and just enjoy our money and theom says to him

[15:49]you've lost your mind you want crazy you're insane you in our

[15:55]words today in our technical words you're an idiot because there's nothing

[15:59]not such a thing as I had enough no on the contrary

[16:04]make as much as you can so you can pay off people

[16:06]so you can help people so you can get to heaven now

[16:10]even the imams one day IM bakam and it says IM Bak

[16:15]was a he was a not chubby but he was big kind

[16:20]of big boned and uh in one of the most the hardest

[16:22]days in summer the was working in his farm one of the

[16:27]as they call them sufis he came so the Imam and he

[16:33]got he's like look at this guy he calls himself an Imam

[16:36]and you know at this day in this heat and he's trying

[16:42]to make money for this dun so he was disgusted by the

[16:45]act of the Imam so the man said said you know what

[16:47]I'm gonna go advise this guy I'm gonna give him an advice

[16:52]this is what he thought so he came to he said to

[16:53]him don't you have a shame you're such a high caliber person

[16:59]from quray yet you're spending your day you sweating just so you

[17:03]could make money for this for this for this duny and the

[17:09]simply answered he said to him look if malikot comes right now

[17:11]if Israel comes to me right now and he takes my life

[17:15]am I in doing an act of worship to Allah or not

[17:17]he said to him of course you are he said to him

[17:20]which is more better me having to beg you for money or

[17:24]me having to earn my own he said to obviously you earning

[17:28]your own he's like that's why I'm doing this at this time

[17:33]just so I could avoid talking to people like you right on

[17:38]the man he he said he said well you know what I

[17:40]came to give him an advice it turned out that he gave

[17:44]me an advice so the all of them regardless without exception they

[17:47]used to work day and night because they knew were they rich

[17:53]I mean uh first of all did we did we cover the

[17:55]the hunger Hunger thing is still I I'm I'm uh trying to

[18:01]sort it in my head okay so I'm I'm closer to the

[18:07]answer right now but still I think the um the tricky part

[18:10]is that how can I uh use this hunger for money as

[18:18]a means of getting to to Allah is your intention is your

[18:21]intention now if you ask Bill Gates Elon Musk I don't know

[18:25]Steve Jobs may God have mercy on his soul or all these

[18:30]people that made a huge wealth one of their their aim wasn't

[18:33]to make money for itself they were trying to create something they

[18:37]were trying I wouldn't say they were like sincere in their in

[18:42]their knee and their intention for the sake of Allah or for

[18:44]the sake of humanity it was for the sake of creating money

[18:47]but at the same time they wanted to give something back they

[18:49]want to create something okay look this is what I have to

[18:53]offer and if you want to pay for it by all means

[18:55]I'm not I'm going to take your money as well and then

[18:56]they use that money as well so the intention is what matters

[19:00]even Allah we have a that [Music] says your action is based

[19:07]on your if you KN is good then the action becomes good

[19:09]if your kna is bad then your action becomes bad so like

[19:13]I said this hunger would translate to working hard right to dedication

[19:17]to putting effort now every human being on Earth in order for

[19:22]him to achieve anything he needs to have the hunger for whatever

[19:25]he's doing now as a m you as a m as a

[19:29]Believer you need to be hungry for your faith so you can

[19:31]become a better believer if you're a scientist you need to have

[19:34]hunger for you the science that you study if you're a mechanic

[19:36]you need to have that passion for you for you for your

[19:40]cars and your mechanics right so everybody regardless of their jobs if

[19:44]they don't have that passion which which which what we call hunger

[19:47]then they will fail because like you know what ah doesn't matter

[19:51]if it happens happen doesn't happen doesn't happen Allah says no you

[19:55]know what I need to be dedicated you need to put 100%

[19:58]in what whatever you do that is called hunger so when I

[20:02]see someone working hard day and night trying to make money we

[20:04]say he's money hungry actually he's not money hungry he's dedicated to

[20:08]his job dedication is is applauded by Allah dedication is regarded as

[20:14]something really nice to have you need to be dedicated in your

[20:16]action and we see this in the Quran we see this in

[20:20]the words of the without dedication you won't fail you need to

[20:25]be dedicated right so dedication to make money is absolutely wonderful the

[20:29]Quran wants that dedication for you to make money but at the

[20:33]same time is the need that goes with the dedication why am

[20:37]I doing it for what purpose am I doing it am I

[20:39]doing it just so I can become rich and so can people

[20:42]can just worship me or am I no I want to be

[20:45]dedicated make as much money as I can so I can put

[20:49]that money in a better use to help humanity and doing so

[20:52]will get me closer to Allah subhah wa So Hunger is dedication

[20:55]dedication is 100% required in any job that you do in life

[20:59]it doesn't matter what it is if you're not dedicated in your

[21:01]job you pretty much you get get you will get fired thank

[21:05]you but but the other question that I had before getting back

[21:09]to this hunger thing was that from again yeah the things that

[21:17]we heard we barely know any Rich famous figure um or maybe

[21:23]we don't know about islamically or like no no islamically um from

[21:30]the time of prophet uh himself and the time of the the

[21:34]imams okay were there any Rich public uh any person that we

[21:42]know so so we can say okay for example this person who

[21:45]was approved by God was that rich and and was dedicated and

[21:51]could balance these things at the same time yeah so we just

[21:53]can see as a use them as an example okay see um

[21:57]one thing has to become very clear uh sometimes we've been taught

[22:01]Islam wrongly and this is sad this brings pain to my heart

[22:07]that we've been taught Islam in a negative manner every single Prophet

[22:11]that we had we have 124,000 prophets that Allah sent every single

[22:15]one of them had a a skill or had a job that

[22:20]we don't have we do not have in the history of the

[22:24]Prophet a prophet that was just a ledger a person that has

[22:26]nothing to do he was just going around saying what worship Allah

[22:31]worship Allah that never happened every single Prophet had a profession and

[22:35]he was working for that profession and he was earning money and

[22:39]and Allah the the the example that Allah gives even and D

[22:44]David and salon right they were Kings they owned the land they

[22:48]owned everything they had more money than anyone could even fathom and

[22:53]these do were prophet of Allah subhana tala now leave them aside

[22:57]come to our Prophet sallallahu Al our Prophet was did he work

[23:03]did he earn money because sometimes we project and we have this

[23:07]image of the Prophet being a poor person that ties a stone

[23:11]to his stomach out of hunger and go going around begging people

[23:15]for money obviously this is the most negative image you can give

[23:20]to the prophet even though such stories might be found in our

[23:23]books but these were the stories that was trying to put the

[23:25]prophet down right trying to look at true they're not true see

[23:31]the prophet sallallahu alaih when he was young he was working as

[23:34]a Shepherd he was he was working as Shepherd for qur he

[23:39]used to take the Sheep feed them take care of them he

[23:41]brings them back he gets paid for it by the time he

[23:45]was 13 He ventured with with his uncle Abu Talib to Sham

[23:50]on a trip right this is where he made the met this

[23:52]Rabbi B and B said to Abu Talib that this kid is

[23:56]is a special kid he's a prophet right so that was in

[24:00]his way to Sham he was only 12 he comes back from

[24:02]sham and then he was still doing uh more trade with a

[24:07]person by the name of if I remember he was he was

[24:12]his partner he was partner in business right by time he was

[24:15]25 or even just 24 around that age KH she was a

[24:20]very wealthy she was the wealthiest woman in Arabia right so Khadijah

[24:25]she's she's a high caliber Islamic figure she was the wealthiest woman

[24:29]in all of Arabia and khad the prophet sallallahu alai one of

[24:34]his Nick nickname is what am the truthful the trustworthy why did

[24:40]he get that nickname a lot of people don't ask that question

[24:43]why did the prophet s got that nickname of being a truthful

[24:49]that the trustworthy is because that every time he does business with

[24:53]people he would not cheat them he would not lie to them

[24:55]he would tell them the truth and people because through trade and

[25:01]business he was known with this title not anything else cuz how

[25:04]would I know that you're truthful if I don't deal with you

[25:08]on a person level one to one so our Prophet was a

[25:11]because of how much trades and businesses he used to do as

[25:16]a young man that when Khadijah saw that in him she said

[25:18]okay this guy's been doing a lot of traits he's been deemed

[25:23]as a the truthful the trustworthy that person I can trust with

[25:27]my business so she called him Monday says to him you know

[25:32]you're a good kid we really love you you're part of our

[25:34]family and you you know you you proven yourself to be a

[25:38]very successful businessman have a take care of my business for me

[25:42]the prophet said sure he took her business he went all the

[25:47]way to Syria from Mecca to Syria he traded her her goods

[25:49]and he brought tenfolds the profit for her he wasn't just a

[25:56]trademan he was a very very smart trade person that he could

[25:59]multip apply the prophets for her and he continued that business until

[26:01]he was 40 which is when he got the rec the message

[26:05]now obviously with the message there are certain requirements that need to

[26:09]be met now if the prophet sallallahu alaihi maintained that business mind

[26:12]mindset people will say to him like you know what you're you're

[26:17]a fign prophet so so he had to put that aside to

[26:20]pursue another job but he emphasiz on all his companions that they

[26:25]should go into trade they should all be workers he does not

[26:31]want anyone that just sitting home doing nothing now you we all

[26:34]know the story that the prophet sallallahu alai one day he was

[26:39]sitting on the member he was lecturing a farmer comes into the

[26:42]Masid right farmer dirty his hand are dirty his hand are rigid

[26:49]and and the prophet comes down from the M goes that to

[26:51]the man and he kisses his hand which is like you know

[26:55]the prophet sallallahu alaih kissing a hand of fmer people what's going

[26:58]on he said this hand Allah loves because it's a working hand

[27:01]so the prophet sallallahu alaih he emphasized on all of his his

[27:07]people to work so all the companions if you look in the

[27:10]history all of them they were rich like even the first and

[27:15]seconda they said they had so much gold they had to break

[27:17]it with axes now I don't want to go into the details

[27:20]of how that money was it came to that Poss but nevertheless

[27:23]they were working so the prophet sallallah alai before the da before

[27:28]he was a very rich person and he was married to a

[27:33]very extremely rich person too that is something that no one can

[27:35]deny Khadijah was the richest woman and he was rich too because

[27:41]he was a businessman so why who says we don't have Islamic

[27:45]figures now if we go to obviously there's more they were Rich

[27:50]they were Rich see I this is sometimes like people don't act

[27:56]don't ask so when people come to Hassan right for example and

[27:59]we you look at the history of IM Hassan it says Hassan

[28:03]he divided his wealth few times between him and Allah and there

[28:06]were few times that he gave everything for the sake of Allah

[28:10]and sometimes a person comes to him and he would give him

[28:12]like hundreds and thousands of sheep and camels these are massive numbers

[28:16]right when the IM gives so much oh IM Hussein someone comes

[28:21]to him and he gives him like a thousand sheep or he

[28:22]gives him 10,000 Dinars which is like $10,000 an hour if we

[28:27]have to put it in different currency you might ask a question

[28:31]where did the MMA get that from what because he has like

[28:36]Harry Potter WS like hus Pocus and he turns turns uh what

[28:38]stones into gold or Allah sends him in in his bank account

[28:45]his special Imam bank account and the IM go people nonsense the

[28:49]they were super rich they were very very rich what was their

[28:53]businesses so all the IMs begin with so we said the prophet

[29:01]s Al wasam himself he was a merchant right yes he was

[29:04]a he was a farmer he walks into he was doing agriculture

[29:10]right and on top of that he used to dig Wells so

[29:11]because Allah subh gave him best him the the power he was

[29:16]like muscly I mean when he was extremely muscly that his shoulder

[29:19]and his shoulder and his forearm were just one muscle That's How

[29:23]Strong he was so he used to dig Wells and once he

[29:27]digs Wells he he grows everything around it and then he will

[29:29]sell that and every time eats a date you know that uh

[29:34]what do you call it that uh not of the date itself

[29:38]he would keep it in the bag he would always have a

[29:42]bag and he would put all the uh the seeds in the

[29:44]bag and people what's this he says to him this is a

[29:47]thousand trees that's what he says to them and he would go

[29:51]to the S he would go to the to the uh desert

[29:54]and he would plant them all and they grow and they become

[29:57]like small small babies and he would sell the babies baby trees

[30:03]to other Farmers so they can grow he was he was the

[30:05]first to do this kind of business right to to create like

[30:09]small trees like when they're young and he sells them off and

[30:12]he grew over 10,000 of these trees and he used to to

[30:17]make money and the money that he makes this is this is

[30:19]what we said that the hunger that we're talking about not a

[30:23]single day of his life he would he would he would be

[30:25]sitting doing nothing so even people used to come to say oh

[30:29]where's Ali like oh you find him in the farm you find

[30:33]him in the farm he was a working man he comes back

[30:37]home tired he eats his food he does his to Allah he

[30:38]Wes up the second day he does the same thing again until

[30:42]he became he became Theif obviously then his Jud have changed a

[30:45]little bit but before that he was extremely wealthy that's why he

[30:50]paid he freed thousands and thousands of slaves how does he free

[30:54]them by going to people saying oh free him no he would

[30:58]pay people off and he would free them same thing withus he

[31:02]wasn't to he had uh beside the fact what their father left

[31:05]for them which is their inheritance of the alga culture also they

[31:11]were into uh animal farming like whether it's sheep uh cows oxes

[31:16]AR camels and they had thousands of them outside the city of

[31:20]Medina and so all the imams without exception the question is that

[31:27]why this aspect of Islam was not broadcasted wasn't uh why why

[31:35]we Muslims never heard of these stories like it's just like we

[31:39]were just uh been given this aspect of imams and the prophets

[31:45]being poor being poor they were just looking after uh their spir

[31:50]spiritual aspect of of their lives and we never heard of the

[31:57]the businesses that they had we never heard of this money uh

[32:00]the amount of money that they had and we never asked about

[32:06]it which is wrong yeah obviously but we were never uh taught

[32:09]about this yeah why is that so there's two reasons for that

[32:15]right uh first reason is the enemy now the enemy is too

[32:17]smart Okay the enemy one of the ways the enemy could make

[32:22]you weaker is by by keeping you poor and this is globally

[32:24]now even now doesn't they don't have to be a Muslim like

[32:29]with other countries superpowers the more nations are in need of them

[32:32]they get to make the money they don't want you making the

[32:34]money the minute that you make that money you become a adversary

[32:39]to them right you become an enemy to them so like now

[32:41]see what's happening with China Russia and America it's it's an economical

[32:44]War right of who has the most wealth now the enemy they

[32:50]said in order for us to keep the Muslims weak submissive in

[32:54]need of us we have to present them a version of ISL

[33:00]Islam that tells them you know what money is bad go to

[33:02]Allah pray worship cry read Quran money no don't go up money

[33:09]so this is the version that the enemy has tried to work

[33:12]on and to bring us Islam and they done that they worked

[33:16]that the minute the prophet sallallah alaihi wasallam was martyred the Jews

[33:20]came into play they took over and they tried to change this

[33:24]Islam into its a true form they gave us another version of

[33:30]Islam Islam does just deal with God leave this world if you

[33:33]do so you're going to be weak Allah subh says he says

[33:41]prepare as much as you can out of power and horses to

[33:46]uh to put the fear in the enemy now how are you

[33:51]going to have an army without money so when Allah asks me

[33:53]to prepare an Army on horses and this and that am I

[33:55]how am I supposed to do that with my hopes and dreams

[33:58]or was it with money obviously with money but that version of

[34:04]Islam the enemies worked so hard on it to keep me and

[34:06]you uh submissive to them so this way we are weak this

[34:11]way we cannot rise up is there any proof to what you're

[34:13]saying yeah just just with all due respect it sounds like a

[34:20]claim okay we need historical evidence to support what you just mentioned

[34:25]okay historical evidence let's go to the to the the the minute

[34:28]the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam died right when the prophet was um

[34:32]before he died Islam was strong the Muslims were strong right after

[34:38]the prophet sallallahu alaih wasallam died he had the first khif the

[34:42]second Khalif taking control of Islam now what the first khif and

[34:45]second Khalifa did they brought the rabbis to teach in in the

[34:48]mosques and they were preaching Islam through the Jewish narrative that's why

[34:55]we have so much narrations Jewish narration in our book books that's

[35:00]how Islam got distorted right so again this is another claim I

[35:03]need the reference no so okay so if you want to reference

[35:06]with me giving you books obviously we have to we have to

[35:08]dedicate so at the end of the video please provide some evidence

[35:12]yes surely surely so we right now we're just trying to touch

[35:15]the surface because obviously this conversation me and you having is not

[35:19]planned nor prepared therefore I have to give you all the sources

[35:22]but I'm giving you the claim inshah later on as we progress

[35:27]in this series I will give you precise uh sources so when

[35:31]the Jews came and Omar is historically stated anyone could Google it

[35:35]just so I wouldn't be making things up he used to have

[35:41]deliver lectures preach the Muslims at least twice a week right and

[35:46]their own Islam now the Muslims were in then it became personal

[35:49]Vandana and the Muslim they had what they call Islam Islamic openings

[35:53]where they went towards sham they went towards Africa they went towards

[36:00]India they even reached Spain and the um Europe yes conquer was

[36:04]it conquer conquest and Conquer why were they doing that they were

[36:07]trying to make as much money as possible now the thing is

[36:12]the people who were con conquering and if you look at the

[36:16]dynasties that followed the first which is Ben and B abas these

[36:19]guys historically speaking anyone could pick up a simple book or even

[36:25]go on Google the kings were super powerful super Rich right the

[36:31]masses were poor poor and the only way they can control the

[36:35]masses is by playing trick on their belief saying to them Allah

[36:40]loves the poor Allah loves who doesn't have anything Allah loves those

[36:44]who are Mystics Allah loves those and they seduce them and they

[36:47]suppress them so this is the first side yeah so I'm saying

[36:50]anyone so you ask me for reference I'm saying anyone could pick

[36:53]up any historical book or go online and uncheck every single one

[36:59]in power the dynasty the ab Dynasty and even the themselves look

[37:02]at how much we they had so then then we this is

[37:07]the idea is that those who were in power in the Islamic

[37:10]World they themselves who were in charge they were super rich but

[37:17]in order for them to keep people quiet they sold that nonsense

[37:19]to them is like Allah loves those who are poor and those

[37:24]who are weak because they do not want anyone competing with them

[37:26]so so one is the enemy worked hard enough to give us

[37:32]this version of Islam the second is us see the preachers and

[37:36]the uh the Muslim preachers around the world they also fail in

[37:41]that regard They Don't Preach to people the correct version of Islam

[37:45]I think if you remember when we started I said which version

[37:48]of Islam you listening to who's teaching you because if you look

[37:51]at all the Muslims around the world and all the preachers around

[37:55]the world they they still preaching that concept is to be poor

[37:58]Allah loves the poor Allah loves the poor yes in in stages

[38:02]or states where he has no other means he can't do nothing

[38:08]Allah says to him you know what this is this is your

[38:10]situation but Allah for example I'm capable I'm I'm perfect hit and

[38:16]fit and healthy and I can work and earn money but I

[38:19]say you know what Allah likes me poor Allah says no no

[38:23]no don't put words in my mouth I don't like you at

[38:25]all the says the say Allah loves a powerful strong woman strong

[38:32]powerful in his in his wealth not in his muscles right so

[38:35]we failed as preachers to preach to people that money is good

[38:39]money is required like I said the Quran says it's it's an

[38:45]essential for you it's good it's powerful it's required if you haven't

[38:49]got money you don't have anything how did the prophet fund all

[38:52]his Wars how did he fund them they with his own money

[38:57]with his own on money not just his money that so we

[39:01]we have a that says Islam was was was able to exist

[39:06]for three things one the Hadith from the prophet is the wealth

[39:12]of khad the sword of Ali and the of the Prophet that's

[39:16]how Islam existed you had the of the Prophet you had it

[39:21]needs also and religion needs a very strong arm which was a

[39:24]sword of Ali and you need to buy people off which is

[39:29]was the money of even Allah when he talks about and how

[39:32]you divide he says even he says there's a concept that we

[39:37]have in for those who are um enemies but they live with

[39:43]you so what you do is you pay them off as we

[39:45]call them off you pay them off just to keep them quiet

[39:50]so they don't cause trouble in your kingdom in your mam in

[39:54]your in your country so Allah took that into consideration so how

[39:58]are you going to keep this quiet if you don't pay them

[40:01]so again money is very fundamental in the Islamic uh Theology and

[40:06]the Islamic teachings is the problem is we as preachers we failed

[40:13]to bring bring that to the people and all we did is

[40:16]We inherited this version of Islam that looks at the prophet looks

[40:22]at the as people weak as just they only care about Allah

[40:25]as they just cry L and night and then that's all they

[40:29]care about and when we want to relate it to them that

[40:31]what that what that does it actually makes me weaker doesn't make

[40:37]me strong when I know my IM and my Prophet were poor

[40:39]what motivation do I have to become anything else I won't so

[40:46]the enemy won you know what I mean yeah so rather actually

[40:48]was on the contrary if we look at the businesses had or

[40:54]all the had imar for example he was in the house arrest

[40:59]was under house arrest they were in under house arrest even the

[41:05]fact they were under house arrest they want to farming they didn't

[41:09]stop oh and the house what am I going to do I'm

[41:13]just going to sit here and wa wait for a hand out

[41:15]from from the government as we call them in other countries like

[41:20]the Social Security payments Allah says no you're you're missing the point

[41:26]work IM he used to give PE his money to people say

[41:29]oh you're going into business to Africa has my money invested for

[41:32]me they used to invest their money Investments right so theate and

[41:41]the Islamic theology the Islamic teaching emphasizes on money and making money

[41:47]but like I said two things happen one is our enemy kind

[41:50]of diverted the Islamic teachings and second we as a preachers we

[41:54]failed thank you very much I think um to me it was

[42:01]a very um changing perspective on the money issue thank you pleasure

[42:05]and um I think we should call it a day for now

[42:10]and for the next episode we're going to explore other aspects of

[42:16]Islamic finances specifically regulations and some misunderstandings just like what we had

[42:21]today yeah so we can discuss how we can earn money so

[42:25]it becomes a Halal money yeah because even if we have the

[42:31]good intention of of earning money for the sake of Allah and

[42:35]spending it on the right path we need to be very careful

[42:37]about how we are earning that money yes and we have to

[42:43]earn a Halal away in a very um Islamic way absolutely so

[42:49]we need to explore that topic but I think it was a

[42:51]very lovely chat with you for today it was lovely being with

[42:55]you thank you very much I hope the viewers also enjoyed and

[42:58]and it had this um I hope it has this impact on

[43:04]every Muslim who watch this video so we can we can understand

[43:08]the true version of what Islam wants from us so this is

[43:14]very important sometimes we just feel stuck with the things hurt from

[43:18]from time to time because we as normal people never had the

[43:22]chance and the ability to go explore to go and explore what

[43:27]Islam actually teaches us yeah so what we learned was basically from

[43:33]uh different speeches and and people comenting and explaining the the different

[43:40]Hadith and verses of the Quran so this is very um interesting

[43:44]so if we just understand what actually Islam wants from us yeah

[43:48]and becoming deep in in in in the um in in how

[43:56]to become a true Muslim yeah from the business uh perspective from

[44:00]different uh uh personal life challenges that we have which Islam in

[44:08]finance is definitely one of the most important ones and inah in

[44:11]the next episodes we're going to cover other topics insh thank you

[44:14]hope to see you soon inshah looking forward to seeing you soon

[44:18]inshallah thank you very much have a good day my pleasure you

[44:21]too
