We must circulate the money by rotating it whatever amount we have, instead of having desires to earn more:

Today's learning:


**Money controlling efforts:* 


 *Introduction:* 

Islam has always reminded us to address the human problems by continuously checking and balancing the wealth, instead of remaining in the hands of few.So, the method of rotation must keep going on, in order to allow the free flow of money between all the people. No matter what, ultimately even after our great efforts to hoard it, one day or the other it's going to leave us eventually.


 *Hard earned money:*


Islam says that hard earned money's value is more loved by Allah subhanahu wa taala as was earned by Prophet Dawood (peace be upon him).Allah made the iron smooth for him to turn it into different shapes and make it a useful commodity/good.


Once Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) was asked about the best job, and he replied by saying.

"A job that is done by one's own hand,and every decent trade.

Hadith Imam Ahmed (16628).


 *Methods of utilising:*

One could spent the legal (halal) money in different ways.

1.Could be used for his house hold and personal expenditure.

2.Could be used to help poor and the needy.

3.Could be used in construction of masjids(mosques) and hospitals.

4.Could be used for cleanliness and maintenance purpose of streets, localities, and districts so as to be a part of the country's economic development.

5.Must be used for paying Zakat tax of 2.5 percent as ordained by the Qur'an.If this is used properly according to the Quranic injunctions then most of the problems could be coped.

6.Could be used for the development of schools and educational institutions and organisations.

7.Spending in the cause of good and welfare activities.

8.Could be used in the way of Allah.(fee sabeelillah).


 *Hoarding:* 

Islam has always discouraged the hoarding of money.One could use this money for the best causes that would actually be deposited in the bank of aakhira (doomsday).


 Rasoolallah's words on the person who hoards the money and always tries to earn it without attention to the spiritual consciousness and hereafter.


Prophet Muhammad said

 رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم تَعِسَ عَبْدُ الدِّينَارِ وَالدِّرْهَمِ وَالْقَطِيفَةِ وَالْخَمِيصَةِ إِنْ أُعْطِيَ رَضِيَ وَإِنْ لَمْ يُعْطَ لَمْ يَرْضَ


 “Wretched is the slave of gold, silver, fine clothes, and garments. If he is given he is pleased, but if he is not given he is displeased.”


Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 6071.


 *Summary:* People are pleased by Allah when they are given money and are displeased when they are not given.So these people are actually money worshippers (Abd ud Dinaar and Abd ud Dirham) even if they keep their names Abd ullah and Abd ur Rahmaan.They are actually slaves of dinar(gold) and slaves of dirham(silver) rather than slaves of Allah.


 *Heed:* We must circulate the money by rotating it whatever amount we have, instead of having desires to earn more.


 *Pollution:* 

Islam forbids all kinds of pollutions.A muslim must take care of his duties towards his nation and humanity.One could manage all the major and minor things connected or concerned with one's daily life like keeping the streets clean and tidy, respecting the rights of neighbours, removing or troubleshooting the problems that arise due to our negligence.Rasooloullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said that a person is the dweller hell with whom his neighbour  gets troubled or faces difficulty and problems.


 *Judicature (Adliya):* 

Islam emphasises and lays down rules and regulations of justice in all forms and all walks of life.We must take extra care especially in the educational institutions and school organisations to practice justice or else we end up in the breakage of these blessed organisations and institutions.


May Allah give us all the correct understanding of Islam.Ameen.


May Allah make us practically implement all the best practices for the betterment of community and humanity.Ameen ya Rabb ul Aalameen.

 - (external source) 🌷 *Whatever Allaah does......it's for our best*🌷 When my daughter was 2 years old, she loved to play with the water in the toilet bowl.  Yes, that's right.... *the toilet bowl!!* Yuck!!  That's nasty...you would say!!  But to *her*, that was the *delight of the day!*  Splish...splash!  To her innocent mind, there was nothing like it!  And so when I would prevent her from playing with it, she would scream and cry and wouldn't want to stop.  She didn't understand how harmful that was for her.  In her little brain, I took away something that she really enjoyed.   And when I would take her to the doctor to have her immunization shots, she wouldn't understand that either.  She would *howl* at the top of her lungs at the first sight of the needle and would run the other way.  It would take two of us just to hold her down!  To her, it was nothing but *torture*!  Her innocent little mind...

A believer's story of a Quarintine:

Assalamu Alaikum  Alhamdhulillah ... By the grace of Almighty Allah, I reached home yesterday by the Delhi... Trivandrum special train.  And now I'm under home quarantine for two weeks in the upper flat of our residence. My children and grandchildren are all away, so strict quarantine is made easy.  I request you all to make Dhua for ease.    We started for Nizaamudheen on the 11th of February, from Kollam ( Ab. Kareem Sb of Poredam, Thaha Sr of Pattazy and myself ), to spend two months in Nizaamudheen Markaz for Thartheeb. But eventually, as you know, things took a different course.  Insha Allah, it will be exactly 4 months on 11th June, when we finish the ongoing quarantine.     We were put in forced quarantine for 58 days in 4 different quarantine camps in Delhi without periodic tests. The entire Ramadhaan and Edul Fithr was spent in the camps. We had the unique distinction of having total vegitarian food for a full Ramadhaan and even on t...

Why Pork (pig meat) is Haram in Islam? Some scientific observations:

Why Pork is Haram in Islam ~ In the Qur'an Allah has forbidden pork. Do you know that pork is forbidden by Jews, and its forbidden in Bible too. 15 Things You Should Know About Pigs: 1) A pig is a real garbage gut. It will eat anything including urine, excrement, dirt, decaying animal flesh, maggots, or decaying vegetables. They will even eat the cancerous growths off other pigs or animals. 2) The meat and fat of a pig absorbs toxins like a sponge. Their meat can be 30 times more toxic than beef or venison. 3) When eating beef or venison, it takes 8 to 9 hours to digest the meat so what little toxins are in the meat are slowly put into our system and can be filtered by the liver. But when pork is eaten, it takes only 4 hours to digest the meat. We thus get a much higher level of toxins within a shorter time. 4) Unlike other mammals, a pig does not sweat or perspire. Perspiration is a means by which toxins are removed from the body. Since a pig does not sweat, the toxins re...

Quran Juz 4 – Lan Tanalu - Summary

 - Quran Juz 4 – Lan Tanalu Summary Join Us: https://chat.whatsapp.com/EwGX2NFn95O2Bo92HkyyiI • It has been made clear that the intention behind spending and sacrificing in the Way of Allah should be to attain the pleasure of Allah. Since Allah knows what’s hidden in our hearts, it’s vain to show-off. • Beloved Prophet Muhammed ﷺ used to consume camel’s milk and flesh. The Jews said that it has been prohibited in the Abrahamic religions. Though Prophet Muhammed ﷺ did not learn to read and write formally & traditionally, he ﷺ challenged them to bring Torah and prove the same if they were true. They couldn’t. • Sayyiduna Yaqoob (alaihissalam) himself forbade from consuming camel’s milk and flesh, and that wasn’t a prohibition from Allah. Just like Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (ra) self-prohibited honey consumption, keeping in view the poverty of the then Muslims. • Verses 95 to 97 talk about the Hajj obligation on those who can afford.  • Allah states that Kaba in Ma...

His role as a teacher extends far beyond the boundaries of religion, and his teachings serve as a timeless source of wisdom and guidance for people of all backgrounds and beliefs. *The Role of Prophet Muhammad as a Teacher Moral and Ethical Guidance:*   Prophet Muhammad’s teachings are characterized by a strong emphasis on moral and ethical values.

Eid al-Adha Mubarak:

 - Eid al-Adha  teaches us lessons of devotion and sacrifice. The obedience to Allah, the sacrifice, and the selfless loyalty of  Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), peace be upon him, and Prophet Ismail (Ishmael), peace be upon him,  were so beloved by Allah, the Lord of all creation, that He decreed them to be observed by believers until the Day of Judgment.
