Abdul Wahab Saleem – Savings, Job Security, & The Sunnah

			There's no job security today. And even if there is it's very little when we compare it to job
security 30 4050 years ago,
		

			guys, men, you have to save you have to save you have to save. I cannot underscore this enough.
Every man who's got a responsibility, he's got a family, you've got to have some savings. The
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was a real man and he had savings. You can't keep relying on
your salary you cannot be paycheck to paycheck to paycheck, you need to ensure that some of your
money is going towards saving this is the profits and loss of limb Suna, this is in both body and
Muslim that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when he got the wealth from Benjamin Iliad,
after they were exiled, he basically took some of that, and then he saved it for a year or he spent
		

			it on his family for the year, meaning he kept it for the year. And similarly, whenever he would get
the harvest from the farmland that he had in his possession as well. So the longer it was him, he
would take the harvest, and then give to his family, the type of food they need for the complete
year, he would take the staple and save it away for the entire year so that there is not a single
day in which the family doesn't have food. Now, I already explained in a previous video that, that
the prophets of Allah said limit already acquired real estate for his family and he had real estate
other than the houses for his family members as well. So all he really had to do was give them food
		

			after that. So he's got savings for a complete year crops and staples that can people can eat off
of, and he has property as well. So he's got his finances completely figured out. I know life today
is not as simple as that, that you have a house and you have some food. And that's the end of that
now you're going to have bills, yes, in the past, maybe some of those bills weren't there. So today,
you're going to not just save staples, but you're going to ensure that the amount of money you need
to spend for one year in case you go out of work, you have it in your savings. This is the Sunnah of
the Prophet sallallahu sallam, and this is the manhood of the Prophet SLM. This is the ruler of the
		

			Prophet cylinder, manliness of the prophet SAW Selim taking responsibility for the people who are
under his care, you and I need to do the same thing. You have to make sure I have to make sure we
have enough savings for a rainy day. Because we don't know what's going to happen after COVID you
know that even the most resilient of people around you, they had to come down to their knees because
nobody was expecting the world and the entire economy of the globe is going to just come to a
screeching halt like this but it did. So we have to ensure that we have got some savings guys, this
is the son of the Prophet said lambda, the ruler of the past they knew this as well. Mmm Bahati is
		

			among those who are alumni he actually the same Hadeeth that I shared with you. He has a chapter
title and the fit of bodies in his chapter titles. He says Babel have seen FL Kata rajulio
fascinating chapter of of making sure that you've got staples for a complete year for your family
members. So you've got to make sure you have savings for a year. Maybe about your insurance. If you
have a car rent if you're paying rent even though it's better not to be paying rent but grant if
you're paying rent
		

			and also all the bills if you've got a hydro bill, electricity bill, if you've got a water bill,
whatever, internet bill all those bills, calculate them and try to get to a point where you have
savings for a year so in case something goes wrong on a rainy day, you go out of work, look under
law, you've got some savings, and you don't have to go and ask people for money I ask Allah subhana
wa tada to grant a set of future practice to converge as Akuma lokalen was salaam aleikum wa
rahmatullah wa barakato.
