Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Cost of Living Crisis

To help them find solutions for financial stability.

Likewise, it's not just for that, but it's

for personal needs.

If someone is experiencing difficulty in providing for

their family, it's got nothing to...

I mean, it's gonna have something to do

with your job, but it could be, you

might be self-employed.

You might be trying to do your own

little, you know, halal side hustle or something.

And it's just providing difficulty.

It's just, I think Razaq, Ya Razaq, Ya

Razaq, Ya Razaq, is something that I think

a lot of people need to be doing

today because a lot of people are struggling

with the way inflation is going, the way

things have become so much more expensive in

the last five years.

I don't know where things are going.

This modern economical system does not work.

The way it's trained to be, the way

it's designed to be, is that your thousand

pound from two years ago, what you could

have bought two years ago with your a

thousand pound two years ago in your bank,

you couldn't buy that last year.

And this year, it's worth even less than

that.

So, it's designed to, if you save any

money, it's actually designed to just, because of

inflation and other things, it's designed to become

more devalued.

And everybody's stuck in that system.

Pretty much everybody's stuck in that system.

Except the few people who buy gold and

crypto coin, I mean, Bitcoin and so on.

Bitcoin is actually trying to go against that.

Bitcoin is trying to stabilize that.

I know it's had lots of fluctuation because

of its initial introduction in the market and

so on.

But otherwise, Bitcoin is an antithesis to that

because it's limited.

Governments can't produce, or nobody can produce more

of Bitcoin except the limited amount that they

have designed.

Whereas governments can produce more money, there's more

money in the market.

Because there's more money in the market, people

can buy more.

So, people have to produce more and then

the supply just increases and prices increase.

So, a lot of people are finding a

lot of difficulty.

Holding two jobs, there's people crying even with

two jobs, husband and wife both working.

Of course, some of it is to do

with lifestyle decisions.

What the way they've chosen to live, what

kind of furniture they've chosen to have, what

kind of gadgets they think they need, what

kind of holidays they have to take.

So, one has to be very careful.

So, personal needs, Ya Razzaq, we need Ya

Razzaq.

We need Ya Razzaq, Ya Razzaq.

The point of a lecture is to encourage

people to act, to get further, an inspiration,

an encouragement, persuasion.

The next step is to actually start learning

seriously, to read books, to take on a

subject of Islam and to understand all the

subjects of Islam at least at their basic

level so that we can become more aware

of what our deen wants from us.

And that's why we started Rayyan courses so

that you can actually take organized lectures on

demand whenever you have free time.

Especially, for example, the Islamic Essentials course that

we have on there, the Islamic Essentials Certificate

which you take 20 short modules.

And at the end of that, Inshallah, you

will have gotten the basics of most of

the most important topics in Islam and you'll

feel a lot more confident.

You don't have to leave lectures behind.

You can continue to listen to lectures but

you need to have this more sustained study

as well.
