			And on this note, I would like to say that this was the way of our predecessors they refuse to be
reliant upon anyone for their risk for their money for their daily bread, but Allah subhana wa,
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16
			they're human beings, like everyone else, they need an income,
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:56
			but their freedom to advocate the truth with with minimal pressure from a financer. That to them was
a greater requirement prophets of Allah why don't you send him said in a remarkable Hadith? He said
Mahakala I don't plan to hire on me and yeah, cool I mean anomaly Eddie he were in the nebula he
that would kinda Yeah, cool, curriculum anomaly, Yeti he, he said nobody has ever eaten a better
meal than the one that he has earned with the working of his own hands. He said and the Prophet of

			Which one reaps a salary for like any other job. And in many cases, this would subsequently be
