00:00:07--> 00:00:10

Money in the Quran, SubhanAllah, you wonder that

00:00:10--> 00:00:12

Allah spoke about it, and the answer is

00:00:12--> 00:00:13

yes.

00:00:15--> 00:00:15

Money,

00:00:16--> 00:00:16

wealth,

00:00:17--> 00:00:19

and children, the beauty of this duniya.

00:00:20--> 00:00:21

And al Baqi'atosarihad,

00:00:23--> 00:00:24

what is

00:00:25--> 00:00:26

the the righteous deeds

00:00:27--> 00:00:30

that's gonna stay later on. Scholars talked about

00:00:30--> 00:00:32

it as it's probably

00:00:43--> 00:00:45

go to a portion of the Quran in

00:00:45--> 00:00:46

Surat Al Qasas where Allah

00:00:48--> 00:00:49

talk about money

00:00:49--> 00:00:52

and not about the money itself, but about

00:00:52--> 00:00:53

the wealthy people.

00:00:53--> 00:00:55

And how should wealthy people

00:00:55--> 00:00:56

do?

00:00:57--> 00:01:00

And how, how should they not do or

00:01:00--> 00:01:02

things they should not act? And he brought

00:01:03--> 00:01:04

the example of Qaroun.

00:01:07--> 00:01:08

Qaroun was from the people

00:01:09--> 00:01:09

of Musa.

00:01:11--> 00:01:14

He transgress against them. And Allahu can show

00:01:14--> 00:01:17

us exactly how he did. Why is that?

00:01:17--> 00:01:18

Well, Allah says,

00:01:23--> 00:01:26

We have gave him wealth and treasures.

00:01:27--> 00:01:30

The amount of it, Allah did not say

00:01:30--> 00:01:31

how much, but he gave us

00:01:32--> 00:01:34

any clue. The keys for the treasures,

00:01:35--> 00:01:35

just the

00:01:36--> 00:01:39

keys, would be very difficult for a group

00:01:39--> 00:01:42

of very strong men, Uli Locugwa,

00:01:42--> 00:01:43

to carry the keys.

00:01:44--> 00:01:45

So you can imagine

00:01:45--> 00:01:47

how much wealth he had.

00:01:48--> 00:01:48

Okay.

00:01:49--> 00:01:51

What's wrong with that? Some people are wealthy.

00:01:51--> 00:01:52

Now

00:01:55--> 00:01:55

His people

00:01:56--> 00:01:58

told him don't be too happy.

00:01:59--> 00:02:00

Don't be too arrogant.

00:02:02--> 00:02:05

Allah don't love those who are not exactly

00:02:06--> 00:02:06

happy, meaning

00:02:07--> 00:02:09

people feel good, but when they are happy

00:02:10--> 00:02:11

because of what they have

00:02:11--> 00:02:14

and they are arrogant, they are showing off.

00:02:14--> 00:02:16

They feel they are better than other people.

00:02:16--> 00:02:18

And now you say, well, Allah gave me

00:02:18--> 00:02:20

money. Shouldn't I spend it?

00:02:20--> 00:02:23

And Allah respond, He knows what we think.

00:02:26--> 00:02:27

The main

00:02:28--> 00:02:28

focus,

00:02:29--> 00:02:31

the main thing we should spend our money

00:02:31--> 00:02:33

is use it for your akhir.

00:02:34--> 00:02:35

Get yourself

00:02:35--> 00:02:37

in a much higher place in akhirah by

00:02:37--> 00:02:40

the money Allah give you. But that doesn't

00:02:40--> 00:02:42

mean I'm not gonna live my life.

00:02:44--> 00:02:46

Don't forget your share from this life.

00:02:47--> 00:02:48

Balance. This deen is balanced.

00:02:54--> 00:02:57

They are rewinding him. Do good. Be excellent.

00:02:57--> 00:02:59

Be kind in your

00:02:59--> 00:03:01

conduct. Just like how Allah was

00:03:02--> 00:03:05

kind and generous to you. They are reminding

00:03:05--> 00:03:07

him the money is not from you. Allah

00:03:07--> 00:03:07

gave it to you.

00:03:12--> 00:03:14

Do not use the wealth that Allah gave

00:03:14--> 00:03:16

you to spread mischief mischief on

00:03:17--> 00:03:18

this earth. Why?

00:03:20--> 00:03:22

Allah does not love those who spread corruption

00:03:22--> 00:03:22

and

00:03:23--> 00:03:23

mischief.

00:03:25--> 00:03:27

So basically they gave him an advice.

00:03:27--> 00:03:29

They didn't get anything out of it. They

00:03:29--> 00:03:32

didn't ask for anything, but just an advice.

00:03:32--> 00:03:33

Look at his

00:03:35--> 00:03:35

response.

00:03:37--> 00:03:37

I

00:03:39--> 00:03:41

deserve this because I did

00:03:42--> 00:03:44

it. I got it. I worked hard for

00:03:44--> 00:03:45

it. Allah said,

00:03:57--> 00:03:59

Allah now is responding

00:03:59--> 00:04:02

when he came out very arrogantly, says, I

00:04:02--> 00:04:05

did it. I worked very hard. I collected

00:04:05--> 00:04:07

all this. I was smart. I did this.

00:04:07--> 00:04:09

I did that. Allah responded,

00:04:10--> 00:04:12

reminding him, don't you remember?

00:04:12--> 00:04:13

Don't you know

00:04:14--> 00:04:16

that there were people before you,

00:04:16--> 00:04:19

nations before you, way more

00:04:20--> 00:04:22

strong than you are? They have way more

00:04:22--> 00:04:22

wealth,

00:04:24--> 00:04:26

way more wealth than you. Don't you remember

00:04:26--> 00:04:28

this? And Allah says

00:04:29--> 00:04:31

after they do the sins, they will not

00:04:31--> 00:04:32

have a second

00:04:33--> 00:04:34

chance.

00:04:35--> 00:04:35

Now,

00:04:36--> 00:04:38

with this advice, what did he do?

00:04:39--> 00:04:40

Nothing. Continued.

00:04:40--> 00:04:43

That's all lessons for us. Continued.

00:04:43--> 00:04:46

Money usually corrupts people,

00:04:47--> 00:04:48

except very few people. Fakharija'ala

00:04:50--> 00:04:50

called me

00:04:52--> 00:04:53

He came out,

00:04:54--> 00:04:54

walked

00:04:54--> 00:04:56

Allah didn't tell us how, but he came

00:04:57--> 00:04:59

out and his people were seeing him

00:05:00--> 00:05:01

with his entourage,

00:05:02--> 00:05:03

with his wealth.

00:05:04--> 00:05:05

Now people are seeing

00:05:07--> 00:05:07

him.

00:05:09--> 00:05:09

Those

00:05:10--> 00:05:13

who their focus is dunya said the following:

00:05:13--> 00:05:13

Wow.

00:05:19--> 00:05:21

Wow. We wish we have what

00:05:22--> 00:05:22

he has.

00:05:23--> 00:05:25

He is really lucky.

00:05:27--> 00:05:28

Those who have knowledge

00:05:28--> 00:05:30

says, woe on you.

00:05:37--> 00:05:38

People who have knowledge.

00:05:39--> 00:05:41

Look at the dialogue. So he's coming out

00:05:42--> 00:05:44

with his beauty, with all his wealth,

00:05:45--> 00:05:48

right, with showing his wealth. So the people

00:05:48--> 00:05:50

of Duny says, wow, he's really lucky. You

00:05:50--> 00:05:52

know, he has this car. He has this

00:05:52--> 00:05:55

house. She has this that jewelry. I wish

00:05:55--> 00:05:57

I had it. That's what they said. People

00:05:57--> 00:06:00

of knowledge, meaning people who their knowledge is

00:06:00--> 00:06:02

beneficial for them, that they see this is

00:06:02--> 00:06:03

temporary.

00:06:03--> 00:06:05

They see that this will not get them

00:06:05--> 00:06:08

to what Allah wants them to in akhirah.

00:06:08--> 00:06:11

Weigh like on you the rewards of Allah

00:06:11--> 00:06:14

way more than this material thing. And who's

00:06:14--> 00:06:16

going to get the reward of Allah? Believe

00:06:17--> 00:06:18

and

00:06:18--> 00:06:20

do a good deed. And he or she

00:06:20--> 00:06:22

needs to be patient. That's why he said.

00:06:27--> 00:06:28

The people

00:06:29--> 00:06:31

patient. Why patient in here? Patient is to

00:06:31--> 00:06:34

not to be lured by the dunya, not

00:06:34--> 00:06:36

to be corrupted by the wealth,

00:06:36--> 00:06:37

not to be jealous

00:06:38--> 00:06:40

in the negative way when you don't have

00:06:40--> 00:06:42

what other people have.

00:06:43--> 00:06:44

Now what happened?

00:06:44--> 00:06:45

He walked

00:06:46--> 00:06:46

arrogantly.

00:06:47--> 00:06:47

Immediately,

00:06:49--> 00:06:50

Allah sent the punishment.

00:06:54--> 00:06:57

We made the earth swallow him and his

00:06:57--> 00:06:57

house.

00:07:03--> 00:07:04

Nobody

00:07:04--> 00:07:06

came to his rescue.

00:07:09--> 00:07:12

Those who were so jealous and wanted what

00:07:12--> 00:07:12

he had,

00:07:17--> 00:07:20

saying, Woah. Looks like Allah is the one

00:07:20--> 00:07:24

who choose to give whoever he will from

00:07:24--> 00:07:25

his servants. Those

00:07:26--> 00:07:28

people who wanted what he had,

00:07:29--> 00:07:32

now they are saying, after seeing what happened

00:07:32--> 00:07:33

to him, wow,

00:07:33--> 00:07:36

looks like it's Allah's choice. He gives more

00:07:36--> 00:07:37

whom he wills,

00:07:37--> 00:07:39

or he holds

00:07:39--> 00:07:40

from he

00:07:40--> 00:07:43

wills. If it was not for the blessings

00:07:43--> 00:07:45

of Allah, we would have ended the same

00:07:45--> 00:07:46

way. He ended

00:07:49--> 00:07:50

Those who are

00:07:50--> 00:07:51

ungrateful,

00:07:52--> 00:07:53

they will never be successful.

00:07:54--> 00:07:57

What do we learn from this beautiful story

00:07:58--> 00:08:00

but full of

00:08:01--> 00:08:01

advices?

00:08:02--> 00:08:05

Money and wealth comes from Allah. Even if

00:08:05--> 00:08:06

we work very hard for it.

00:08:07--> 00:08:09

It's always from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Allah

00:08:09--> 00:08:12

put the burqa in my effort. Allah put

00:08:12--> 00:08:14

burqa in my planning. Allah put blessings

00:08:15--> 00:08:17

in my efforts and how I am doing

00:08:17--> 00:08:20

it. Number 1. Number 2, many people work

00:08:20--> 00:08:22

hard, as hard as I am or you,

00:08:22--> 00:08:23

but the mosque

00:08:24--> 00:08:26

by his wisdom doesn't give them.

00:08:28--> 00:08:29

He gives to whom he wills.

00:08:30--> 00:08:32

Now when I get it, when I have

00:08:32--> 00:08:34

it, that's the lesson here.

00:08:34--> 00:08:37

What should I do? I always connect.

00:08:38--> 00:08:40

I connect the blessing with the source

00:08:41--> 00:08:44

of the blessing or the one who gave

00:08:44--> 00:08:46

me the blessing. I need to use it

00:08:46--> 00:08:48

in the way that pleases him. I'm not

00:08:48--> 00:08:50

going to be arrogant. I am not going

00:08:50--> 00:08:52

to be showing off on people. I don't

00:08:52--> 00:08:54

think I'm better than others because I have

00:08:54--> 00:08:56

and they don't. No.

00:08:56--> 00:08:59

I need to use it for the sake

00:08:59--> 00:09:01

of Allah the way that pleases Allah,

00:09:01--> 00:09:03

but I should not not live

00:09:04--> 00:09:06

the way that pleases Allah. Also

00:09:08--> 00:09:08

meaning,

00:09:10--> 00:09:12

Use it for your dunya, but don't use

00:09:12--> 00:09:14

it in a way to look down at

00:09:14--> 00:09:15

people

00:09:15--> 00:09:17

or to disobey Allah

00:09:18--> 00:09:21

because the end, as he, Allah, showed us,

00:09:21--> 00:09:23

it's a very short story. He showed us

00:09:23--> 00:09:25

the end of it, and the punishment is

00:09:25--> 00:09:26

the same,

00:09:26--> 00:09:27

often

00:09:27--> 00:09:30

equal or parallel to the sin. He was

00:09:30--> 00:09:31

arrogant. Allah made the earth swallow him. And

00:09:31--> 00:09:32

anybody who is ungrateful, may Allah protect us

00:09:32--> 00:09:33

swallow him.

00:09:34--> 00:09:36

And anybody who is ungrateful, may Allah protect

00:09:36--> 00:09:39

us all, we have to be very careful

00:09:39--> 00:09:42

that we may be not exactly like Qaruna.

00:09:42--> 00:09:44

Maybe we have 1 or 2 of his

00:09:44--> 00:09:45

quality.

00:09:45--> 00:09:48

We need to ask Allah to protect us

00:09:48--> 00:09:50

when he gives us, and he did and

00:09:50--> 00:09:52

bestowed on us a lot of blessings, and

00:09:52--> 00:09:55

he did. That makes us always remember he

00:09:55--> 00:09:57

was the source. Make us a monk. The

00:09:57--> 00:09:58

grateful.

00:10:00--> 00:10:04

Very few of my servants are grateful. May

00:10:04--> 00:10:04

Allah

00:10:05--> 00:10:07

make us among the grateful.

00:10:05--> 00:10:07

make us among the grateful.
