Hasib Noor – Quranic Reflections #25 Wealth is a test

			So we're going to the 100. Last time also allow Sahar is very
		

			welcome ready to Illuminations, Quranic reflections from the Halloween
		

			day 25 We look behind, we're covering Day 25 Today inshallah and that is that I wanted to discuss is
a very interesting and beautiful idea.
		

			In surah Shula or Allah subhanaw taala speaks about, if he were to give wealth to everyone, what
would happen? And how would humanity deal with the test of wealth? This is a very powerful ayah in
the Quran, which speaks to how human beings cannot handle having massive amounts of wealth. And
Allah Subhan Allah says what oh Busselton Allah who risk Carly arriba de la battlefield OB one I can
unit zero because they're in Maya. In a movie everybody hobby room Basu, Allah says had ALLAH given
expansive amount of wealth to all of his servants. They would have certainly transgressed through
the land, but He sends down whatever He wills, imperfect measure.
		

			He is truly all aware, all seeing of a service. And Allah says club Ilan Busey
		

			club is severe.
		

			By the knee yet, severe by the knee yet, meaning a last point that is well aware of our intentions.
So Allah subhanaw taala is well aware of our intentions, bossy, he's all seeing of our actions. So
Allah subhanaw taala
		

			teaches us that if you were to give wealth to every human being, in reality, what it would do is
cause corruption in the land. And human beings, if they were to be given everyone wealthy, it would
actually be for the worse of humanity, it wouldn't be for the best of humanity, it would actually
cause a lot of oppression to be committed. And if you see what what's going on today, look at what
one person with the amount of wealth that he has in this world did, he was given $46 billion to buy
Twitter, you know who I'm talking about the richest man in the world right now. And if you were to
use that wealth,
		

			9 billion or 6 billion can actually eradicate
		

			the hunger in the world, but rather, he wants to use $46 billion in order to, in essence, show off
in order to be known that you have $46 billion to throw around. So Allah subhanaw taala, in fact,
says, If you were to just make everybody wealthy, this is the kind of oppression that we would
commit. Instead of using that money, to help people, you're using that money to become known amongst
people. It's a very powerful ayah, that spoke out to me about the use of wealth, and that wealth is
a test. And that's why the Prophet Muhammad, so I sent him and he said, You will be asked on the Day
of Judgment, where did you
		

			earn your wealth? And where did you spend it? And how did you nourish yourself when it was it was
with halal or not? So imagine that these are three ways you're going to be asked about on the day of
judgement about just the kind of wealth that you have. And we ask Allah to make the wealth that we
earn with halal, and the wealth, the wealth that we spend with halal, and the wealth that we nourish
our bodies with Hello, I want you all to understand how important this is you just can't disregard
it. And that's why knowing and having wealth is a huge test. And that's why I lost planet when he
speaks about the notion of being tested on the day of judgment. And you will be asked about on the
		

			Day of Judgment, the Prophet Muhammad sigh selama said that be those who are essentially, less well
off, will enter paradise first. You know why, among the reasons is because those who are wealthy and
they have money, they will be asked about every single cent where they spent it. So enhance the
people with more wealth have more to be questioned about. And this is a very, very, very powerful
sentiment for us to just understand that this is not just a half hazard thing, that when we have
wealth, we must understand that it's got to be used in the correct con and in the correct way in the
current context. So this is an idea that God spoke to me in reality, so to show has a lot of ayat
		

			that one can reflect over, but the concept of wealth because everybody's seeking so much wealth. In
fact, it was a funny meme I saw on social media.
		

			And they said that a spouse wants five things from their spouse. Okay. They mentioned a particular
gender. I'm not going to mention it
		

			And the first three of them was money.
		

			Money, in essence, they were saying is what
		

			will make people happy. But money in and of itself doesn't buy happiness How many people who are
wealthy they're not happy. In fact, ALLAH SubhanA even says in this particular
		

			sewer, how that wealth in essence, can be, become a source of your corruption can become a source of
misery. How many people think that because they have wealth they feel entitled. So in essence, we
have to consider that wealth is a test both in our character in our personality and also a test of
how we use that wealth, inshallah Tada. So, I hope that this has been beneficial to you all. This
is, the last contestant had Allah subhanaw taala given expansively wealth until all of his creations
all of his servants were wealthy, they would have corrupted the earth now last night that make us
have those that use our wealth for the benefit of humanity, for the benefit of Islam, for the
		

			benefit of of Muslims, and Inshallah, make it something that will be a witness for us, not against
us and Allah is so gentle, allow our wealth to become a source of light for us on the Day of
Judgment. That's the last five minutes of lessons in these last few days. So really strive. These
are the last few moments that I'm alone we still have time. 100 and the Elijah bless and accept from
everyone. And this is your brother Hasini Charles signing off from Macau leave you off with a little
bit of a view of my culture for what there is, so we'll see y'all inshallah later.
