Hosam Helal – Not Enough Money Ramadan Series Imam Abu Hanifa Ep. 10

			Bismillah Al Rahman Rahim Al hamdu
Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu
		

			salam ala Ashraful, mousseline and
Imam Abu Hanifa was sitting down.
		

			When a man approached him
complaining about his financial
		

			situation. He told the Imam, oh,
Imam, Abu Hanifa. I'm making $5
		

			him a month or a day. And it is it
is, you know, it's not enough for
		

			me, I'm financially unable to
maintain myself and my family. So
		

			the amount told him, go back to
your boss, and ask him to ask him
		

			to pay you four instead of five.
So the guy like, what are you? Are
		

			you serious? He's like, yes, go
ahead and do it. So he listened,
		

			he complied. And he went to his
boss, and he told him, I want to
		

			make for that I'll him instead of
five. So basically, I want you to
		

			take a little time away from the
amount that I'm receiving. So the
		

			boss the guy, of course, gladly
will do so. Then he came back to
		

			the mm, the worker and he said,
still, I'm not able to maintain
		

			myself financially. He told him go
back to your boss, and ask for
		

			another dyrham to be taken away.
So now you only taken three
		

			instead of five. So the surprise
to the surprise of the many
		

			sitting around, remember Hanifa.
The guy came back a while later
		

			and he said, Thank you Imam. Now
I'm able to have, you know,
		

			blessing in my money and I'm able
to meet my daily and my weekly and
		

			my monthly expenses. So everybody
was shocked. How was it that five
		

			was not enough, but three was
enough and more than enough, so
		

			the Imam Abu Hanifa sat and
explained to the people around
		

			him, he said, the halal haram
Jemele haram or Al halali, you
		

			Fira, the halal haram or Al
Khalifa bathala. This man was
		

			putting in the effort that
deserves three draw him. So
		

			whatever he was making, on top of
that was undeserved. And so he was
		

			not able to use it in a blizzard
way. But now that he put in more
		

			efforts and took less reward, V
was blessing and ALLAH blessed the
		

			money that he had. And so that
allowed him to financially meet
		

			all of his needs. Now,
interestingly, the poetic way of
		

			saying it is he collected the
Haram onto the halal to make more
		

			of it. But in reality, the Haram
entered the halal and made it
		

			scattered. Sometimes it's not
about making more money and asking
		

			for a raise sometimes is putting
in the effort and making sure
		

			you're getting that which you're
working for, that allows you to
		

			have Baraka in your wealth that
allows you to use your wealth in
		

			ways and it means that are
efficient. May Allah subhanaw
		

			taala allow this phenomenon to be
a way for us to rethink our
		

			financial worries and to rethink
the way we spend and the way we're
		

			earn money is May Allah keep our
money halal? Salam aleikum wa
		

			rahmatullah wa barakato and keep
smiling in Oman.
