			I want to share a story with you. I have observed management offices reporting in Sahih al Bukhari
that Abdullah reminded me of when he left Makkah and he migrated to Medina. He left everything
behind everything he owned, he left it behind. And when he arrived into Medina, the Prophet
salallahu Alaihe Salam paired them up with another companion by the name of Saudi Arabia, Saudi
Arabia, and I want you to look at the generosity of Saudi Arabia. He's never made up their mind even
before. The only thing he knows is that this man is Muslim and he loves Allah Subhana Allah and His
Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, what is Saudi Arabia tell him? He tells him, I have two
		
00:00:34 --> 00:01:13
			homes, choose any one of my two homes, and it's yours. I have two businesses choose any one of my
two businesses, and it's yours. Look at that generosity, Allahu Akbar. Now, can you imagine someone
offers you a home? Would you accept it? Someone offers you a business? Would you accept it? Well,
let's look at the mentality of Abdullah smadav. He says, Show me where the marketplace is, show me
where the marketplace is. And he goes and he starts trading from something as simple as dried
yogurt, till eventually he gets some gold. And with that gold he gets married. And with that after
his marriage, he has a Lima. So someone that started off poor but was willing to work hard, and
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:48
			Allah subhanaw taala provided for them. And this is the Prophetic mentality that you have to be
willing to work hard for your wealth, that the best wealth that you can earn is with your two own
two hands. And when you take that step and when you put your best foot forward, DEP sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam says that if you were to trust in Allah, a trust that he is truly deserving, he
would provide for you just like He provides for the bird that leaves its nest early in the morning
hungry and comes back at night with its stomach full. Allah subhanho wa Taala will provide for you
but you need to take that first step and work hard for that wealth.
