The believer the non believer, the pious, the non pious, everyone has access to wealth. But the favor of Allah subhanho wa Taala is that Allah subhanaw taala has given you piety and Allah subhanaw taala has given you wealth. So you're doing your personal EBA in terms of praying and fasting and vicar in reciting Quran and on top of that you're spending your money in the way of Allah subhanho wa taala. So that is the ideal case scenario. And that is why when you look at the likes of Abu Bakr Siddiq have the mind of an Alpha Man, I'm not a fan of the Allahu animoji Man in what do they have in common? What they have in common is not only the fact that these were amongst the richest of
people, not the richest of companions alone, but the richest of people at their time. But in fact, these are the same companions that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has promised paradise to during their lifetime, during their lifetime, because they were from the pious and used to spend in the way of Allah subhanaw taala. And what was their secret? Their secret, my dear brothers and sisters was that ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala would give them wealth in their hand. And they would never allow it to reach their heart, they will never allow it to reach their heart, it will come in their hand and they would spend and Allah would give them more and they would spend and this is the cycle.
And this we have so many beautiful stories that like so all of you are familiar with that Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Anhu in instances gave away all of his wealth, and when question what did you leave behind? I have left behind Allah Subhana Allah to Allah and his messenger sallallahu alayhi wa Sangha. So that is what we should be striving for to be pious God conscious Muslims with whom Allah subhanho wa Taala has blessed with wealth and we spend in the way of Allah subhanho wa Taala
