00:06:53 --> 00:07:01
			that the longest verse in the Quran, an entire page long deals with this concept of deaths.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:17
			Out of the Quran they have done luckily for Jamila and the way that the Quran speaks about this
topic and the way that the prophets Allah, Allah wa sallam taught is just so unbelievably beautiful.
say number one.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:30
			For the commoners, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam tells us that the state of being in debt
is not something that is desired. Can you call it an empty?
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			Fill Joomla a Democrat.
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:49
			Generally speaking, the idea of being in the state of debts is disliked. And to the best of your
ability, you should avoid it. Minnesota and yet agenda the agenda.
		
00:07:50 --> 00:08:07
			Now they speak today, the average American has over four credit cards, the average American owes
over $7,000 on their credit cards. average American is unable to pay their credit cards on time.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:16
			The average credit card debts in the US is over $900 billion dollars.
		
00:08:18 --> 00:09:09
			Talking about large numbers of money. So in Islam, we are asked that if you are able to avoid being
in that state avoided in an anti shady, they'll go with you unless you find that the circumstances
are pushing you and many times we understand that people are pushed into taking a loan or using
their credit cards or what have you. So we're not talking about people who have been pushed into
this by necessity or going through rough times we're talking about in average, in general, believers
ought to avoid being in the state of depths. And that's why they say that the most impressive
dignity, the most impressive sense of independence is the ability to live within your means. Lida,

00:09:11 --> 00:09:14

00:09:15 --> 00:09:22
			That is why it's been quoted, the less you borrow, the freer you are.
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:29
			And by the way, we're not even talking about interest based loans.
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:39
			In principle, this is haram. As unacceptable, that is forbidden. You're believers don't don't deal
like this.
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:57
			Not only that, but the more you look into this institution of deaths, especially interest based
deaths, it is so bad that nowadays people refer to it as credit card slavery, or it is a new form of
slavery.
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			Think about it.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:19
			A person who has the money and they just lend their money. They don't need to produce anything. They
don't need to manufacture anything. They don't need to do anything but give their money fully
knowing that their money is going to come. And it's going to come in multiple forms. Give you a
quick example.
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:35
			A country like Uganda, and they use this country to illustrate how bad that is. A country like
Uganda pays the equivalent of $2 a month per citizen spent on the health care system in that
country.
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:50
			The country of Uganda pays the equivalent of $11 a month per citizen to cover the debts, the
interest and the service on the debts of that country. organda is never coming out of poverty.
		
00:10:52 --> 00:11:03
			They will never come out of poverty, because the system is set up in such a way that they will
forever be enslaved for the debts that they have taken.
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:05
			So in our deen
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:16
			we avoid this. How much should you avoid it? Joe? Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa salam ala Rasulillah
dalcolle A Shaheed you're
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:42
			a man comes to the Prophet of Allah and said prophet of Allah, is it true that you have taught a
person who dies as a martyr? They just gave up their lives to please Allah subhanho wa Taala did you
say that Allah forgives all of their sins? And the prophets Allah Allahu alayhi wa sallam says yes,
for that act, Allah forgives all their sins. The man starts walking away.
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:51
			The cannabis Absalom urgent. Man starts walking away the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says,
Come back, come back and says
		
00:11:52 --> 00:12:04
			what is it that you've said he said is a true prophet of Allah that a martyr is forgiven everything.
You will finally show you the color shade for cotton abuse Allahu alayhi wa sallam, Nam Illa de
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:25
			Na, l Ella Dane. So that point the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam said yes. Allah forgives the
martyr all their sins, except of deaths. ALLAH does not forgive that. You take it, you borrow it,
you must give it back.
		
00:12:27 --> 00:13:08
			The sad part is not in. It's not in people having debts. Please remember the point here is not to
crush our spirits. The point is to remind each other that as believers we have an obligation to
actually live within our means and to be in the state of debt. Debt Free. Is that desired state?
That that is where we want to be. And in case that we do this, Islam says pay it back. Give it back.
You take it from a brother, a sister, a Muslim and non Muslim you borrow. You give it you give it
back?

			known then the Quran and Islam teach us that, that the contract of having debts is one of
benevolence meaning that it is an act to relieve a person of a temporary burden that they're going
through. And as a result, only one side benefits from this at least in this world. Only one side
ought to benefit recording.

00:14:09 --> 00:14:57
			Somebody gets arrested for whatever reason. Sometimes people are just you know placed in a hole or
you bail yourself out. Some people don't and you end up being charged an exuberant amount just to
get out of jail so that you can fight the charges that are against you. Heather McLean and Nabi.

prowl. I mean, our deen is so beautiful. So on the one hand, it tells us that it is always best to
stay away from death. On the other hand, it tells those who are able to help others to help them
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			so much so
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:33
			The Rizal Allahu alayhi wa sallam Jacobi can of humankind of Kabbalah come rajulio, new Tanager he
said in previous nations, they lived a man. And he would send out his workers here as a vehicle man,
he, they are called to do you and your stuff would do you, he would send his workers to collect, you
know, the, the credit, you know, collect, collect the money. And he would tell his little man, the
people that worked for me, say, in Ghana, in Ghana, my children, the teacher was the Allaha teacher
was.
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:48
			And he would send his workers and say, when you go out there is immature that if people are unable
to pay, say, overlook it, in the hopes that Allah overlooks our mistakes, and outfalls.
		
00:15:50 --> 00:16:03
			That's beautiful, nice way of balancing things, don't get into it, if you can help it. And on the
other hand, for those who are able, do not burden people because of the state that they are in.
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:26
			And then the study continues on to look into, why are people the way that they are? Why are people
just you know, charging the money. You know, subhanAllah when you look into the history of credit
cards, and how they came, they say that the biggest enemy of credit cards, was the preacher at the
church.
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:32
			Their biggest enemy, was the preacher at the church.
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:44
			Why is that? Because the preacher would always quote Jesus peace be upon him. And they would say, He
who goes a bottle goes a surah
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:52
			that would teach that to people. So those who were practicing Christians, they would never borrow
money.
		
00:16:53 --> 00:17:05
			And that was something that was taught at the church. And when credit cards came out, they say,
well, our biggest problem obstacle is going to be the church. How do we deal with that?
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:14
			This is not something that Muslims invented. This has always been the teachings of the prophets that
Allah subhanho wa Taala has sent.
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:29
			There is no financial responsibility Gelish on Kulu, Mustafa Staro, there is no sense of delayed
gratification, unable to practice self control, you want it,
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:31
			you get it.
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:52
			That is not a healthy lifestyle. You want it, you work for it. You want it, you save for it. You
want it, make sure that you can afford it, but to live a lifestyle that we cannot afford. That is
madness.
		
00:17:53 --> 00:18:10
			And I think that in the past, I have shared with you a beautiful definition of what a credit card
is. A credit card is a tool by which we buy things we don't need. With money we don't have at a
price we can afford to impress people we don't even like
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:21
			that is not a way to live. That is not a way to live. CoolerMaster hide staright
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:25
			every time you desire something, you go on, you buy it.
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:32
			You do this, eventually you lose your independence.
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:34
			It gets uglier
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:39
			when people are exploited because of bad credit.
		
00:18:40 --> 00:19:21
			You know how when you drive around, there is the payday loans. Payday loans are all over the place,
especially in poor neighborhoods. You see a lot of payday loans. You don't find it in rich
neighborhoods, but they're always in poor neighborhoods. average credit card is anywhere between 19
to 25%. That is how much APR annual percentage rate they charge. Allah He was my own eyes. I go
there because I really wanted to see well. How does this work? Written in a big board? What APR do
these places charge of the poor?
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:26
			466.87%
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:44
			that is the APR that these places charge. How does it work? You write them a check for $300 and they
give you $255 for 15 days. They're charging you $45 for 15 days on a loan of $255.
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:49
			You do the math that comes to about 466%.
		
00:19:50 --> 00:20:00
			Allah does not approve of this transaction, not an ugly transaction. That's a transaction that is
taking advantage of somebody
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:13
			Who is in the state of need? The sad part is sometimes we're not even in the state of need. But we
do this simply because we just every time we desire something, we end up buying it.
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:37
			So please let's learn self control, delayed gratification. And then the last thing pass on these
principles to our youngsters. You know, the idea of live within your means Subhan Allah is the man
Allah. Ah, you go Ill bent hum when Miriam with den hum what you can do wrong.
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:52
			Ill Ben tombolo candidate Meriam with then hum while they're home, he says you know, a parent is
always anxious and worried about their daughter, even if it was Marian.
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:59
			And deaths are such a burden, even if it was just a single silver coin.
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:01
			That is what people were taught.
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:38
			Always the idea of if you want it save for it, if you want to make sure that you can afford it, and
and so on. So we want to revive we want to revive these teachings. And as we see that people wake up
in 2023 and what is it that you want out of this? Man? I just want to get out of debts can barely
afford anything can barely not do this, I can barely not do that simply because I am overwhelmed by
debts. May Allah Subhana Allah relieve us of all of our burdens Europa Alameen Hola. Hola. Hi there.

they will only destroy it, Allah will see their own destruction.
		
00:22:35 --> 00:23:09
			So again, remember the point here is let's not get ourselves there. And if we do, let's be
responsible enough practicing enough that we get ourselves out out of this. Unless Lastly, let us
come to the help of one another. And also Hala they say that the reason why credit cards are so used
by people get elected and know Alberta, Alberta collect the money lead to algorithm insert, then
halogen HDMI,
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:41
			because the usage of a credit card does not embarrass a person socially. What is easier for me to
use my credit card or for me to come and ask have you and then chances are you may say yes. Or you
may say no. If you say no, I am very very embarrassed. If you say I feel very indebted. So now what
happens is people prefer to use a credit card. Because socially credit cards are not embarrassing.
		
00:23:42 --> 00:24:02
			And that is the number one reason why people no longer ask of each other. Because a credit card
saves me that embarrassment. It shouldn't be this way in our community. The Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam taught us in Allah if your only lab, Madame and Abdul
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:48
			Salam o Allah rasool Allah says Allah will always come to the support and aid of his servant, so
long that that servant is of support and help to other people in the community. Sometimes people can
say, all I need is just all I need the 700 Dots, I just need to fix my car, I need to get it going,
but I can't afford that. And the longer I don't have a card, the longer we sink into poverty. All I
need is just somebody to help me with this. But then, you know, we just don't really like to do
that. So inshallah let's develop this habit. Now I remember Subhan Allah, a brother would come in
