Buy happiness
The extravagant are
brethren of the devils, and the devil is ever ungrateful to his Lord. al-Isra` 17:2
Charity brings peace
in life, A poor homeless person could only think of food. A middle-class a salaried person could only think of paying bills. A person with tones of extra
cash always thinks of getting a new gadget, expensive cars, and luxury furniture
and to get more wealth. Yes, you can find the stupid person who buys gadgets and
luxury stuff on the credit card. These are the people you think they are rich. (it
is different than being really rich.) The value of money does not depend on the
volume but the unfulfilled desires or need one has. do you know That the device you are reading
this book could worth months of basic supply for some?
Change your paradigm Next time when you are tempted to buy
new Smartphone, check the price of silver of the month you bought your last
expensive phone and check how much the silver price has been appreciated, compare
it to the price of your phone now or if you have settled with less expensive
car and invested the difference in silver bars how much you might have saved in
one year's time.
I am not suggesting
you to invest in silver or any such thing, I am only giving you a new perspective
to think about. There is nothing wrong with investing or saving money, on the
other hand earning Halal is a religious obligation. While your gadgets or
furniture will depreciate, your investment might earn you something. There is another better way; you can deposit
the money in BOA (Bank of Akhrat); by giving in charity of course. Even better,
invest in charity with compounding effect (Sadaqah Jariyah: ceaseless charity)
“When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah
Jariyah (ceaseless charity); a knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous
descendant who prays for him (for the deceased).” (Muslim)
Just remember this.
If you are worried or in pain, nothing can please you. Imagine if you have a severe
head ache and you are sitting in front of the most expensive home theater and
your favorite movie is playing, how much would you enjoy it?
