I finally know what a Scimitar is. I thought it was a made up word.
I thought it was a turkish name
He it is Who sends blessings on you, as do His angels, that He may bring you out from the depths of Darkness into Light: and He is Full of Mercy to the Believers. [Quran {33:43}] www.QuranicAudio.com www.Quran.com
I finally know what a Scimitar is. I thought it was a made up word.
Its an infamous sword that is made by countries from Arabia all the way to India and every country in between them. Its a fine blade perfect for beheading kafirs or scaring your sister out your room. But most importantly its works good when you want to cut long hairs .
Lol, the average home price in my neighbourhood is 1.4million and that's for an old house. A nice, decent one is 2.5million.. . 1 million would pay for a 2 bedroom apartment with view, hurray!
Probably, a few seconds after taking a 1 million dollar check, I'll have a heart attack and die of happiness.
Nah, I'm just kidding. I'll do like all the bros and sis above : help family and poor muslims, and keep a small amount just to not be in need of people's help.
money is nothing. I'm serious.
a short funny story i once heard.
a very very poor man once won a very large sum of money, into the hundreds of millions.
when those giving away the price found out who won, they decided perhaps it would be better
if they hired a psychologist to tell him in a safe matter that he has won such a huge sum of money.
so the doctor went out and after he found the man started by asking him;
"What would you do if you won hundreds of millions of dollars?"
the poor man started laughing and said don't be silly, that is unrealistic. the psychologist insisted.
so the poor man finally said, "If I win that amount of money, first thing i would do is; that i would
give half of everything i won to the first person that brings me the news!"
guess you can imagine what happened to the doc.
I will not feel any pleasure getting money without any hardship and I am not too ambitious to have more money...
But If I will get
I will do countless umrah ,Hajj.
1. Buy a big house for my mum, so we can stay with her now and then. Some gold bangles for her and a little car so I'm not housebound as much.
2. Help poorer relatives
3. Help friends pay off their debts
4. sponsor orphans/widows/charity
5. buy as much land as possible and implement shariah in it
6. build mosques, water wells, horse riding and archery clubs
7. take all my relatives and friends to perform hajj together
8. move to madinah and live happily ever after
Hopefully I would give the whole lot away to a poor community; where Christians and Muslims are living in conflict with each other.
I would give half the money to the Christians in that community; on condition that they spent the whole lot helping their Muslim neighbours in their community.
I would give the other half to the Muslim community; on condition that they spent the whole lot helping their Christian neighbours.
In the spirit of striiving towards a greater interfaith tolerance and understanding,

You will never look into the eyes of anyone who does not matter to God.
I would:
* pay off debt
* give some to my parents (both sides)
* invest in property and shares
* do Hajj with my immediate family
* provide food, shelter and basic necessities to developing areas of countries in Asia, Africa, South America and fly out there every month and oversee it myself, set it up and hire trustworthy, honest, decent people to oversee the whole procedures.
Insha'Allaah, may all our wishes, hopes, desires be granted and that we may all use our gains for the right reasons
فَبِأَيِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ "Then which of the favours of Your Lord will ye deny?"
Al-Qur'aan; Surah Ar-Rahman
A million dollars won't cleanse your heart of sin and vice, anybody ever think of that? The best and most valued things are those that money can't buy.
The Messenger said: "two hungry wolves let loose among sheep are not more harmful than a person craving after wealth..." (nasaa'i and Ahmed)
And verily for everything that a slave loses there is a substitute, but the one who loses Allah will never find anything to replace Him.” [Related by Ibn al-Qayyim in ad-Dâ' wad-Dawâ Fasl 49]

Yep, yep, yep. Agreed, 100%.
Hmmm...
Yep, thought about it and still am and will do in the future.
And actually, the money I earn now should be sufficient enough for me to work towards my goals. It will be possible if I budget and start the plans now, and make Du'a to Allaah, and in time, I will have my hopes fulfilled as they always are. Praise be to the Almighty.
Jazak'Allah Khair for that, Brother 'Abd-al Latif. Glad to be back on Earth

The best charity is that which is concealed. Sufyaan at-thawry (r) wouldn't consider any of his deeds done in the open of any worth or value. Not to mention open charity can have an element of showing off .

First thing me think me do be give two rakah salah and pray to Allah to protect me from the fitna that this very large amount of money could bring in my life...
...and then I'd take a nice holiday to escape from the stress

Masha Allah, absolutely true brother. That can be arranged insha Allah. The hard part is getting the 1 million lol.

You can get more reward from the intention than sometimes the act itself. If this is your genuine and sincere intent but you have no means to do it, Allah will still reward you.
