Ok, jazak Allah for that little insight of your compact life.
 
Asalamu alaikum

wealth aint everythin, usually it is the wealthy that are blind and the poor who are the wisest....the only time i would wish to be rich is only the time when Allah has guided me to help guide others and to be able to travel and spread Islam would be a dream of mine mashallah.

but other than that i would like to say:

“Through Allah’s eyes we are all created equal, what sets us apart are our hearts; Through Allah’s eyes we are all created equal, what sets us apart is our faith;
Through Allah’s eyes we are all created equal, what sets us apart is eachother;
We think about money as luxury, yet no amount of money can buy what Allah has provided for us for free. We think about being rich in the eyes of people, but never do we think of looking rich in the eyes of Allah; for Allah doesn’t care what is in our pockets he cares what is in our hearts; Through Allah’s eyes, the richest man is the one with the purest heart. Through Allah’s eyes we were all created equal, what sets us apart is Islam."-me

u gain more gifts through being poor than u do being rich
u are more observant, patient, and more aware of the world around u, etc.
when u are rich u are selfish, blind, and dont care about the world around u except that u are high in the eyes of society.

if you want to be heard, dont raise ur voice, raise your wisdom and intelligience, raise ur faith, because in the end thats all that will be heard...

fi aman allah
w'salaam

Sister Charisma, masha Allah! Let's take a look at the arragont Kharun as a example. Allah gave him so much, and look how he ended. May we all learn from this insha Allah.
 
Asalamualaikum wr wb,

Hassan Al-Basry said, "I saw those people and how they were more careful about their time than about their Dirhams and Dinars (i.e. their money)."

“Let the rich man spend according to his means, and the man whose resources are restricted, let him spend according to what Allaah has given him…”[al-Talaaq 65:7]

And give to the kindred his due and to the Miskîn (poor) and to the wayfarer. But spend not wastefully (your wealth) in the manner of a spendthrift* . [Tafsir. At-Tabarî, Vol. 10, Page 158 (Verse 9: 60)]. (Qur'an 17:26)

walaikum salaam wr wb.
 
one VERY VERY Far relative of mine won the lottery twice which was just over £5m .......but thank fully he lost the tickets both times ;D

but now MASHA'ALLAH he is practicing the deen :) :brother:
 
Erm, this thread seems to have gone on a rich vs poor tangent. Now, it is well and good for your spiritual state to be poor, but that doesn't mean we should be striving to be poor. How would we provide for our families? 'Oh here you go, I found this in the gutter. Eat up!'

I think it's okay to have wealth so long as it is used responsibly in an Islamically acceptable manner.

That said, gambling is wrong and it was the correct decision to refuse the money.

Ma sha Allah sister- to refuse that money- I'm so proud of you right now!!
:applaud: :) :sister:



From Umar ibn Al-Khattab from the Prophet (sas) who said:

"If only you relied on Allah a true reliance, He would provide sustenance for you just as He does the birds: They fly out in the morning empty and return in the afternoon with full stomachs."
Ahmad, An-Nasaa’I, Ibn Majah, Al-Hakim and At-Tirmidhi who said: "Hassan sahih



One other thought:

3:92 By no means shall ye attain righteousness unless ye give (freely) of that which ye love; and whatever ye give, of a truth Allah knoweth it well.


.......but thank fully he lost the tickets both times

^ I agree. Did anybody hear that saying from Ali radiya Allahoo Anhoo that a wealthier Muslim is more benefit to the society than a poorer one? I would look for it right now, but I gotta go!!

All this talk about it's "better to be rich than poor", is kinda related to - marxism
 
And Marxism is kinda related to - Communism.

And Communism is kinda related to - Lenin.

And Lenin is kinda related to - Stalin.

And Stalin kinda looks like - Saddam.

If you squint.
