I agree that money isn't everything in life, far from it but only a fool would think money isn't important. Yes there are some terrible people in this world which make more money than I could ever dream of but they're the worst kind of people.
If you put in the effort and work hard we can all enjoy the fruits of life that Allah has provided for us. Go travelling, give good zakat, buy nice things and live an enjoyable life. Being a Muslim should not prevent us to want to enjoy life while we're here... and money helps us do that. Make all the dua you want but you ain't driving a ferrari unless you got the cash :shade:
Just as long as we remember not to make money the centre of our lives... because that is where things can go wrong.
This is the car someone I know has
458 italia?
Lol that surely can't be his daily driver though. Ferraris are usually reserved as track cars or secondary cars.
Money is important.
But we have to remember that our provision comes from Allah
Wealth is something that may be tested in life, as in sometimes we will have wealth and we must remember to be grateful to Allah for it.
And sometimes that wealth may be taken from us
as a test, and we must remember it is not the wealth that was important, as money is only a matter of this world, and still turn to Allah.
If we have the means to buy nice things, then by all means, there is nothing wrong in buying nice things. (Everyone likes nice clothes, nice homes, good food, and fast cars.)
But at the same time we should keep in mind, if I start spending more on myself, then it is best that I should also start spending more on the poor.
"The Prophet May Allah's peace and blessings be upon him said, “Eat, drink, dress and give charity, but without extravagance or arrogance.” (Sunan An-Nasaa’ee: 2559)
As the Qur’an states, “Say, ‘Who has forbidden the adornment of Allah, which He has brought forth for His servants and the good things, clean and pure, which Allah has provided for them?’ Say, ‘They are [lawful] for the believers in the present life but they shall be exclusively for them on the Day of Resurrection.’ Thus We explain Our signs for a people who understand.” (Soorat Al-A‛raaf, 7:32)"
