if u got 1 million dollar !!!!!!

[Muhaba]

Give half to charity
Get married and go for Hajj with my husband
Give some to my parents
Save the rest for my brother and sister

What about your children? don't you want to save some for them?

What are your thoughts when you see things like this?

I think it is a huge waste of money. personally i don't like diamonds and expensive gems because they are so costly. why spend that much on just a stone? what does one get by wearing them?

I think the person who commissioned it is simply trying to have his paradise in this world. Living in as much luxury as possible and trying to show off I guess. Selfish thing to do when millions upon millions can't find food.

I hope if I become rich inshaAllah, that I would be able to help the poor with a vast amount of the money.

It is also my belief that spending loads and loads going on nafil umrahs and hajjs would bring little reward when that money could have gone toward saving a poor person from hunger/death.

that is true. I feel the same way.

 

[Insecured soul]

let suppose if all of us got 1 million dollar.

u give me and il tell u what il do with it

 

[Woodrow]

Very few things in life could cause me greater sorrow. May my sins in life never be so great that Allaah(swt) would punish me with unearned wealth.

I would much prefer to find a way to live on a smaller income. I feel anything beyond my needs would destroy my ability to find joy in what I now have. If I am ever punished by sudden wealth I hope I find a worthwhile person or charity to give it to, before I spend even one penny of it.

Depends where it comes from. =/

Salam alaykum;

I many times hope I would have a million... then I could help more my friends in Gaza. When I hear about they problems in cause of bad economy situation because of siege, I feel sadness because of my poor salary (no it is not one million at month) that I can help just a little. imsad

I agree.
I once received very large amount of money from (inheritance) insurance and the money actually led me away from Allah SWT and into the path to hell. It's not an exaggeration, in any case it's an understatement.
Alhamdulillah it is all in the past now.

I see that lots of people put marriage among the things they would do if they got a million dollars. But why do you need so much money to get married? Has marriage become that expensive? In the past people got married even if they didn't have much money. & some people still do that. I have heard that in tajikistan, the women either don't ask for any mahr or if they do, then it's very little, like even just a pair of gold earrings, which just about anyone can afford. This ensures that everyone can get married and makes a healthy society. on the other hand, in those cultures where people ask for very high mahrs, few people are able to get married and many put off marriage till late in their lives. In such places, high mahrs have become a thing of honor and those women who don't ask for it are looked down at, as if they have no value. Although mahr is regarded by some women as a security against divorce and uncertainties, etc, but lack of money shouldn't be a hindrance to marriage. How did high mahrs get associated with respect and honor? Like stated in a hadith posted by someone, people should get married for their piety and righteousness and not for wealth, as Allah says in the Quraan in Surah Al-Nur:

Marry those among you who are single, and the virtuous ones among your slaves, male and female. If they are in poverty, Allah will give them means out of His Grace, for Allah is ample-giving, and He knows all things. (24:32)

That's the benchmark to measure if a person is stable to get married or not. [according to some ignorant people] I am not so stable so I wish I could get a million dollar.

What are the requirements set by the government of Tajikistan for 'A potential immigrant '?

Subhan Allah!

LOL . You could try looking for tajikistani sisters. you don't have to move there to find them. Maybe look for a tajikistani muslim organization or something?

A quick Google search rendered some beautiful Tajikistani Muslim girls.:embarrass Following that search I thought of moving there

 

[Muhaba]

Well if you're serious about marrying a tajikistani, then i think it won't be very difficult to move there since i think lots of countries will give you residence visa when you get married. However, contact the tajikistani embassy for more information.

 

[cuezed]

1. give some to charity
2. invest/begin a business for money to grow
3. move back home and chill

:salamext:

The pursuit of happiness and contentment is one that is independent of the pursuit of wealth. Wealth itself does not come with happiness and contentment. For indeed if that were true, then Qaroon [28:76-81] would have been the most successful of people in this regard. Yet Allah caused the earth to open up, swallowing both him and his possessions. [Shaykh Muhammad Al-Mukhtaar Al-Shinqitee]

What, instead, would you do to seek knowledge of Islam, a more realistic and beneficial approach in the affairs of life.

^ Leave it to brother Abd al Latif to create an awkward moment. Actually, when I saw he was the last poster on this thread, I was 95% sure this thread was closed. I'm surprised to see that I was wrong.

Only teasing.

But I agree. You know, in truth, you're all pumped up in the process of earnign the $1 million that once you have it... It not only leaves you faster than you can imagine, but you feel restless and bored. You'll only want another million.

And when you have plenty of something, you devalue it. Like running water. When I went to Australia for 9 months, the toilet bowl had less water in it. The faucet would only run at a certain speed, so not too much falls out at one time due to their water problem.

Whereas in the US where I live, we use water as if it were.. Well, water! We say things like "Girl, you're spending money as if it were water!" because we know water is so devalued. We take it for granted, yet those in Pakistan that are in the flood, don't have access to clean water.

Widowed Men in Sri Lanka are resortign to breastfeeding their own children because if they buy the formula for milk in the market, they know the water is unclean and unsafe for the child to drink.

No wait..

[serena77]

If i won a million dollars ( we are talking USD? ) .... I'd like to spend a couple of years ( at least ) in both pak and syria... pakistan because i have made a few friends online there and syria, well I read a book called on the bread of angels.... a girl won the fullbright and spent a year there. Oh wow... it was a wonderful book... to the point of being a wonderful experience reading it. After that, pay off the student loans i have, finish my degree, make sure my parents were at least well taken care of even if i wasn't around and then having a house in either syria or pak. and another in Ireland

There would be others amounts given to charity and an amount given to the university i attended. yes, i think i could do all o that in a million.. w/ some to spare for investments.

Personally, I don't care about the amount of mahr, but a good education and job I would or may consider.

 

[S_87]

would i have got the million through my own hard earned work or from doing nothing?

 

[tigerkhan]
