"Give with kindness and secrecy and do not let anyone feel you are above them. The wealth you have is not even yours, do not think it is your wealth. In many verses in the Qur’an, you will find that Allah attributes this wealth to Himself, but then there are some verses where He attributes the wealth to us. There is no conflict – it is the wealth of Allah, but it is yours to be tested with. That is why it is yours – to be tested and nothing else. Do not be materialistic and say I am poor. Do not ever do that because you are a walking millionaire, even if you do not have a penny in your pocket or in your accounts. I read statistics where they said that a heart transplant costs more than a million dollars, a kidney transplant costs close to a million dollars, and an eye transplant costs nearly half a million dollars. Your ear and your hearing – a million. Your eye and your eyesight – a million. You are a walking billionaire.
I used to know a man many years ago – he was a multimillionaire and he had an accident. When he used the bathroom, they had this little plastic pouch on his side where the waste would go in and he has to empty it. He has to go to the bathroom and empty that pouch. They tried to do many operations, but they were all unsuccessful. He said Wallahi if I can give all my millions and borrow millions more equivalent to them to fix this, I would do it. What is he trying to do? Why is he willing to pay millions and borrow millions more? So he can sit on the toilet.
Do not look at your account for your measure and level of wealth, go look in the mirror – you are a walking billionaire. Wallahi, you are more than a multibillionaire just with Laa Ilaaha Illallah in your heart."
