The Shocking Truth About Rizq Most Muslims Don’t Know! 0:00

This is everything. You have to

0:02

understand how to develop the

0:03

relationship with other than Allah.

0:05

There there’s a way there’s a way to

0:07

deal with these things and we have to

0:08

understand them. So the first thing is

0:09

we have to sever our attachment the

0:12

heart’s attachment to to creation. Okay.

0:15

So now if we develop conviction on

0:18

Allah’s name there’s one name that if

0:21

you develop conviction on this name then

0:23

you bring conviction on all of Allah’s

0:26

names. What is it? Alad literally the

0:29

one who is able to the all powerful

0:33

there’s nothing he cannot do Allah

0:35

subhana wa ta’ala is a version in the

0:37

context of the sentence you want

0:42

Allah is able to do everything nothing

0:45

limits Allah subhana wa ta’ala why

0:48

because if you bring conviction that

0:50

nothing limits Allah then you can he is

0:54

with all his other names take any name

0:58

[Music]

1:02

nothing limits him. Okay. So we have to

1:04

develop conviction on the name

1:07

conviction that Allah is truly so that

1:10

we bring conviction automatically on all

1:13

other names cuz if he’s then he’s to do

1:15

all these other things all of the 99

1:17

names of Allah but it’s not enough.

1:19

there’s one more name and you’ve got to

1:21

add this name to the mix. And if you

1:23

don’t add this name to the mix, then you

1:25

you have a shortcoming. Why? Because

1:27

most people tell yeah Allah is but

1:31

the minute you say Allah can but it

1:33

destroys what you just said. It erases

1:36

the sentence before it. There is no buts

1:38

or ifs. Allah can. Period. But most

1:41

people say yeah Allah brother is the but

1:44

I have to have money. Allah is the one

1:46

who provides but I have to have my shop.

1:48

I have to start my business. So we think

1:50

Allah can create but he needs the means

1:54

to create. Allah can provide but he is

1:57

in need of something. And imagine the

2:00

insanity of this idea that all of these

2:03

means that he’s created. Yeah Allah can

2:06

provide for me brother but I have to get

2:08

an education. Okay there we don’t have

2:09

an issue with education but I have an

2:12

issue with you believing

2:15

Allah have God consciousness and Allah

2:16

will teach you directly. Allah doesn’t

2:18

need an education to teach you.

2:23

[Music]

2:28

There’s no bizarre. She didn’t go on to

2:30

amazon.com. She didn’t pull out a credit

2:33

card. She didn’t open an Uber app for

2:36

delivery of this the food.

2:40

Allah gives to whom he wills as much as

2:42

he wants. So, okay. So, most people this

2:45

is the issue. They believe Allah is in

2:48

need of something else in order to take

2:51

care of their needs. The one that

2:53

created your need and created all the

2:56

means and created you needs these things

2:59

that weren’t didn’t even exist before he

3:02

created them. It’s insane to even think

3:04

that. But this is the majority of the of

3:08

the majority of the um today. Most

3:09

people tell you, “Yes, brother. Of

3:11

course, Allah, but I have to work.” And

3:13

I tell you, this is where you need the

3:14

second name. What is the name of Allah?

3:17

That basically means Allah is in no need

3:19

of anything or anyone and everything and

3:22

everyone is in need of Allah.

3:25

Exactly. Because means

3:29

he’s one. Allah all of creation, all of

3:33

the created realm is in need of him. But

3:35

he is in need of nothing, in need of

3:38

nobody. He can give you without means

3:41

because he’s the one who created means.

3:42

He doesn’t need a job. He doesn’t need

3:44

medicine to cure you. This is how you

3:46

term it exactly. Allah is the provider

3:48

to provide for me. He doesn’t need any

3:50

of his creation and he’s the Allah is

3:53

the the benefit and Allah subhanaa tala

3:56

doesn’t need any of his creation to

3:58

benefit me and he’s the sad. Allah

4:00

subhanana wa ta’ala is the one that

4:02

gives harm and he doesn’t need any of

4:03

his creation to give harm and he’s the

4:05

sad. This is how you term it. This is

4:08

how you word it. We say Allah can

4:09

resolve all my problems and doesn’t need

4:12

any of his creation and he is the

4:16

[Music]

4:19

Allah says do I turn to other than Allah

4:22

as my and he’s the rub of everything how

4:25

is this possible it’s insanity literally

4:28

Allah can and can’t now we understand oh

4:31

so Allah subhanana wa ta’ala he’s

4:35

so he can do anything and he doesn’t

4:37

need any of his creation to do anything.

4:39

He doesn’t need any of these means. No,

4:41

he doesn’t. Okay, but now what? Now,

4:43

brother, you’ve left us hanging because

4:45

if Allah subhana t the and you’re

4:47

telling me he doesn’t need any of his

4:49

creation. So, what do I do now? If Allah

4:51

can and the created cannot, then you

4:54

leave me hanging in the middle. What do

4:56

I do now? I understand Allah’s and I

4:59

understand that he doesn’t need any of

5:00

his means. But what’s the next move?

5:03

Now, you have to explain to people. You

5:05

have to bring it in yourself first. But

5:07

now you have to teach people how to take

5:10

from Allah. You want Allah to be with

5:12

you and you want to take from the

5:13

treasures of Allah because he doesn’t

5:15

need he doesn’t need the means. So how

5:18

what is the process to take from Allah

5:20

subhana wa ta’ala? We say you need im

5:23

and in order to take from Allah he’s and

5:26

he’s a he can do anything. He doesn’t

5:29

need anyone or anything and I’m in the

5:31

middle. Now I want to take from this who

5:33

doesn’t need creation. How? Teach me

5:35

how.

5:41

You want to take from the treasures of

5:43

Allah, you need and you want Allah to be

5:46

with you. And and what is the opposite

5:49

of and

5:52

memorize this? The way of is attachment

5:56

to it. And the way of is and why is the

5:59

Quran all about

6:07

is righteous deeds is acting responding

6:09

appropriately to every situation based

6:12

on

6:13

so you have to have and you have to have

6:16

you want that nearness to Allah subhana

6:18

t is near to everybody but you’re veiled

6:20

the heart is filled with images of and

6:23

the created realm so you have to sever

6:25

sever all the one at a time from your

6:27

heart you want Allah with you you want

6:29

success and a

6:32

[Music]

6:36

Ya,

6:37

[Music]

6:42

then we’re going to give him a good

6:43

life. So it’s all about im and what’s

6:46

the opposite of im and mul and mal. So

6:50

if you read the Quran the people that

6:52

were not successful were the ones

6:54

attached and think that money will solve

6:56

my problems. Dominion will solve my

6:58

problems. Status will solve my problems.

7:01

Let me go live in Dubai so I can make

7:03

the big big bucks and then if I have

7:04

money I can solve all my problems,

7:07

fulfill all my needs, fulfill all my

7:09

desires, then I’ll be happy. Allah can

7:11

give you happiness and Allah can fulfill

7:13

your needs without things and Allah can

7:15

give you things without money and Allah

7:17

can give you money without jobs and

7:19

Allah can give you jobs without an

7:21

education and Allah can teach you

7:22

without schools. This is it because Shan

7:25

he fooled us into believing that we need

7:28

means we need asbab I have to have means

7:30

in this world to fulfill my needs. So we

7:33

strip the means naked with our words. I

7:36

want you to rip like strip it naked.

7:39

When you grab the means, means cannot

7:41

do. The means is has no power, has

7:45

nothing. Allah is the doer.

7:49

But ya Allah, if you’re the why did you

7:52

create the means? Valid question. If you

7:54

are the one able to do everything, why

7:56

did you create the means? Why this

7:58

confusion? You’re the one doing

8:00

everything. So why Allah did you create

8:02

the means? Allah only created the means

8:05

to test us. Beautiful.

8:16

Allah says that we created this the

8:18

worldly means all of this that you see

8:20

to test you who is best amongst you in

8:22

deeds. One person has a million listen

8:25

carefully. One person has a million

8:28

dollars but not a single one of those

8:31

dollars is in his or her heart. You have

8:33

a million dollars but not a single

8:36

dollar is in your heart then you have

8:38

passed. One person doesn’t have a single

8:42

dollar but in his heart he says if I had

8:45

money all my problems would be solved. O

8:47

shik failed the test. See the

8:49

difference? This point is very

8:50

important. A person has a a billion

8:52

dollars in the bank account, doesn’t

8:54

have a single one of those dollars in

8:56

his heart, he’s successful, says, “I

8:58

don’t need it. I have it, but Allah, so

9:00

he’s the provider.” And another person

9:01

doesn’t have a single penny to their

9:03

name. But in their heart, they’re like,

9:04

“If only I had money, all these problems

9:07

I have will be solved.” She

9:10

smells of We don’t have animosity

9:14

towards the worldly means. Listen

9:17

carefully. We don’t have enmity with

9:20

esbab but we learn why Allah created

9:23

them and we understand why Allah created

9:26

them. He has a he has laws. He put those

9:30

orders in the worldly means. Okay.

9:32

Marriage there are commands. Business

9:35

there’s commands. Money there’s

9:37

commands. Food. Water commands.

9:42

Eat. Drink. Don’t be extravagant. Not so

9:44

you rely on the means. Not so you think

9:46

the means can do most people’s like yeah

9:48

brother of course yeah Allah is there

9:50

and yeah I have to work and I have to do

9:52

this just filled with shik in the heart

9:54

we don’t leave means and I’m going to

9:57

say this clearly because when people

9:58

hear they get very excited oh man yes

10:01

Allah is the doer he’s he doesn’t need

10:04

he doesn’t need yes but we don’t leave

10:06

asb we don’t leave the means nor do we

10:10

call towards leaving the means you never

10:12

in your talk say we should leave the

10:14

means Allah is the the one doing. Yes,

10:16

Allah is the one doing, but don’t call

10:18

towards leaving the means because they

10:20

there’s a reason behind the creation of

10:22

the means. The essence of iman is to

10:24

negate it, not leave it. And the essence

10:26

of Islam is to spend it. You can do good

10:29

things with money. The giving hand which

10:31

is the upper hand is better and more

10:33

beloved to Allah than the receiving

10:34

hand. So Allah put his in these. You

10:38

turn your back to Allah’s means. How are

10:40

you going to fulfill his commands? But

10:42

the heart should be attached to the mus

10:44

not to the sab always. Okay, brothers,

10:47

how do we deal with the asbab, the

10:49

worldly means? There’s three laws, three

10:51

things you have to do because we’re all

10:54

dealing with worldly means. So, how do

10:56

you deal what’s what what is my role

10:58

with these means? How do I deal with

11:00

Allah’s means? There’s three conditions.

11:03

Condition number one, we’re not attached

11:05

to the means. Meaning, you have no y on

11:08

the means. They’re dead. They’re just

11:09

formed. Allah subhana wa ta’ala he’s the

11:11

one doing everything. No attachment

11:13

meaning no conviction on the means.

11:15

Conviction that what? That the means can

11:17

benefit you or harm you in any way. Now

11:19

Allah does through means without means

11:21

and against means. But doing through the

11:23

means doesn’t mean that the means is

11:25

doing anything. He’s doing and veiling

11:27

his activity through the means. Number

11:29

two, we don’t break any of Allah’s

11:32

commands in the means.

11:34

The honest and trustworthy. He doesn’t

11:37

cheat you. The businessman that is

11:40

honest to you and that you can trust

11:42

will be resurrected with the prophets.

11:44

Shows you that it’s not an easy thing to

11:46

do. Most people are cheating in their

11:48

business. Most people are getting paid

11:50

on the side. This is why the highest

11:52

form of struggling jihad is to say the

11:54

truth in front of an unjust ruler. Most

11:57

people don’t have what it takes. So you

11:59

memorize this. Success is not in

12:02

business. Oh, he runs a successful

12:04

business. No, he doesn’t. No, he

12:06

doesn’t. He’s breaking Allah’s commands

12:08

in the sab. In order to run a successful

12:10

business, you have to fulfill God’s

12:12

commands in the means. Success is not in

12:14

your business. It’s in fulfilling the

12:17

command of Allah in the business. If you

12:19

get this kalas, you’re done. There was a

12:21

sahhabi. He opened a business because he

12:23

heard the prophetam say something to the

12:25

effect that if you’re easygoing in your

12:27

dealings that um there’s a special house

12:30

for you built in paradise for doing

12:32

that. So the sahabi goes opens the

12:34

business and someone buys something from

12:35

him and then comes to return it. So he

12:37

accepts the return even though he didn’t

12:39

have to. And that was easy dealing in

12:41

business. The next day that sahabi came

12:43

he found that the other sahhabi had shut

12:45

down the business. He says maybe he got

12:46

upset that I returned it returned that

12:48

item. So he went to him. He said why did

12:50

you close it down? He said I heard this

12:52

hadith ofasoolah.

12:54

So I opened the business just to fulfill

12:56

this hadith. What the flip man? Like

12:58

where are we and where are the sahaba?

13:01

They go into business to manifest one of

13:04

Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam’s hadith or

13:06

to manifest a command of Allah. We go

13:08

into business to make money. You’re of

13:10

money, a slave of money. They’re going

13:12

into business for the commands of Allah.

13:14

So, they’re slaves to the commander. The

13:16

commander commanded, but you’re

13:18

following money and you’re breaking

13:20

Allah’s commands in the process. On top

13:22

of that, number three, and most people

13:25

fall prey to this one. Most people,

13:27

especially some of the most pious

13:30

people, they drop the ball on this one.

13:32

What is number three? When the means

13:34

come with Allah’s commands, we give

13:37

precedence to Allah’s command and delay

13:39

the means. When the means come with

13:42

Allah’s commands, we give precedence to

13:44

Allah’s command and delay the means.

13:47

Someone comes, this is a very deep

13:49

analogy, listen carefully. He comes, a

13:51

father comes to his son, son, stay in

13:53

the shop today. So the son stays in the

13:54

shop. A day passes, someone visits him

13:57

and tells him, “Um, your dad’s in the

13:59

hospital. You should go see him.” He

14:00

said, “No, no, my dad told me to stay in

14:02

the shop.” So, he stays in the shop.

14:04

This next day, his dad’s condition is

14:06

getting worse. Your dad’s getting really

14:08

sick. He wants you to go see him. He

14:09

says, “No, no, but he told me to stay in

14:11

the shop, so I’m staying in the shop.”

14:12

His condition gets really bad. He’s

14:14

calling you. The same person that told

14:16

you to stay in the shop is telling you

14:17

to now come. Listen carefully. He’s

14:19

telling you, “Come.” He says, “No, no,

14:21

no, no. He told me.” The father dies and

14:23

he doesn’t even get to see his father.

14:27

The same one that is saying

14:30

is saying listen everyone’s like Allah

14:33

commanded me to work and take the means.

14:36

Yes. But the same one that commanded you

14:38

to work and take the means and said

14:41

is now saying what?

14:44

Go out in the path of Allah. My shops in

14:48

Tabuk. The Sahabah wanted to delay

14:50

because the trees bore the fruits. It

14:52

beared the fruits. So we’ll just get the

14:54

fruits and go. No. The one that told you

14:58

the one that told you is telling you

15:02

and the same Allah that is that told you

15:04

just take it easy. I’m the don’t worry.

15:08

Go utilize the means. This is the world

15:10

of means. Then you’re attached to the

15:12

means and you break Allah’s commands in

15:14

the means and you’re sitting in a shop

15:16

selling alcohol and you say I have to

15:18

work. This is even like a next level.

15:21

Your whole job is haram. You can’t even

15:23

do it. No, my job is Allah.

15:26

How is it a Ibadah.
