Understanding Rizq (Provision)

admin — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 23:41:32 +0000

Here are some thoughts about Rizq:

You don’t know how much Rizq you can get.
You can get a lot even when the economy is bad.
You can get nothing even when the economy is good.
You have to follow the Halal way to earn it.
After you earn it, you need to spend it in a Halal way.
You can’t hoard your Rizq for too long, because either you pay it out as Zakah or you leave it behind when you die.
So, the only way to enjoy and benefit from your Rizq is to spend it (in a Halal way) on yourself, family, charity, etc.

What’s your reflection about Rizq? Our team will keep posting more thoughts inshaAllah.

Work more – Buy more – Owe more (vicious cycle)

Baker and his wife decided to sell everything they owned, pay off their consumer debt, and spend a year traveling abroad as a family. Listen to his talk at Tedx.

Here is the quote that he mentioned:

“The reality of the society that we’re in, is that there are thousands and thousands of people out there, leading lives of quiet, screaming desperation, where they work long, hard hours at jobs they hate, to enable them to buy things they don’t need, to impress people they don’t like. And it’s my contention that going to work on a Friday in jeans and a t-shirt, isn’t really getting to the nub of the issue.” -Nigel Marsh
