When you become truly rich how does the name of God Al-Ghani make you richer than the richest
1 A real scene an Indian young man in a credit bank Imagine this daily scene a man in his thirties standing in a long line in front of a bank holding a large file proof of income guarantees signatures endless papers all this to obtain an apartment or to start a project he exerts physical and psychological effort sometimes pays a bribe and humbles himself in front of an employee with limited authority the central question why do we submit to created beings and forget the true source of wealth 2 Seeking independence through God is not dependence on people There is a common mistake many think that reliance means sitting and waiting for provision to fall from the sky without work the truth in Islam reliance means working seriously and depending on God in the results a practical example an Indian young man wants to start a small project but hesitates because loans are expensive and opportunities are limited true reliance he plans works innovates and raises his hands to God false dependence he waits for a forbidden bank loan or the help of others and thinks that provision is limited to people this difference determines the mindset between poverty and richness through God 3 Psychological and social analysis what prevents us from richness Social classes in India create fear of initiative and risk whoever grew up in a lower class becomes used to dependency and this produces a poverty mindset waiting for orders and giving fear of risk Islam breaks this mindset it teaches that provision is in God’s hand alone and that initiative and effort with reliance are the path to true richness illness loss of job marriage costs children’s future all these create a mentality of hoarding and fear the believer knows that his provision is written and that what God has written for him will reach him at the right time continuous comparison with others creates a feeling of deficiency and makes a person chase money and status far from true richness many people worship the means instead of worshipping the Self-Sufficient God they focus on business companies banks opportunities and forget that God is the One who created all means and blessed them by His power 4 Practical steps to become rich through God Certainty that provision is in God’s hand ( And there is no creature on earth but that upon Allah is its provision, and He knows its place of dwelling and place of storage.
All is in a clear register.
) — Surah Hud 6 all creation has its provision no matter the economic conditions direct supplication to God the Prophet said if you ask ask God and if you seek help seek help from God if all people gathered to benefit you they would not benefit you except with what God has written for you the true believer uses times of response the last third of the night prostration between the call to prayer and the prayer work and effort true reliance means working with all your effort and leaving the result to God it does not mean sitting or laziness but combining effort with reliance living from a position of strength a person becomes rich through faith dignity and reliance not through arrogance or humiliation charity and giving (Say, "Indeed, my Lord extends provision for whom He wills of His servants and restricts [it] for him.
“And whatever strikes you of disaster – it is for what your hands have earned; but He pardons much.) — Surah Ash Shura 30 sins block blessings and seeking forgiveness opens doors gratitude and contentment ('If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]; ) — Surah Ibrahim 7 contentment brings peace certainty that God can change your life in a single moment God can transform your life open doors of provision and grant success after patience 5 Conclusion which heart do you choose Imagine that young man in the bank again are the treasures of provision in the hands of people or in the hand of God will you continue to humble yourself before people or turn to God do you fear for your children’s future while God created them and provides for them true richness is not in money but in certainty true poverty is not in wealth but in a heart that does not know God will you make your heart rich through God today
