A man who was facing financial difficulty asked Sheikh Muhammad Saalih that he thinks his poor situation is because of Islam, he said he is living alone from past 12 years with no wife, no job and nothing to do.
Sheikh replied that in the world you can find people living in worst situation than you who are not Muslims, you can also find people who are going through more severe financial problems while they are not Muslims. It should make you realize that religion is not a financial matter and Islam never promises financial prosperity.
Financial prosperity and being rich can be a blessing or a test from Allah, it depends on the actions of the individual and how he earns and invests that money.
He asked why is it that when we are going through prosperity we think Allah has honoured us while when Allah tests us we say he has humiliated us.
“As for man, when his Lord tries him by giving him honour and gifts, then he says (puffed up): ‘My Lord has honoured me. But when He tries him, by straitening his means of life, he says: ‘My Lord has humiliated me!“ (Al-Fajr 15-16)
The sheikh asked the questioner to visit a hospital or any refugee camp so that he may realize how much better and in a good condition he is.
You should start connecting and investing your time with people who are connected with Allah, and then start trying to excel in your business or job while praying with Allah that he may make it a success.
