Got Married At Age 18, Became A Father At 19

I got married at the age of 18. I became a father at the age of 19. I still remember when I got married, I was embarrassed about the money that was in my bank account.

I was praying my wife should not find out how much is in there — there's not very much in there. And I'm telling you as somebody who has been through this experience, knowing that Allah is wasi — He is limitless, He can give — does not mean that you can snore and the money will come to you. You have to work, but you have to trust that if you work, He will provide.

One of the things I'm grateful for that I have experienced with my own eyes, from my own experience — although I got married young — every time when I got married, Allah blessed me with a source of income where I didn't expect it. When I had my first child, Allah blessed me with a source of income where I didn't expect it.

When I had my second child, Allah blessed me with a source of income where I didn't expect it. Every single time I've seen it with my eyes. If you trust Allah and you take the leap, He will provide — but you have to graft as well.

You have to work for it. Allah's provision is not free. It's not for free. It's not majjani — it comes with work. But if you trust Him, He's going to surprise you.
