How To Build Money For Generations? ⏳

How To Build Wealth for Generations

If we as Muslims want to build wealth for the long term, for generations, to fund an ummah, to fund universities, to fund hospitals, that wealth comes through the compounding of skills — الحِرَف (al-hiraf).

Khatib al-Baghdadi, a hadith scholar, he understood this. Build a skill and through that skill you can add value, and where there's value, money will come — guaranteed.

You may be poor for some years while you're building the skill, but the moment you are a master, money will come because people will need you, and where there is need, there is money. It's a simple thing but it's really important to understand.

The Way of the Sahabah

The sahabah when they were trying to make money, they made money in ways which really added value to the lives of people — by trading goods that were needed by them, by providing services that were needed by them, by developing skills that were needed by people.

They stepped up, and through the value Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala provided for them. Focus on the skill, and being valuable, and developing, and working hard — Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will grant you the opportunities.

A Warning Against Impatience

So everyone who asked me about dropshipping, Amazon FBA, crypto — leave me alone from today please. From today I'll just say go watch the Furqan lecture, minute 52 to 55, take the principle, and just don't talk to me please. I'm tired of those questions.

Those questions, they uncover a generation that is impatient to earn money in a quick way, in a way that evaporates tomorrow. Today crypto exists, next day the whole coin doesn't exist. How many people lost billions and made billions overnight? These speculative, quick, fluctuating markets — this is not for us.

We should focus on building wealth in a way that sustains generations and builds an ummah.
