Q & A

What is the first cause mentioned that decreases risk, wealth, and quality of life?

The first cause is laziness and dependency. Being overly reliant on others without personal effort can lead to a decrease in one’s sustenance and overall quality of life.

How does extravagant spending negatively impact one’s wealth?

Extravagant spending is defined as spending beyond one’s means. It can lead to financial instability if a person spends excessively on things they can't afford, especially when done on unnecessary or prohibited items.

What does the speaker mean by 'extravagant spending is relative to your affordability'?

The speaker means that spending should be proportional to one's financial situation. What is considered extravagant for someone with limited means might not be extravagant for a wealthier person.

Why is spending on prohibited (Haram) things considered wasteful?

Spending on prohibited items is wasteful because it is contrary to ethical and religious guidelines, and it is seen as squandering resources in a way that doesn’t provide any lasting benefit.

Gratitude, including thanking others and acknowledging blessings, is essential for maintaining quality of life. Ingratitude is seen as a factor that can diminish one’s wealth and sustenance.

Relying on superstitions or delusional beliefs is said to detract from rational decision-making, potentially leading to poor financial choices and a decrease in overall mental well-being.

Zakat is important because it purifies wealth, particularly if one has inadvertently acquired Haram income. Without Zakat, wealth is considered impure, which can result in a lack of blessings or 'Baraka'.

Abandoning religious obligations can lead to a decrease in sustenance and quality of life, as these obligations are viewed as essential for maintaining spiritual and financial well-being.
