Get Rich Get Rich
We all dream to be rich, but the riches of this world are temporary. Wealth is also a great test for those who have it and don t. و اع ل م وا أ ن م ا أ م و ال ك م و أ و ل د ك م ف ت ن ة و أ ن الل و ع ند ه أ ج ر ع ظ ي م And know that your wealth and your children are but a trial, and that with Allah is a great reward. (8:28) But the reality for Muslims is that true richness is that of the heart and true success is that of the hereafter. We fail to realise that we can all be rich in every living moment of our lives, and that Allah has blessed the Prophet s nation with so many means and excuses to become the richest of all.
To become the richest person between the heavens and the earth all you have to do is Remember Allah. Our entire day, night and actions purely revolve around remembering Allah Waking, Wudu, Salah, Food, Dressing, Walking, Working, Shopping, Community Engagements, Reading, Sleeping If you forget Allah all day and only remember Him during Salah which is either irregular/half baked, then how can you be Rich? Remembering Allah in every breath and moment of your life will make you the Richest because all Riches come from HIM. و اع ل م وا أ ن الل و غ ن ي ح م يد And know that Allah is the Richest and Praiseworthy. (2:267)
ي ا أ ي ه ا ال ذ ين آم ن وا اذ ك ر وا الل و ذ ك ر ا ك ث ير ا O you who have believed, remember Allah with much remembrance (33:41) أ ن ر س ول اهلل ص ل ى الل و ع ل ي و و س ل م ق ال :»م ن ق ال ل إ لو إ ل اهلل و ح د ه ل ش ر يك ل و ل و ال م ل ك و ل و ال ح م د و ى و ع ل ى ك ل ش ي ء ق د ير ف ي ك ل ي و م م ائ ة م ر ة ك ان ت ل و ع د ل ع ش ر ر ق اب و ك ت ب ت ل و م ائ ة ح س ن ة و م ح ي ت ع ن و م ائ ة س ي ئ ة و ك ان ت ل و ح ر ز ا م ن الش ي ط ان ي و م و ذل ك ح ت ى ي م س ي و ل م ي أ ت أ ح د ب أ ف ضل م م ا ج اء ب و إ ل أ ح د ع م ل أ ك ث ر م ن ذ ل ك 1) The Prophet said: He who uttered these words: There is no god but Allah, the One, having no partner with Him. Sovereignty belongs to Him and all the praise is due to Him, and He is Potent over everything one hundred times every day there is a reward of emancipating ten slaves for him, and there are recorded a hundred virtues to his credit, and a hundred vices are blotted out from his scroll, and that is a safeguard for him against Satan on that day until evening and no one brings anything more excellent than this, except one who has done more than this.
م ن ق ال س ب ح ان اهلل و ب ح م د ه ف ي ي و م م ائ ة م ر ة ح ط ت خ ط اي اه و إ ن ك ان ت م ث ل ز ب د ال ب ح ر 2) The Prophet said: Whoever says a hundred times, Exalted be Allah, and all praise is due to Him, his sins will be forgiven though they may be as much as the foam of the sea. 3) Juwayriyya bint al-harith, one of the wives of the Prophet, reported that one day the Prophet left her apartment in the morning as she was busy observing her dawn prayer in her place of worship. He came back in the forenoon and she was still sitting there. The Prophet said to her: You have been in the same place since I left you? She said: Yes. Thereupon the Prophet said: I recited four words three times after I left you and if these are to be weighed against what you have recited since morning these would outweigh them, and these words are:
س ب ح ان الل و و ب ح م د ه ع د د خ ل ق و و ر ض ا ن ف س و و ز ن ة ع ر ش و و م د اد ك ل م ات و " Glory to Allah and praise to Him to number of His creation and to the extent of His pleasure and to the extent of the weight of His Throne and to the extent of ink used in recording words for His Praise.
عن أ ب ي ى ر ي ر ة ق ال : قال رسول اهلل صلى اهلل عليو وسلم:»أ ل أدلكم ب م ا إ ن أ خ ذ ت م ب و أ د ر ك ت م م ن س ب ق ك م و ل م ي د ر ك ك م أ ح د ب ع د ك م و ك ن ت م خ ي ر م ن أ ن ت م ب ي ن ظ ه ر ان ي ه م إ ل م ن ع م ل م ث ل و ت سب ح ون دبركل صةاة ثةاثا وثةاثين و ت ح م د ون ثةاثا وثةاثين و تكب ر ون ثةاثا وثةاثين وتقول تمام المائة: ل إلو إ ل اهلل وحده ل شريك لو الملك ولو الحمد وىو علىكل شيء قدير 4) Some poor people came to the Prophet and said, The wealthy people will get higher grades and will have permanent enjoyment and they pray like us and fast as we do. They have more money by which they perform the Hajj, and `Umra, fight and struggle in Allah s Cause and give in charity. The Prophet said, Shall I not tell you a thing upon which if you acted you would catch up with those who have surpassed you? Nobody would overtake you and you would be better than the people amongst whom you live except those who would do the same. Say SubhanAllah, Al hamdu lillah and Allahu Akbar thirty three times each after every (compulsory) prayer.
5) Ayatul-Kursi: When you recite this verse before you go to sleep, Allah sends a guardian to you and no shaytan will come to you until morning. Those who read this after each Salah shall enter Paradise. 6) Morning/Night Dua " م ا م ن ع ب د ي ق ول ف ي ص ب اح ك ل ي و م و م س اء ك ل ل ي ل ة ب س م الل و ال ذ ي ل ي ض ر م ع اس م و ش ي ء ف ي األ ر ض و ل ف ي الس م اء و ى و الس م يع ال ع ل يم ث ةا ث م ر ات ف ي ض ر ه ش ي ء In the Name of Allah, who with His Name, nothing in the earth or the heavens can cause harm, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing من صل ى علي صةاة صل ى اهلل عليو بها عشرا 7) I heard the Messenger of Allah saying: Whoever supplicates Allah to exalt my mention, Allah will exalt his mention ten times.
