And One More Thing #17: Transactions
Ramadān Reflection
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
This has been a hard time for businesses and individuals. Some businesses have had to shut down, some had to make changes, some individuals lost their jobs and others had to take a pay cut. Sure, there are business that have not only thrived but flourished Alhamdulillah.
For a long time, we thought having a government salary meant financial safety. I can definitely tell you it does not, because I have seen how strike actions affect your income.
Is there any true financial safety without any risk?
"Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties [in exchange] for that they will have Paradise." [Qur'an 9:111]
Now this is the most successful transaction. One where Allah is the buyer, who takes the lives and properties of the believers in exchange for Jannah and this transaction is recorded in all His Books (the Torah, Bible and the Qur'an) and the witness to this transaction is the blessed Prophet (SAW).
A sure transaction! The Policies won’t change like a confused Central Bank of Nigeria. Allah’s words and promises are true. And He only speaks the truth. It is better than building generational wealth because this is forever. Jannah is forever.
Jannah is soooo worth it. O! Allah please admit us into Jannah!
Now go ahead and share to a friend/loved one who should read this!
