Surah Al-Furqan (25:67) The people who spend money, when they spend
00:24
money, they don’t spend too much.
00:26
And they’re not cheap either.
00:29
They are right in between.
00:33
When you go shopping, you say “I make good money, put it all in, I’ll take two of those,
00:39
I’ll take 3 of those, I’ll take 5 of those.
00:42
What’s the biggest TV you have?”
00:44
Allah says, people who spend but they are responsible when they spend, and they’re
00:50
not cheap either.
00:51
You don’t go to the store with your wife with the cereal, and the milk and the vegetables
00:56
and she’s putting in the milk and you’re like, “You’re gonna drink all that milk?
01:02
You need that milk?
01:03
Get the small one.”
01:04
Don’t do that.
01:05
Don’t be cheap either.
01:06
You have to have a balance in your budget.
01:08
Let me tell you something.
01:10
The economic crisis in the world, the fall of the European economy, the fall of the American
01:16
economy, that is barely recovering, you know where it came from?
01:19
It came from people spending irresponsibly and saying, we can just put it on the credit card.
01:27
And people built upon this debt because they spent outside of their means.
01:32
Quran is teaching us that when you spend money, don’t spend money that is not in your pocket,
01:40
don’t take loans, don’t be addicted to your credit cards, don’t be like that.
01:45
Spend within your means, spend within your budgets.
01:48
A lot of you, MashAllah, are doing well financially, so you say to yourself, “I can afford it.”
01:52
Just because you can afford it doesn’t mean you should spend the money.
01:56
Your money has other uses.
01:58
You can help your family.
01:59
You have a lot of family back home who is not doing well, you can help them.
02:03
You can help people get out of debt.
02:05
Your money can do other good things.
02:09
Instead of just buying yourself things.
02:13
“They maintain a healthy, normal, responsible budget in between.”
