How To Develop Alternate Streams Of Income In Time of Financial Difficulty
“O young man, I shall teach you some words [of advice]: Be mindful of Allah and Allah will protect you. Be mindful of Allah and you will find Him in front of you. If you ask, then ask Allah [alone]; and if you seek help, then seek help from Allah [alone].
And know that if the nation were to gather together to benefit you with anything, they would not benefit you except with what Allah had already prescribed for you. And if they were to gather together to harm you with anything, they would not harm you except with what Allah had already prescribed against you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried.”
- Hadith 19 of 40 Hadith an-Nawawi
Every night, I would check my bank account. How much credit card debt I owe? How much do I have left to spend on food and groceries? Tomorrow worries me.
Honestly, I have and always had enough. At school, my parents gave me pocket money. At university, I lived off education scholarship. So I was never tested with poverty.
But this feeling of not having enough always finds its way in my heart.
