Think of how many hospitals you can build, how many schools you can build, how many things you can fund, how many scholars can be funded, how many public services you can improve if you had the wealth to do so, if as an Ummah we had the collective wealth to do so, how many ways we could shape the narrative and shape society.
Before we talk about why we should build wealth as Muslims, we have to break two misconceptions.
Whoever says the Prophet ﷺ was poor, I challenge this person to bring me concrete evidence of this.
The Prophet ﷺ was a noble man from a noble family, and he was wealthy, but he lived a simple life.
It is not that he was poor, that he did not have the means, that he struggled.
Part of this farmland, he had given it as a waqf to generate income for the sake of Allah ﷻ.
He entered into a مضاربة, a partnership agreement with Khadija رضي الله عنها before Islam.
He understood trade the ability to understand local cultures, prices, customs, products.
The moment he arrives in Medina, after building Masjid Quba, rather after building Masjid Quba, what is the first thing the Prophet ﷺ builds? One apartment for each of his wives.
For us to think the Prophet ﷺ was a poor, financially illiterate person, this is a lie against the Messenger ﷺ.
The second misconception, which is a really important one, which is very popular, which we have to destroy.
