Fastest way to build wealth in Islam
Everyone
wants to build their wealth in the inevitable pursuit of a livelihood.
People do various things including agriculture, jobs, and business to build
their wealth. People move from one place to another and from one country to
another in the hope of increasing wealth. Governments of all countries, human
rights organizations, and various NGOs take various steps to increase
resources. Islam does not deny the logic of these measures. But Islam connects
with it in some more internal ways.
There
are many fastest ways to build wealth in Islam in a halal way. Such as-
i. Practicing Taqwa
Allah says, and whoever fears Allah, He
will make for him a way out. And give him sustenance from his unthinkable place.
He suffices as one who puts his trust in Allah. Allah will complete his work.
Allah has set a standard for everything. (Surah:
Talaq, verses: 2-3)
ii. Asking Allah for forgiveness
In
response to Noah (peace be upon him), the Holy Qur'an says, ‘I said, ask
forgiveness of your Lord, surely He is the Forgiving. He will send down
abundant rain for you, will enrich you with wealth and children, and will
establish for you gardens and rivers. (Sura: Noah, verses: 10-12)
Only
by asking Allah for forgiveness does Allah declare that He will bestow these
blessings on His servants. If a person's sins are forgiven, there is rain for
fruits, wealth, and children, then what is the concern of that person? So man
should ask Allah for forgiveness more and more. Only then will people get peace
of mind, get halal sustenance, have righteous children, and gardens and rivers
and canals will be filled with rainwater. In another verse Allah says- Ask
forgiveness of your Lord, then He will give you a good provision for a specified
term, and will give to every virtuous person his due. (Surah HUD: verse 3)
iii. To repent
To repent means to reject sin knowing
it is an abominable act. Be ashamed of your mistakes and make a firm commitment
not to do so in the future. In the words of Hud (AS), the Qur'an says, And O my
people, ask forgiveness of your Lord and then repent to Him. He will send rain
from the sky upon you in showers and increase you in strength added to your
strength. And do not turn away, being criminals."(Surah: HUD, Ayat: 52)
Allah
sent HUD (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as a Prophet to the people
of Aad. The human race is unique in human history in terms of physical size and
physical strength. HUD (peace be upon him) also belonged to that nation. From
this verse and the previous one, it is clear that he gave them three basic
invitations. One. The call to Tawhid or monotheism and the call not to worship
any entity or force other than Allah. Two. He is a pure benefactor in the
message of Tawhid that he has brought, for which he does not ask them for any
reward. Three. Ask forgiveness from Allah for all the sins you have committed
in your past life, such as kufr, shirk, etc., and repent from those sins for
the future. If you can truly repent and forgive, then you will gain eternal
success and happy life in the Hereafter. The world will see many benefits.
Famine and drought will end and energy capacity will increase in time. The word
‘energy’ is used here in a broad sense. Which includes physical strength and wealth,
strength and manpower. By this, it is known that thanks to repentance and
forgiveness, wealth and children are also blessed in the world.
iv. Tawakkul or reliance on Allah
In
the tradition of 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from Tirmidhi
and Ibn Majah-The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “If
you had put your trust in Allah, Allah would have given you sustenance like a
bird. The birds leave the nest hungry in the morning and return in the evening
to fill their stomachs. ” (Tirmidhi,
Hadith: 2344)
The
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) further said: Seventy
thousand people from my ummah will enter Paradise without any reason. One of
their virtues is that they will rely on Allah. (Bukhari: 5705, Muslim: 218)
v. Worshiping Allah properly
Worship
brings blessings to Rizik. Allah the Almighty said, ‘and if they had followed
the Torah and the Gospel and the Book which has been revealed to them from
their Lord, they would surely have eaten from above (the sky) and from below
(the earth) in abundance. A party of them are on the straight path, and most of
them are such that their activities are very heinous. (Surah: Maeda, Ayat: 66)

The
gist of this is that if the Jews today still believe in the Torah, the Injil,
and the Qur'an and follow them perfectly - do not exaggerate by calling false
and fabricated matters religion, then they will be entitled to the promised
blessings in the Hereafter Will be exposed. As a result, sustenance will be
rained down on them from above and below. God used to send down water from the
sky. As a result, crops were produced from the land. And thus they were blessed
in the heavens and the earth. [Ibn Kathir]
vi. Expressing gratitude
Gratitude increases wealth. The Holy
Qur’an says, ‘Remember the time when your Lord declared that if you are
grateful, I will increase you, and if you are ungrateful, My punishment is
severe. (Surah: Ibrahim, verse: 7)
In
this verse, it is said that expressing gratitude increases the grace of Allah
the Almighty and decreases the amount of divine grace towards those who are
ungrateful. But there are different ways to express gratitude to Allah. Just as
gratitude can be expressed through Doa Darud or remembrance of Allah, gratitude
can be expressed through helping the poor and helpless people or by giving alms
in the way of Allah for His satisfaction.
In
nature, it is the fixed rule of Allah that goodness and divine grace will
increase towards the grateful and the ungrateful will be deprived of it. Allah
Ta'ala is not dependent on man for gaining gratitude, this gratitude is for the
benefit of man. As a result, human morality is improved, and character
excellence is achieved. As a result, he may be entitled to more welfare.
vii. Giving Hasana in Debt
Allah says, ‘The generous men and the generous women and
those who give good loans to Allah will be given many times more and for them,
there is a great reward. (Surah: Hadid, verse: 18) At least ten times more than
one and more than seven hundred times more than that. This increase can be on
the basis of determination, necessity, and space-time.
viii. Spending in the way of Allah
If you spend in the way of Allah, Allah will
increase your wealth. In this regard, Allah says: Say, "Indeed, my Lord
extends provision for whom He wills of His servants and restricts it for him.
But whatever thing you spend in His cause. He will compensate it; He is the
best of providers." (Surah: Saba, verse: 39)
Whoever
spends according to the command of Allah, Allah has taken it upon Himself to
reward him. It has been narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah
be upon him) said, “Every morning two angels descend. One of them prays,
"O Allah, recompense the spendthrift." Another prays, "O Allah,
destroy the wealth of those who do not spend" [Bukhari 1442, Muslim 1010]
ix. Praying for the increase of wealth
Isa Ibn Maryam (a.s.) prays for the increase of wealth in this sense, ‘O Allah! O our Lord! Send down to us food from the sky, so that it may be a source of joy for us, that is, for those of us who are first and those who are after, and a sign for you. And give us food. You are the best food provider. (Surah: Maeda, verse: 114)
