While chatting about life and spending (both of us have a big family), he asked me about my life and how I am doing since I don't have job. I told him that I adopt a verse in the Holy Qura'an as my spending policy. Allah Says in Surat AtTalaaq verse 7
لِيُنفِقْ ذُو سَعَةٍ مِّن سَعَتِهِ وَمَن قُدِرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقُهُ فَلْيُنفِقْ مِمَّا آتَاهُ اللَّهُ لا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلاَّ مَا آتَاهَا سَيَجْعَلُ اللَّهُ بَعْدَ عُسْرٍ يُسْرًا
Let the rich man spend according to his means, and the man whose resources are restricted, let him spend according to what Allah has given him. Allah puts no burden on any person beyond what He has given him. Allah will grant after hardship, ease.
then he told me that this verse was his father policy. Then he related a story that one time his father had only 8 dinar. He spent them all on his family. He set out to buy meat! No fear! No worries about tomorrow! He had strong faith that Allah will bring its sustenance! Allahu Akbar! Having faith in Allah expecting the best from Him!
Life is so beautiful when the person lives it with good opinion of His Lord expecting the best from Him!
May Allah strengthen our faith to remain steadfast.
