When it comes to money, we may wonder what role it plays in a Muslim’s life. Sure, money is necessary to function in life, but how much importance should we give it? How do we ensure that we stay within the boundaries set by Islam? And, how do we make sure we stay financially fit and productive?
Islam is all about balance. We should strive for halal earnings so we can provide for ourselves and our families, but we should also endeavor to purify our wealth through charity and use our earnings to please Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He). We should manage our money properly, but we should also avoid becoming obsessive and stingy. We should enjoy the gifts Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) has given us, but we should also use those gifts to help others.
