For Rasulallah SAW states, \u201cAllah is most pleased by those who are easygoing in their business practices, both in selling and buying.\u201d In today\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">waaz<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin TUS described those who are easygoing as those that are pious, put their faith in Allah, and remain true to Him and His faith. For when we make Allah our guarantor, all else falls into place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Business-mindedness runs in the blood of mumineen. Our Awliya Kiraam AS and Hudud Kiraam QS are exemplary models for how to conduct business with honesty and integrity in a world of cutthroat competition, deception, and material gain. They demonstrate that Allah is the only true provider, and when we put our faith in Allah and act in His name, He rewards us with innumerable bounties.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Syedi Luqmanji Saheb\u2019s QS ethical and moral conduct compelled him to warn a prospective buyer of a defect in the shoes he was selling. When the boss found out about this, he reprimanded Syedi Luqmanji, saying that lying and deception form the backbone of business. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disgusted by the dishonesty,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> he started his own business grounded in piety and trust in Allah: the pursuit of the knowledge of Aale Mohammed AS.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Syedi Hasan bin Nooh al Bharuchi QS, the \u2018King of Business,\u2019 had a sprawling, trend-setting business empire stretching from the Far East to Northern Africa. When Syedna Mohammed Izzuddin RA faced opposition from the Zaidi ruler in Yemen, he sacrificed his wealth and pledged his fealty in front of the other elders who were too easily willing to yield to the Zaidis, exclaiming that, \u201cIf they come at us with bullets of lead, I will counter with bullets of gold and silver!\u2019 Allah rewarded his fidelity and love for Maula RA by bestowing him with a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dai<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in his progeny: Syedna Ali Shamsuddin RA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After selling the orchard cultivated and given to him by Rasulallah SAW and disbursing the full amount to mumineen in need, Maulana Ali AS borrowed 7 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dinars<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from Rasulallah SAW to buy food. As he and Imam Hasan AS walked through the market, they encountered a beggar, and gave him the 7 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dinars<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Maulana Ali AS was left empty-handed<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> They subsequently met a man who was selling his camel for 100 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dinars<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Maulana Ali AS disclosed that he did not have the money to pay for it, but the man was willing to be paid later on. Taking the camel, they came across a prospective buyer who inquired about the price of the camel. Once again, with full disclosure, Maulana Ali AS stated that he had bought the camel for 100 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dinars<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The man offered Maulana Ali AS 170 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dinars<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. After paying off the 100 dinar debt to the original buyer, Maulana Ali AS presented the remaining 70 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dinars<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to Rasulallah SAW. Rasulullah SAW exclaimed, \u201cO Ali! Virtuous indeed are the seller and the buyer!\u201d The seller of the camel was Jibraeel, and the buyer was Mikaeel. Allah rewarded the integrity with which Maulana Ali AS provided for his mumineen, gave <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sadaqah<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and conducted business, with 10 times that which Rasulallah SAW had lent him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We all yearn for Allah\u2019s love; and those that Allah loves, he endows with an undying love for Maulana Ali AS. Our love for Maulana Ali AS and his son Imam Husain AS gives us the ability to put aside our business, jobs, college exams, and other duties in the pursuit of the business that is above all others: the remembrance and mourning of Imam Husain AS. Maula TUS exclaimed that in doing so, we are not \u2018closed for business.\u2019 In fact, in return for our tears, our <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">maatam, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and our <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">noha wal aweel<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we gain Allah\u2019s most valuable and eternal <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rizq<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jannat.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3<sup>rd<\/sup> Moharram<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[97],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/empireuae.com\/demo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6929"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/empireuae.com\/demo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/empireuae.com\/demo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/empireuae.com\/demo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/empireuae.com\/demo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6929"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/empireuae.com\/demo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6929\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6930,"href":"https:\/\/empireuae.com\/demo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6929\/revisions\/6930"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/empireuae.com\/demo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6929"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/empireuae.com\/demo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6929"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/empireuae.com\/demo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6929"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
