Don’t Give Your Rizq to Safeeh

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 04:05). ‘Wa lā tu’utū s-Sufahā’a ‘amwālakumu l-llatī ja’ala Allāhu lakum qiyāmāan wa Rzuqūhum fīhā wa ksūhum wa qūlū lahum qawlāan ma’rūfāan’, ‘And do not give the foolish your property, which Allah has made a means of sustenance for you, but provide for them with it and clothe them and speak to them words of appropriate kindness.’

Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says, “Don’t give your money and property away to Safeeh (profligate) people. Keep them.” “May they be a trust for you instead”, says Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. That is a Rizq from Allah ﷻ. We should be careful with that. Generosity is one thing, but usage or care is another thing.

A Safeeh is a person who doesn’t value others’ goods, who doesn’t know how to handle them. His property can be handled by his relatives. In order for it not to be wasted and squandered, they should keep it. They can give him as much as he needs, and give the rest slowly and step by step. If he comes back to his senses and takes care of his property, it can be returned to him.

Most of the world has become such the Safeeh type. Nevertheless, we have to keep the order of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla so that people don’t have any loss but have benefit. Also, we are living in the end of times. People are saying, “We don’t know how to do it” and giving it to others. But others are cheating them by telling them that they will do it. Whereas, some people cheat people out of stupidity, and some out of craftiness. “I want to use it and will return it after I earn profit. Let me do business with your money.” You must say, “No, my brother, if you had known it, you wouldn’t have needed me. Mind your own business.” You should say the same to the crafty one. You shouldn’t believe him. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says to be careful for both yourself and others. Rizq is from Allah ﷻ. Do not give it away to this one and that one. Take care of your Rizq and property by yourself.

We are living in such an age that since the time of our Holy Prophet ﷺ until now, people have changed a lot. This Ayah is always applicable. Be careful. Don’t give away to others by pretending to be generous or in order to earn more profit. Guarantee yourself. Guarantee your work and business.

Most of the time they used to come to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and complain, “I gave this much money to this man, but he didn’t return it.” Mawlana Shaykh Nazim had a good reply, “Are you asking for it now? You should have asked from the beginning. Don’t ask now.” There was a crafty man who took two mentally abnormal men as guarantors to a bank. He got the money from the bank. And then, the bank manager came to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim saying that this man did so. He said, “Why didn’t you ask him before?” He used to answer as such most of the time. Therefore, Mashayikh don’t want it either. If you want to do something, you must do your research and then start it.

May Allah ﷻ help us. May Allah ﷻ protect us. May Allah ﷻ give us good Halal Rizq. A person who thinks that he gets profit in such a way doesn’t earn anything. He is losing and putting others in loss too. May Allah ﷻ improve us. May Allah ﷻ give mind and understanding to people.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
