Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.

(Qur’ān 63:10). ‘Wa-anfiqū min mā razaqnākum’, ‘And spend [in the way of Allah ] from what We have provided you.’ Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying, “Spend from the rizq We’ve given you.” Let it be beneficial to you and to others, says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. When something happens, the brothers always ask us, “Shall we keep provisions at home? How much should we keep? What shall we do?” Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim told to keep food at home. May Allāh ﷻ protect us, any situation may happen. Therefore, people should always have provisions for 40 days or two months. They say food goes bad. You must give it to the poor and needy so that it doesn’t go bad. You take yourself under guarantee, and from what you don’t want - there are many poor and needy people. Many people will want it.

Therefore, it is good from this side as well to follow the blessed word of Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim. You will have kept rizq for those people too. People in old times used to buy flour, salt and oil once a year in villages. They’d buy in the end of the year, or buy it when they sold their own products. It would be enough for a year for them. It was not daily like now. Therefore, they write expiry date now. They look when it expires and throw it immediately. That is another foolishness. There is expiry date on salt as well. Nothing happens with salt even if it’s 1,000 years old. Same with honey. They write on some things that it becomes a waste. Even then, give away before the expiry date. Because mā shā’a Llāh poor people look at it more than the rich. You see them throwing things to garbage as they’re expired and don’t use them. People can use them. Even if a year or two years pass, nothing happens to them. Most things can be used. Only certain things go bad after some time. But the rest is a waste. Their economy is also waste. They say the more you spend, the better the economy is. When you buy, others sell. You buy and sell. You sell it, but when it is wasted, it is not good. Wasting is not good at all. Barakah goes away, the rizq of people and the country goes down. Therefore, all this inflation and things are from the waste. Whereas if people buy as much as they need and

don’t waste, all country won’t be in need. There will be no poverty. Economy is the fabrication of Europe, the West. It will work if you do that. But by trying everything, prices have gone up. There is no money left. Indeed, no one knows what to do anymore. But, its solution is coming with the permission of Allāh ﷻ. All this economy and this and that will improve with Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām. Because they’ve ruined everything. Everywhere is ruined. Whatever you take, it doesn’t work. You expect it to be fixed. But it neither works, nor there is someone to fix it.

Therefore, as we said, spend on goodness. The worldly situation is not clear. Therefore, keep rizq for a month or two months. And if it gets old, give it away to the poor for them to benefit. You will have thawāb, and their rizq will have come through you. Allāh ﷻ is ar-Razzaq. But He ﷻ may give to some people through your hands to bring benefit to all. That is a great favour of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Covering others’ needs is a great benefit to you. It is a favor from Allāh ﷻ to you. A giving hand is better than a taking hand. It is said in ḥadīth sharīf. Be the giving hand in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh ﷻ always give barakah. May our service be everlasting. May the generosity of Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim spread everywhere, in shā’a Llāh.

Wa min Allāhi t-Tawfīq. Al-Fātiḥa.
