So there’s a Hadith that says there was a man once, and he used to live in one of the previous nations. So a man heard a voice say to a cloud that go and water so-and-so’s garden. So this man followed the cloud and reached that man. And he asked that man that I heard this voice. It means you do something really good, that Allah is sending you this special rain.
So tell me, what is it that you do? So the man said, When I have my harvest, I put it into three buckets. Let’s say the first bucket, I give it away in the way of Allah. I give it in charity. The second one, I use it for me and my family. And a third one is I invest back into my garden.
This is a benchmark for us to do our financial planning.
