Spend Allah's provision with purpose
In one sentence
The khutbah argues that Muslims should recognize all wealth and blessings as provision from Allah and express that faith through responsible spending on family, charity, and lasting waqf.
The khutbah in 6 steps
- Explains spending from Allah’s provision as a core quality of believers.
- Defines rizq as both material wealth and nonmaterial blessings, and infaq as giving from what one has received.
- Uses the four-dinar hadith to prioritize family spending, while warning against interest-based debt.
- Teaches that all wealth belongs to Allah and that generosity should begin with family before expanding outward.
- Connects spending with prayer, remembrance, patience, obedience, and consultation.
- Encourages establishing waqf in Canada through regular paycheck contributions to support mosques and community needs.
