Fastest way to build wealth in Islam

Everyone wants to build their wealth in the inevitable pursuit of a livelihood. People do various things including agriculture, jobs, and business to build their wealth. People move from one place to another and from one country to another in the hope of increasing wealth. Governments of all countries, human rights organizations, and various NGOs take various steps to increase resources. Islam does not deny the logic of these measures. But Islam connects with it in some more internal ways. 

There are many fastest ways to build wealth in Islam in a halal way. Such as-

i. Practicing Taqwa

Allah says, and whoever fears Allah, He will make for him a way out. And give him sustenance from his unthinkable place. He suffices as one who puts his trust in Allah. Allah will complete his work. Allah has set a standard for everything. (Surah: Talaq, verses: 2-3)

ii. Asking Allah for forgiveness

In response to Noah (peace be upon him), the Holy Qur'an says, ‘I said, ask forgiveness of your Lord, surely He is the Forgiving. He will send down abundant rain for you, will enrich you with wealth and children, and will establish for you gardens and rivers. (Sura: Noah, verses: 10-12)

Only by asking Allah for forgiveness does Allah declare that He will bestow these blessings on His servants. If a person's sins are forgiven, there is rain for fruits, wealth, and children, then what is the concern of that person? So man should ask Allah for forgiveness more and more. Only then will people get peace of mind, get halal sustenance, have righteous children, and gardens and rivers and canals will be filled with rainwater. In another verse Allah says- Ask forgiveness of your Lord, then He will give you a good provision for a specified term, and will give to every virtuous person his due. (Surah HUD: verse 3)

iii. To repent

To repent means to reject sin knowing it is an abominable act. Be ashamed of your mistakes and make a firm commitment not to do so in the future. In the words of Hud (AS), the Qur'an says, And O my people, ask forgiveness of your Lord and then repent to Him. He will send rain from the sky upon you in showers and increase you in strength added to your strength. And do not turn away, being criminals."(Surah: HUD, Ayat: 52)

Allah sent HUD (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as a Prophet to the people of Aad. The human race is unique in human history in terms of physical size and physical strength. HUD (peace be upon him) also belonged to that nation. From this verse and the previous one, it is clear that he gave them three basic invitations. One. The call to Tawhid or monotheism and the call not to worship any entity or force other than Allah. Two. He is a pure benefactor in the message of Tawhid that he has brought, for which he does not ask them for any reward. Three. Ask forgiveness from Allah for all the sins you have committed in your past life, such as kufr, shirk, etc., and repent from those sins for the future. If you can truly repent and forgive, then you will gain eternal success and happy life in the Hereafter. The world will see many benefits. Famine and drought will end and energy capacity will increase in time. The word ‘energy’ is used here in a broad sense. Which includes physical strength and wealth, strength and manpower. By this, it is known that thanks to repentance and forgiveness, wealth and children are also blessed in the world.

iv. Tawakkul or reliance on Allah

In the tradition of 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah-The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “If you had put your trust in Allah, Allah would have given you sustenance like a bird. The birds leave the nest hungry in the morning and return in the evening to fill their stomachs. ” (Tirmidhi, Hadith: 2344)

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) further said: Seventy thousand people from my ummah will enter Paradise without any reason. One of their virtues is that they will rely on Allah. (Bukhari: 5705, Muslim: 218)

v. Worshiping Allah properly 

Worship brings blessings to Rizik. Allah the Almighty said, ‘and if they had followed the Torah and the Gospel and the Book which has been revealed to them from their Lord, they would surely have eaten from above (the sky) and from below (the earth) in abundance. A party of them are on the straight path, and most of them are such that their activities are very heinous. (Surah: Maeda, Ayat: 66)

The gist of this is that if the Jews today still believe in the Torah, the Injil, and the Qur'an and follow them perfectly - do not exaggerate by calling false and fabricated matters religion, then they will be entitled to the promised blessings in the Hereafter Will be exposed. As a result, sustenance will be rained down on them from above and below. God used to send down water from the sky. As a result, crops were produced from the land. And thus they were blessed in the heavens and the earth. [Ibn Kathir]

vi. Expressing gratitude 

Gratitude increases wealth. The Holy Qur’an says, ‘Remember the time when your Lord declared that if you are grateful, I will increase you, and if you are ungrateful, My punishment is severe. (Surah: Ibrahim, verse: 7)

In this verse, it is said that expressing gratitude increases the grace of Allah the Almighty and decreases the amount of divine grace towards those who are ungrateful. But there are different ways to express gratitude to Allah. Just as gratitude can be expressed through Doa Darud or remembrance of Allah, gratitude can be expressed through helping the poor and helpless people or by giving alms in the way of Allah for His satisfaction.

In nature, it is the fixed rule of Allah that goodness and divine grace will increase towards the grateful and the ungrateful will be deprived of it. Allah Ta'ala is not dependent on man for gaining gratitude, this gratitude is for the benefit of man. As a result, human morality is improved, and character excellence is achieved. As a result, he may be entitled to more welfare.

vii. Giving Hasana in Debt

Allah says, ‘The generous men and the generous women and those who give good loans to Allah will be given many times more and for them, there is a great reward. (Surah: Hadid, verse: 18) At least ten times more than one and more than seven hundred times more than that. This increase can be on the basis of determination, necessity, and space-time.

viii. Spending in the way of Allah 

If you spend in the way of Allah, Allah will increase your wealth. In this regard, Allah says: Say, "Indeed, my Lord extends provision for whom He wills of His servants and restricts it for him. But whatever thing you spend in His cause. He will compensate it; He is the best of providers." (Surah: Saba, verse: 39)

Whoever spends according to the command of Allah, Allah has taken it upon Himself to reward him. It has been narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Every morning two angels descend. One of them prays, "O Allah, recompense the spendthrift." Another prays, "O Allah, destroy the wealth of those who do not spend" [Bukhari 1442, Muslim 1010]

ix. Praying for the increase of wealth 

Isa Ibn Maryam (a.s.) prays for the increase of wealth in this sense, ‘O Allah! O our Lord! Send down to us food from the sky, so that it may be a source of joy for us, that is, for those of us who are first and those who are after, and a sign for you. And give us food. You are the best food provider. (Surah: Maeda, verse: 114)
