Haatim Al-Asam (rahimahullaah) said: Whoever claims three affairs without three other affairs is a liar:
[a] The one who claims to love Allaah without fearing what He has forbidden is a liar;
[b] the one who claims to love paradise without spending his wealth is a liar;
[c] The one who claims to love the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) without loving the poor people is a liar.

Are you one who seeks marriage? Finding it hard in the worldly part of it? You know the luxury, lavish and money stuff.
Read on if you please (and if you want something to use to convince your parents to go on the Islamic view of marriage)

Sharing this story because as much as I get marriage related questions on my inbox, I get it also in real life. May Allah make it easy for each and everyone of us. Ameen
Since most of those are financial/money related queries, regarding the mahr or anything related to the expensive wedding stuff. Here’s a story that would make you realize how a believer should be in regards to money to his family.

Muslim Ibn Sabih Kufi says that he heard his father saying, “Mughira Ibn Sho’ba RA and an arab youth both sent proposal for marriage to a woman at the same time. That Arab youth was quite handsome and beautiful as compared to Mughira Ibn Sho’ba RA. The woman replied to the proposals to both of them saying, “You both have sought to marry me. I cannot give a final verdict to any of you till I meet and talk to you both. Therefore, if any of you wants to marry me, he must come to me at such and such time so that I can reach a conclusion and select my life partner.”
Upon receiving the message, both the men went to meet the woman. She made them sit at a place where she could not see them but hear both of them.
Mughira RA got impressed when he witnessed the Arab’s youngster’s beautiful body, excellent youthfulness, good shape and soft-speech, losing hope of any success in the presence of such a competitor. He told himself not to pin any hope as every woman wanted a handsome, beautiful and attractive husband, and his competitor possessed all such qualities which he did not. He thought to himself, “When the woman will see me, she will definitely select the Arab youth, and I will only face defeat.”
Mughira RA was thinking all this as he suddenly asked the Arab youngster, “Brother, you have been gifted with beauty and soft-speech. Do you have any other qualities?” The youngster boasted, “Why not, I have such and such qualities.” Thus he mentioned several qualities, counting them on his fingers. Then he fell silent.
Mughira RA asked, “Okay, tell me how do you conduct your financial dealings?” The youngster replied, “It is excellent, I do not miscalculate even a single penny as I minutely maitain my accounts in detail.”
Now, Mughira RA began to say about himself, “But I am different from you. I leave an unattended pouch containing thousands of dirhams in a corner of my house. My family members continue to spend as much as they require from this pouch and I do not know how much money has been spent and how much is left behind. I come to know of the exhaustion of the money only when they demand more from me.”
The woman was attentively listening to the conversation between the two candidates. When she listened to what Mughira RA was saying she said, “I swear by Allah! This man deserves the most to marry me, and is more acceptable to me as he will not torment me while getting confused with his finances, and I do not like this Arab youth who will hold me accountable for every penny.”
Afterwards, the woman married Mughira Ibn Sho’ba Radiyallahu Anhu.

Subhan’Allah, let this story reach families who are so keen on the financial stuff in marriages, sisters who are so keen on the physical attributes of their suitors and brothers who are so worried with their finances that they live as if they do not want to part from their worldly gains.
Let us take a moment and understand that Mughira RA makes his family spend out for charity and spend what is just needed for them, as let us remember that his family are also practising Muslims who abide to the rules and regulations accordingly to Islam.
Remember that the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalaam said that “Without a doubt, when a Muslim spends money on his family while considering (the action as worship), it is an act of charity”. [Ahmad, Bukhari and Muslim]
There is a big difference to a person who is generous and are too keen on his

There is a big difference to a person who is generous and are too keen on his
finances, being too keen on your finances shows too much attachment to the worldly life. - and this is the point that the woman raised when she said that the arab youth would held her accountable for every penny.
Spending for the sake of Allah should be so sincere that the left hand doesnt know how much the right hand has given and vice versa, for all that they intend is to spend for the sake of Allah, and indeed Allah said in a Hadith Qudsi that Spend on charity, O son of Adam and I will spend on you.
But spending too much in weddings is wasting too much money, when such big amount of money can be given to charity, let us all think twice on how we should spend what we have earned or gained for such actions will be for sure asked by Allah on the Day Promised.
My dear brothers and sisters, take a moment and reflect from this story. Ponder hard.

And we pray that Allah blesses us with such good understanding when it comes to worldly things and our acts of worship.

GOOD NEWS FOR DIABETES PATIENTS
The head of the court house of Tabook in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has found a treatment for diabetes, after a clinical trial that was successful. All praise is due to Allaah.
The head of the court of Tabook, brother Salih Muhammad At-twaajiri, has found a cure for diabetes that many people are suffering from, especially the elderly, men or women.
His honour mentioned that it took many trials and hard work but he found, by the permission of Allaah, the best way to treat the disease.
INGREDIENTS:
1. 100 grams/3.5 ounces of Burr (Whole wheat).
2. 100 grams/3.5 ounces of Leban Murr (Real Arabic Gum base from the gum tree).
3. 100 grams/3.5 ounces of Sha'eer (Barley).
4. 100 grams/3.5 ounces of Habba Sauda (Black Seed).
PREPARATION:
# Mix all the ingredients with five cups of water.
# Heat up the mixture till it boils and let it boil for ten (10) minutes.
# Let the mixture set till it cools.
# Strain the mixture of all the impurities; keep the clean liquid in a glass container.
USAGE:
The sick person starts drinking the liquid in the amount of an espresso cup every morning before breakfast on an empty stomach for seven consecutive days. After the first week, he/she changes the methodology; he/she starts doing same amount every other day for a week. After that, he/she stops using the mixture completely. Thereafter, he/she can eat whatever that was not allowed for them before the treatment. Don't fear in shaa Allaah.
His honour wishes that Allaah Ta'ala benefits whosoever gets the news of this treatment, that he considers it an obligation upon us, to spread it amongst the people.
Please don't forget to make supplication for us.

Tawakkul or Fatalism:
Umar Bin Khattaab (Radiy'Allahu'anhu) heard the Messenger of Allah (Sal'Allahu alaihi'wa'sallam) saying, “If you trust Allah with the right kind of Tawakkul, He will provide you sustenance as He provides for the birds – they go out in the morning with empty stomachs and come back in the evening with full stomachs.” [Tirmidhi]
A bird sitting in its nest, praising Allah (subhana wa ta’ala), will not have its stomach filled. It has to go out to seek food. It is only the bird that after glorifying Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) goes out and makes an effort to find food, that comes back full.
Belief in Allah's qada and qadar does not preclude action.
Umar (Radiy'Allah'anhu) asked a group of people sitting around: “Who are you?” They replied: “We are resigned to the will of Allah and have placed our trust (made Tawakkul) in Him.” These people refused to bother with trying to earn a living using Tawakkul as an excuse. Umar (Radiy'Allah'anhu) hit them and told them not to twist the concept of Tawakkul. He said, “You lie! Such a person is resigned to the will of Allah who sows the seed and then places his trust in Him. It is not Tawakkul to sit with idle hands. Gold and silver do not descend from the sky.”
Should one have tawwakul and not take the means?
Ibn al-Qayyim (Rahimahullah) said: This does not contradict tawaakul (putting one’s trust in Allaah), just as warding off hunger, thirst, heat and cold does not contradict tawakkul. The essence of tawaakul is not complete without resorting to the means which Allaah has set out in order for us to achieve results both according to His decree (qadr) and His laws (shar’). Not using these means is contrary to tawaakul: it goes against and undermines the command and wisdom of Allaah, although the one who neglects the means may think that this makes his tawakkul stronger. Ignoring the means is a sign of helplessness that goes against the true essence of tawakkul, which is that the heart relies on Allaah to bring the slave whatever will benefit him in this world and the next, and to protect him from whatever may harm him in this world and the next. But along with this reliance, it is essential to take the appropriate means, otherwise he will be going against the wisdom and command of Allah. Helplessness should not be taken as a sign of tawaakul, nor should tawakkul make a person helpless.

Al-Albaani gave the following noscript for the hadith below, “Is this the time the hadith is referring to?”
The Prophet ﷺ said, “Indeed, today you are in a time whose scholars are many, whose preachers are few, whoever leaves a tenth of what he knows has followed his desires. Later a time will come whose preachers are many, whose scholars are few—whoever holds firmly to a tenth of what he knows is saved.”
