[Friday Sermon] Using this World without being Its Slave; Ali\'s Relationship with the Less Fortunate - Maulana Syed Muh
- Minimum wage mandatory raise in the province of Ontario and its reactions within all aspects of society. - Employees receive higher wages, however some employers cut off other benefits and plans as a result. - In any country, when the government want to handle their own finances or budgets, it’s always the poor section of the society who suffers the most. - On the other hand, officials and executives continue living a lavish lifestyle. - Narration of Khutba # 209 of Nahjul Balagha. - The advice given in the above Khutba is relevant to us even today. - The executives who cut budgets should first start from themselves. - Imam Ali(a.s) was not poor. He had many properties and wells that he gave away as waqf for charity. - Imam Ali(a.s) ate only dry bread in-spite of having the means. This was to maintain the lowest level so that even the poor people of the society could relate to him. - Imam Ali(a.s) is an eternal example for the Muslim world and the wise people of the world. - Islam does not believe in complete isolation in order to enhance spirituality. - We can use the luxury of this world but not become its slave. - Islam only believes in temporary isolation known as ‘iteqaf’ - What we need to be careful of is the ‘greed’. - Example of the fly that sits on the sugar and of the fly that sits on honey. - We should not submerge into the luxury of this world and become its slave. - Quote of passages from dua # 8 and #39 of the 4th Imam from Sahifa Sajjadiyya.
