How a Believer Responds to Financial Hardship | PODCAST | Sh. Ahmed Umar #AMAU

A man told the Sheikh he had $240,000 available on credit cards. After losing his job, he returned with $40,000 in debt. But what if you always pay your card off on time? Why does the Sheikh still warn against it? In Episode 2 of The Believer’s Response, Sheikh Ahmed Umar joins Brother Shahid Hassan to discuss the money decisions facing Muslim households: buying a home, paying for university and finding better ways to earn without relying on Riba. They examine the Prophet’s ﷺ guidance on the best ways to earn wealth, overlooked means of increasing rizq, and why helping others matters even when you are struggling yourself. The discussion also asks why financial relief may be delayed despite your du’a, and how to start putting things right if your finances already involve riba.
