Hadith Rizq & Provision Debt & Financial Obligations Business Ethics Tawakkul Taqwa Quranic Stories Tawhid

About this lecture

In this khutbah, Sheikh Abu Usamah reminds the congregation that wealth is the greatest fitnah of this ummah, and that every person's rizq has already been written and guaranteed by Allah — making theft, fraud, and anxiety over provision spiritually and practically unjustifiable. Drawing on Quranic stories of Maryam and a powerful hadith from Sahih al-Bukhari about a man from Bani Israel, the sheikh calls Muslims to repay their debts, maintain halal earnings, and place their full tawakkul in Allah as the ultimate Provider.

Abu Usamah was born in New Jersey in 1964. He embraced Islam in 1986 and went onto studying in the Islamic University of Madina for eight years where he graduated from the College of Da'wah and Usool-ad-Din. Abu Usamah has been very active in da'wah since the day he embraced Islam. He has been the Imam of various mosques in the United States and in the United Kingdom. His zeal and eagerness in conveying the true message of Islam has lead him to many parts of the world, delivering lectures and seminars, as well as translating for many scholars and du'aat from the Arab world. Abu Usamah has been blessed in studying with some of the greatest scholars of our time, to name a few, Shaikh Umar Fulaatah at the Rawdah of the Prophets Mosque, Shaikh Muhammad 'Atiyyah Saalim (author of Tafsir 'Adwaa ul-Bayaan'), Shaikh Abdullah Muhammad al-Ghunaymaan, Shaikh Muhammad al-Jaami, Shaikh Saalih al-Fawzaan and many more. He was also very fortunate to have spent two summers in intensive study under Shaikh Ibn Baaz and Shaikh Ibn Uthaymin.
