Want to be a Millionaire?

Assalaamu'alaikum to all viewers.


All praise to ALLAH that had give us the opportunity to breathe and live in good conditions until today. To begin my first motivation blog in Islamic ways, I would like to share to all of you about those who were the millionaires among the Sahabat of Rasulullah S.A.W and the role of the rich in Islam. 


Almost everyone wants to be rich, plus, becoming a millionaire. But nowadays, we are watching the millionaires from the western countries were lost in their lives, in the end of their lives.For instance, Leon Fraser, the President of "Bank Penempatan Antarabangsa" had killed himself by his own.Yet, they are still some of people right now who want to become rich and make them as their role model in becoming a millionaire, being motivated when reading about them, watching on them in television, despite of exploring the true millionaires in Islamic world that are the true millionaires that were more holier than the western millionaires..


Islam had raised up when the Arabians were in "jahiliyah" phase. In a glance, Rasulullah S.A.W. was successfully developed a very first Muslim community in the world after he had planted the true belief "'aqidah" firmly inside each of the Muslim. As the result of the grow of Muslims' economy, there were some figures of millionaire that become the true model of "muttaqin" millionaires.The figures are 'Abdul Rahman bin 'Auf, Uthman bin Affan, Khadijah binti Khuwailid and Abu Bakar al-Siddiq. What differs those figures with the western millionaires?


The most clearest different is the "muttaqin" millionaires were willing to donate, contribute most of their properties for the sake of the spread of Islam, moreover, some of them were guaranteed to live in heaven(jannah). So, aren't we feel motivated after knowing these?


Roles of the Rich People in Islam

B) Towards community

-contribute some of his properties for the development of infrastructure for the use of whole community.
- paying "property" zakat when the "haul" is enough.
- provide work opportunities to Muslims especially by providing the Islamic working environment.
- helping in relieving some disasters that occured via humanity help.


C) Towards Islam itself
-contribute("infaq") some funds in order to spread Islam to Muslims and Non Muslims by "da'wah" process that across the international border.
