I remember hearing a scholar once say, anybody who works as an employee has a difficiency in their aqidah (yaqeen specifically). Because overtime, you begin to tie your rizq with your employment, especially since you are paid the same amount each month.
Conversely, a business owner is always hoping and praying to Allah to facilitate for him more customers and increase his business.
That hit me deep.
Hence, very important for us to constantly remind ourselves that Allah is our Provider and Sustainer and not some random employer.
Ibn Hazm (رحمه الله) said:
"How many people have we seen destroyed by their speech? Yet, we have not seen anyone destroyed, ever, by their silence. Don't utter anything except that which draws you closer to your Creator."

So. We have confirmation that Starlink is a client of Resolve. This means that the former Leader of the DA, facilitated a meeting with a prospective “tender” applicant which resulted in the Minister beginning changing rules to fit the requirements of said “bidder.”
That, my dears is corruption.
The same discipline used to build health is the same discipline used to build wealth.
Most men in the West lack discipline.

@Thuso1Africa It's the multinational fmcg corporates. They stand to take over a trillion rand informal spaza market with their container stores once the foreigners leave.
Imam Shafi رحمه الله said:
“When the people abandon you when you are in a time of distress,
then know that Allâh ﷻ wants to take over your affair
and [make you] suffice with Him as a Guardian.”

A man who reads old books cannot be fully captured by modern stupidity. He has dead kings, prophets, poets, killers, saints, drunks, generals, and madmen whispering in his bloodstream. The feed has no chance against this.
'Self-hating Jew'? Let me answer your rhetorical question so you don't have to ask it any more.

@IsmailKamdar Do something you can do in the morning before everyone wakes up. 4am - 6am E.g running.
Then spend a long time on that hobby in the morning on the weekend either Saturday or Sunday e.g long run 2 to 4 hours
@IsmailKamdar If I was a Muslim scholar I would probably lean to your opinion. Very close minded In SA especially KZN. If you in business there is ample opportunity. Especially in manufacturing, wholesale, fmcg. Property sizes are massive vs UK. Crime is high though. Depends what people value
