The best form of abundance is not monetary, rather it is:
•Tranquility of the soul
•Healthiness of the body
•Purity of heart
•Soundness of thought
•Blessings of parents
•Unconditional love of Family
•Compassion of a spouse
•Devotion of a believer
Before this he was the type who’d get annoyed if someone breathed too loud while he was working lol.
He'd only sleep like 4 hours a night and would literally lose his s**t over emails.
We all just thought he hated his job (which is fair). Turns out his body was running on empty the whole time.
Morty: Capitalism gives everyone a chance to get rich if they just work hard enough.
Rick: Oh my god, Morty! Capitalism doesn't work if everyone wins. It needs poverty to function. Someone has to take the low-paying jobs so the profits keep flowing upward. If everyone had real financial security, no one would take those positions and the system would collapse.
Morty: But Rick, that's just how the market works. Some people earn more because they provide more value.
Rick: Tell that to the kid assembling your iPhone overseas for pennies while some CEO makes millions off it. Capitalism doesn't reward work, it rewards ownership. You don't climb the ladder by working hard, you climb it by owning the ladder. The workers collectively produce infinitely more value than some shareholder living in the Bahamas.
Morty: Okay, but isn't it about freedom People can still move up if they make good choices. Look at people who came from nothing and became successful, like entrepreneurs or celebrities.
Rick: Those are exceptions, idiot. That's why they're on TV. For every one person who makes it out, millions stay stuck because they never had the same luck, connections, or safety nets. The system needs those stories so people believe it's fair.
Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada spoke about the contradictions of human nature:
“Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don't appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.”
The key to happiness is gratitude: truly seeing and appreciating what we already have, and understanding that somewhere, someone would give anything for what we take for granted.
Why did Allah ask Maryam (AS) to shake the palm tree?
She was in labor. Weak. In pain.
And palm trunks are solid like stone.
She couldn't possibly move it.
Yet Allah said:
"Shake towards you the trunk of the palm tree..."
Why ask the impossible?
Allah could have dropped the dates without effort.
No shaking.
No pain.
No movement.
But He didn't.
Because miracles don't cancel effort. They meet it.
Maryam's (AS) strength wasn't in moving the tree.
It was in not giving up the attempt.
The tree didn't respond to her power.
It responded to her obedience.
Sometimes Allah doesn't ask you to succeed.
He asks you to try.
Even when you feel weak.
Even when the task feels too big.
Because trying keeps your heart alive. And effort keeps your faith awake.
If Allah sent the dates without the shake...
She would have eaten.
But she wouldn't have grown.
So when you're tired and still asked to take one step... That step is the worship.
Not the result.
That's why Allah ties provision to movement.
Even when He alone creates the outcome.
Maryam A.S didn't shake the tree.
She shook herself out of despair.
And Allah sent the fruit.
Your job is not to make miracles.
It is to move even when you feel small.
Allah handles the falling dates.
Within hours of Oman's Foreign Minister saying "Iran agreed to zero enriched uranium stockpiling", Israel immediately bombs Tehran & the US promptly joins
This can only mean it was NEVER about nuclear weapons & the US president is either compromised by Netanyahu or is using war to shape the midterm elections!
Nairobi has a special breed of hustlers.
Not your kawaida conmen.
These ones move like diplomats, talk like lawyers, dress like CEOs, and sell gold that doesn’t exist.
No rituals.
No Yahoo boys.
Just optics.
Because in the gold game, what you see is what traps you.
1KG of gold ≈ Ksh 10M.
So if someone tells you they can sell you 10–30Kgs, they must look like money.
And in Nairobi, looking like money is a science.
Step one: Appearance.
Suits. Clean shoes. Soft voice.
Executive drip. Seeing is believing.
Step two: The illusion of wealth.
Luxury cars.
High-end restaurants in Kilimani
Your mind already starts cooperating with the lie.
Then comes security.
Bodyguards.
Big men standing quietly, scanning the room.
In Kenya, umaharufu + security = authority.
And authority builds trust faster than facts.
Next layer: Connections.
Photos with “very important people.”
Government events. Conferences. Handshakes.
Most of these pictures are innocent…
But in your mind they scream:
“Huyu ako connected. Haezi kuwa con.”
That’s the trap.
Now the real game begins: the story.
You’re told about Congo, Mobutu, UN reports and smuggling routes via Uganda & Kenya
History is weaponized.
Facts are mixed with fiction until you can’t separate the two.
Documents appear.
Stamped. Typed. Complicated.
UN letters. Trade permits. Export approvals.
All fake but official enough to slow your brain.
As you read, your attention is deliberately overloaded with technical gold talk- Purity, Artisanal mines and refining standards
You stop questioning.
You start imagining profits.
Then comes the visit.
A “refinery.”
A demo.
Fire. Machines. Tests.
One small sample passes.
Your brain concludes:
“If one is real, all must be real.”
That assumption will cost you millions.
Now comes the first payment.
Transport. Logistics. Escrow. Lawyers.
You’re relaxed because:
“There’s a lawyer”
“The money is safe”
“It’s just facilitation”
But the lawyer is part of the play.
Your first payment?
That’s their salary.
Politics now enters the chat.
Names are dropped.
Security is “handled.”
Taxes. Customs. Levies.
Some names are fake.
Some are very real.
Either way, you feel protected.
Boxes arrive.
Heavy. Metallic. Sealed.
One box is tested.
The rest are assumed to be the same.
Inside? Stones. Scrap metal. Anything with weight.
Your trust fills in the gaps logic should occupy.
Final payment is demanded.
Export is “in progress.”
Boxes are “at JKIA.”
Then silence.
Then a call:
“There’s an emergency levy.”
You pay.
And just like that, your gold turns into air.
Meanwhile, the scammers are in clubs, at showrooms, buying Bentleys “for errands.”
Living loud.
Spending fast.
Cleaning the money is easy.
Some join politics.
Some run entertainment companies.
Concerts. Tickets. Campaigns.
Dirty money walks into society wearing a suit.
THE REAL LESSON
Gold scams don’t succeed because victims are stupid.
They succeed because confidence is louder than truth.
If a deal relies more on lifestyle, intimidation, urgency and “Connections” than verifiable systems, walk away!
Gold doesn’t rush you.
Scammers do.
I hope you learnt something.
Marriage delayed.
Career stuck.
Duas hanging in the air.
“Why is my life taking so long?”
I was reading Surah Yusuf
and Allah answered those question we ask at 3AM :
A leaked WikiLeaks cable from 2007 reveals some of UAE Mohammed bin Zayed’s views on free elections, Islam, Quran schools…. Pakistan…

Don’t buy an ATM.
Don’t buy a Laundromat.
Don’t buy Vending Machines.
Instead, buy this little device that turns any local business into a passive income machine.
Let me show you exactly how it works:
