The natural flow of wealth

ALLAH IS ONE

Transcript

00:00When you look at your wealth, when your house degrades, how do you repair it?

00:03Calling in an expert. Hiring someone. Yeah. So you pay someone money to maintain it.

00:08So the poor are benefiting from your wealth by virtue of it just degrading.

00:11So if you were to emulate that with money, as in this poor person or this other

00:15person who needs money, he brought in to you to wax the hull of your ship or to

00:19buff your car or to maintain your engine. So he's benefiting by you just having

00:23your wealth, except money. There's no way for him to benefit from your money

00:26unless we impose that in there with Zakah. So the poor or the needy or

00:30whatever, they still benefit from you having money. So essentially you've by

00:33virtue of Zakah, Zakah is the way of balancing the scales with all your

00:37wealth. All your wealth by virtue of you having the wealth benefits the poor in a

00:42trickle-down motion. By you having it, it just trickles down to the rest of the

00:46people. Whereas interest does the complete opposite. It allows you to suck up the value

00:51from the poor back up to you. So it's unnatural, it's unhealthy and it's

00:55destructive. It's literally the opposite of Zakah. It's not just the opposite of Zakah, it's the

00:58opposite of how Allah created everything. Everything degrades, everything by

01:02entropy destroys itself. What does entropy even mean? All entropy means when

01:06you have tea, your wife makes you tea and she adds milk. The moment that milk hits that

01:09tea, that milk is localised in a location. Over time, through entropy, the milk

01:14dissipates so it encompasses the whole cup of tea. It averages out everywhere. So

01:19entropy means to average out, to become uniform. That's the opposite of wealth. I have

01:23accumulated wealth because I've got skills, I've got business and it's accumulated into a

01:27little pile. Over time, entropy lets it flow outwards to those who don't have.

01:32What interest does is the complete opposite. It sucks it backwards.

01:35It's just like you can't turn back time. Here's a question from the scientist

01:38asked, what causes time to go forward not backwards? Entropy. I'm not going to

01:42the science of it but entropy is what causes things to go forward and not

01:46backwards. It causes you to, for example, you can't un-stir a cup of tea. This is called

01:50Likewise, interest is the complete opposite of how Allah created creation.

01:54Okay. It's unnatural.
