It’s almost the end of the year… and you know what that means.
No, I’m not talking about eggnog, boxing day sales, or holiday cookies.
I’m talking about new year’s resolutions. This is the time that we start thinking about what changes we’re going to make in our lives.
In this episode, we’ll explain why you should take the opportunity to think about how you can better manage your money in 2017.
041 – Reflections on Charity Course
In case you missed it, we released a free video course in Ramadan to help people give more charity.
The idea was simple: in Ramadan, many of us pay our zakat and strive to give more sadaqa. We wanted to build a course to help you plan your charitable giving — so you could give more than you thought possible.
040 – Ask Rizqwise: How much charity should I give?
Alhamdulillah, we’ve entered the last 10 days of Ramadan.
This is the time of year that most people like to pay their zakat and give additional charity.
But how much charity should you be giving? Well, there’s a long answer and a short answer.
039 – How to Give More Charity this Ramadan
When do you decide how much charity you’re going to give in Ramadan?
If you’re like most people, the honest answer is: at the very last moment.
It’s only when you’re asked to give, or the opportunity to give arises, that you decide how much you’re actually going to give.
And that’s a shame.
038 – What To Do When You Have Too Much Stuff
Do you ever say to yourself: “I really need to get rid of some stuff…”
You’re not alone.
Most of us have a dysfunctional relationship with our stuff. We buy more than we need, usually to fulfill some void that can’t be filled by stuff, and then we relegate that stuff to some corner of our homes and forget about it.
037 – Why Shopping is the Worst Hobby Ever
Ever go to the mall just for fun?
You wouldn’t be the first. The culture of shopping is something most of us grew up with… and therefore, don’t even think about.
036 – Five Reasons to Become a Minimalist
What’s all this fuss about minimalism?
Do a quick Google search and you’ll find pages and pages of blogs dedicated to helping people live simpler lives.
What exactly is behind all the hype? In his week’s episode, we explore the practical benefits of deciding to live a simpler life.
035 – The Sunnah of Minimalism (Part Two)
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
”The worldly comforts are not for me. I am like a traveller, who takes a rest under a tree in the shade and then goes on his way.”
In Part 2 of the Sunnah of Minimalism, we take a closer look at how the Prophet ﷺ chose to engage with the world… and the lessons we can learn from the way he lived.
034 – The Sunnah of Minimalism (Part One)
Is it wrong to have money?
As Muslims, we often find ourselves caught between two worlds. On one hand, the asceticism of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his companions is legendary. And we know very well that they are the examples we ought to follow.
On the other hand, we have to work hard to establish ourselves, support our families, and strengthen our communities.
How do we strike a balance?
033 – Interview: Let the Quran Speak
This week’s episode is a bit of a departure from our regularly scheduled programming.
The Rizqwise team was recently interview on Let the Quran Speak — a cable television show that airs on VisionTV in Canada (also available on YouTube)
