For a human being, wealth is generally the main purpose of their life and life. From waking up to going back to sleep, many of the people who make up their minds are mere assets. About how to get assets, how to maintain the assets that have been owned, about how to develop assets that are already in hand. And so on from various branches of thought about wealth. So that all their movements of life are only centered on assets and assets.

No exception for those of us who claim to be Muslim entrepreneurs, we are often carried away by such thoughts. Even though we know that our lives are only temporary and will not bring wealth, still our hearts are often centered on one of the world's jewels. Laa haula wa laa quwwata illaa billaah, ...

O my brother, fellow Muslim businessman, ... Maybe it's time we as Muslim entrepreneurs re-think about what our purpose in life is?

Is it really true to carry out the task as a servant of God? Or has it changed to become a servant of wealth and jewelry in the world? Do the assets that we can become intermediaries get a paradise, or have they become the main purpose of our lives and lives? Is wealth a slave to us, or do we become slaves of the world?

Let us introspect. Look at ourselves. Is our worship obstructed because we are busy looking for world treasures? Is the time to demand knowledge erased and replaced with all kinds of livelihood activities? And so on, ... Ask each of us.

And if the answer is "yes", so, then meditate on Allah's warning in the Qur'an:

O you who believe, do not let your wealth and children neglect you from remembering Allah. Whoever does this, they are the losers. [Surat al-Munafiqun verse 9]

God has warned us not to be negligent because we pursue world wealth. What we will actually leave, we will not take a penny with us to the burrow. So set aside our time for worship, not to be a negligent servant of remembering God because of looking for property. Then afterwards, we follow the instructions of Rabbani in the next verse:

And spend part of what We have given you before death comes to one of you; then he said: "O my Rabb, why hast thou not suspended (death) unto a near time, which caused me to give charity and I am including the righteous?" [Surat al-Munafiqun verse 10]

After we set aside our time to worship, do all the obligations and add to the various recommended sunnah, also set aside some of the assets that we have gotten as stock back. Do not let us be stingy, miserly, naughty, to spend some of the blessings that God has given us. Do not let us be like the person mentioned in the verse above, that is to be a person who regrets when death comes, because he rarely gives charity during his life in the world, and regrets that he rarely does good, even though he has had the opportunity during his lifetime.


Because remember my brother, our time is limited, so don't let us regret when our time is up, don't come to the end we cry loudly, ...

And Allah will not delay (death) someone when the time of his death has come. And Allah knows what you do. [Surat al-Munafiqun verse 11]

God, always make it easy and bless our commerce, and our whole lives.
