Doing Business for Allah Ta’ala

We have the option of doing business just to see digits turning and to gain material progress, and the other is that you are doing it purely for the sake of Allah Ta‘ala and in the manner that is pleasing to Allah Ta‘ala. When this is the outlook, then Allah Ta‘ala becomes yours, and if you do it for the material then you will get the material. If you do it for Allah Ta‘ala then you will get Allah Ta‘ala and Allah Ta‘ala is forever, so He will see to you forever. The material will only see to you for as long as it lasts. Otherwise, it will not bring that honour and respect that you are desirous of.
