BUSINESS COACHING PROGRAMME

THE year 2008 is ending. So is the year 1429 Hijriah.
What have we done for ourselves and our ummah this year? Have we taken so much for ourselves but forgot about our brothers and sisters out there?

My previous posting on Umm Ryan's article reminded me of our journey to akhirat/akhirah.
Rasullulah S.A.W once asked Aisyah r.a., how much meat did she give away to her friends. She replied that they only have a small portion left. The larger portion have been given away as sadaqah.

My brothers and sisters, you see, the amount you give away for sadaqah or charity IS your deposit for your place in paradise. The balance that you have in your hand does not guarantee you a place as yet. This is because, you would not know yet for what purpose you are spending the money on.

Abdullah ibn Mas’ood radi Allahu anhu said, “Store your wealth where no worms will eat it, where it cannot be reached by thieves. Store it in sadaqah.”

Umm Al-Mu’mineen Aisha radi Allahu anha once met a poor woman who was with her two daughters. Aisha radi Allahu anha gave her three dates. The woman gave each of the daughters one date and took one for herself. She was about to eat the date when one of her daughters expressed the desire to eat her date. She immediately shared the date among her daughters. This kind treatment impressed Aisha radi Allahu anha, and she related the whole incident to RasulAllah sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam. After listening to the whole story, RasulAllah sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam said, "Verily, Allah has assured Paradise for her because of this act or has rescued her from the fire of Hell." Indeed, not only are we giving zakah and sadaqah to cleanse ourselves; we do so in order to protect ourselves from Hellfire. (excerpts from Khutbah.com)

To give away for sadaqah, let us be rich instead of being poor. Let us be the giver instead of the receiver. In today's world, being in control of the economy is important. We need to help our other brothers and sisters who are really in need, especially in the part of the world that we are living.

For the above purpose, Tuhfah Resources will be organising a business coaching programme catering to current business owners or in Malay, we say 'usahawan'.

This programme is only limited to 12 persons only and will be held at my office in Pinggiran Batu Caves, Selangor. Do look out for the date, time and the coaching fee in this blog , soon.
