Poor mindset

Re: Poor mindset

Prophet had a major mission to accomplish, which was a bigger priority for him than doing a business. Of course when you have no source of income, your lifestyle would be humble. That does not mean that living a poor lifestyle should be taken as sunnat of prophet that we need to follow. Prophet Suleman and Prophet Yousuf were kings and very rich. If being poor was something noble then all the prophets would be picked from poor families.

Yet if being poor was such a bad thing and added no good to the society then God would not have chosen a poor man as a seal of Prophet-hood and best of creations. He would’ve been a King or a good businessman. Working hard and earning halal money earning is a good thing but striving for materialism is not, and this is how your posts come across. Muslims are told to follow the Quran and Sunnat of Prophet Muhammad pbuh not the Sunnat of Prophet Yousuf and Suleman (if there is such thing). Who decides which sunnat we should follow and which sunnat we reject, ridicule and demonise? The question is simple, if Prophet’s, his family and majority of his companions way of living was selfish, useless and outdated then did the Quran elevate their status? Something definitely doesn’t sound right…
