The wisdom behind placing the jihad of wealth before the jihad of the self in the verse of repentance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In all the verses of the Qur'an, Allah placed the jihad of wealth before the jihad of the self, except in the verse of repentance. Does this indicate that the jihad of wealth is better than the jihad of the self, and how is the jihad of wealth carried out?
The Shaykh:
The jihad of the self is undoubtedly better. It is better than the jihad in water.
The questioner:
But it was placed first, and Allah knows best, because souls are stingy with wealth and miserly with wealth. Yes.
