A Lesson About Money I Wish We Learned at School.




Most of us were taught a similar formula growing up:

Study hard → get a good job → earn more → feel secure.


But real life often proves it’s not that simple.

One book that quietly challenged my thinking around money and work is Rich Dad Poor Dad. Not because it offers shortcuts or guarantees — but because it reframes how we understand income, assets, and long-term security.


The central idea is surprisingly simple:

There’s a difference between working for money and building systems where money works for you.


What stood out to me most:

A high income doesn’t automatically create wealth

Financial education is rarely taught, yet deeply necessary

Assets and liabilities are often misunderstood

The habits and beliefs we pass on matter more than we realize


The 20th Anniversary Edition reflects on how these ideas have played out over time — through economic shifts, market cycles, and changing career landscapes. Many of the lessons feel even more relevant today, especially in a world where traditional job security is no longer guaranteed.


You don’t have to agree with everything in the book to benefit from it.

Its real value lies in encouraging critical thinking about money, ownership, and personal responsibility.

Sometimes, growth starts not with earning more — but with thinking differently.


Curious to hear your thoughts:

What book has most changed the way you think about money or career growth?

The consequences of not paying Zakat!

  The consequences of not paying Zakat! All the decrees of Allah are for the universal welfare of man. Every command and prohibition of Allah Ta'ala has two types of results or consequences.

Consequences of not paying Zakat: First of all: Since the wealth of the rich has the right of the poor and destitute, if Zakat is not paidProperty remains the property of others. As a result it is not holy. Allah does not bless impure wealth and the possessor of that wealth is deprived of Allah's mercy. Not only that, the people who do not pay Zakat or Sadaqah, Allah sends worldly punishments like drought and famine on them. The Prophet (PBUH) said, "If a community refuses to give Zakat, Allah punishes them with famine" (Tabarani). Secondly:Rasulullah (SAW) said, "Whoever gives zakat in the hope of reward, there...
