🚫 Trading Without Knowledge – A Warning from the Past 📚

One of the most powerful lessons from our tradition comes from Omar ibn al-Khattab (radhi Allahu anhu), who did not allow people to trade in the market until they had knowledge, particularly of what is halal and haram in business dealings. His leadership was rooted in protecting people not just from financial harm, but harm to their religion as well.

Today, many jump into business deals, crypto trades, investments, and transactions without any concern for permissibility. The drive for profit often outweighs the duty to ensure the transaction is lawful in Islam.

🧠 Knowledge must come before action.

💸 Permissibility must precede profit.

Let us not forget: we are accountable for every pound and dollar we earn and spend. Let’s revive the mindset of Omar (radhi Allahu anhu) in our dealings. Learn first, act later.
