In this short snippet from a Deeper Look: Surah Al-Ma'arij, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan explores one of the most misunderstood concepts in modern Muslim thought: wealth and self-worth. From the obsession with net worth and social media followers to the quiet internalized idea that being spiritual means shunning dunya, this talk dismantles it all.
He reflects on how the Quran distinguishes between hoarding wealth for its own sake versus building with purpose, citing the story of Dhul Qarnain (18:84–98) and other key examples. He challenges inherited misconceptions that equate money with evil, drawing attention to verses that encourage strategic economic strength in service of justice and goodness.
Islam does not call us to poverty. It calls us to purpose.
