I am a young man who is very poor financially. How can I come to have money?
It is recommended to fear Allah the Almighty, strive to acquire provision, and take the necessary means. Fearing Allah, frequent seeking of forgiveness, steadfastness, and supplication are among the most important reasons for provision and wealth, as stated in the Almighty's words: "And said, 'Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He is ever Forgiving. He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in [copious] showers. And give you increase in wealth and children and make for you gardens and make for you rivers.'" (Quran 71:10-12), and His words: "And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him a way out. And will provide for him from where he does not expect." (Quran 65:2-3). It is also recommended to recite the supplication authentically narrated from the Prophet, peace be upon him: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from disbelief, poverty, and the torment of the grave. There is no god but You," and "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from disbelief and poverty... Settle our debts and enrich us from poverty."
