How should a Muslim manage his wealth, and how can he grow and preserve it without displeasing Allah?
Money is a blessing if used in obedience to Allah, and a curse if used for evil or if it distracts from obedience; hence, there are warnings against the temptation of wealth.
Money becomes a blessing if it is earned lawfully and spent appropriately, and its owner is envied for it.
Among the ways to spend money for good are: building mosques, giving charity, sponsoring orphans, helping the needy, performing Hajj and , and supporting charitable projects. Indeed, a person's true wealth is what they have offered for the sake of Allah.
For the growth of wealth and its controls: inquire about the permissibility of transactions, beware of usurious banks and doubtful matters, avoid unlawful money, practice gradualism and contentment, beware of squandering wealth, and strive for truthfulness and trustworthiness in dealings.
