Subject: Being That Poor..

As-Salaam alaikum,
As a Muslim, sometimes it makes sense to voluntarily confront poverty. This should come in the form of divesting oneself of possessions and putting oneself into a total dependency upon Allah's provision for one's everyday needs.
It is an act of will - - something one chooses to do, but also curiously, at the same time, it is a cultivation of non-neediness, of independence from all other than Allah. Says Sayyadi Ibn Arabi in his 'Futuhat al-Makkiyyah' :--
"Being poor toward Allah is a higher degree than being rich
through Him, and is an essential quality which is never removed.
He is rich beyond need, and you are poor/needy through Him, so that
you are rich through Him beyond need of the universe."
Bounty (jud) is proper for Allah Ta'ala, and poverty is proper for us, do be through Him... do not be except for Him, Jallah-Jalalahu.
