From rags to riches. Unlocking the potentials from the heavens.

I was at a grocery store to buy some provisions. Meet up with their store assistant to ask on where are the goods being placed, she did answered me BUT without looking at me. This is because she was simply busy texting her hand phone. She was able to ignore a customer in front of her for the sake of someone who she can’t see physically. 

While reading the Al Quran translation, I came across this surah namely Surah Saba’ versus 24.

Now, why does ALLAH SWT mention that rezki comes from the heavens? It’s simply because those who are able to unlock potentials from the heavens will surely be rich and famous. Look at Ananda Krishnan (AK). Isn’t he one of the richest person in Asia simply by controlling the heavens with this Astro and Maxis company. Let’s compare this to the a person who sells pre-paid card at some corridor. Now, who makes the most profit? Certainly AK.

Let’s look at Airasia, a company who just started with just a few planes now plans to purchase more than 100 planes. He even has his own F1 team and even a football club. Now, let’s take a look at the top 5 riches football clubs in the world.

#	Football clubs	Value in USD
1	Manchester United	$2.23 billion
2	Real Madrid	$2.23 billion
3	Barcelona	$1.31 billion
4	Arsenal	$1.29 billion
5	Bayern Munich	$1.23 billion

Didn't they make their money by selling their broadcasting rights and we are willing to pay huge sums just to watch out favourite team play.

How do we want to tap into this potential? For businesses, they simply need to utilize the Internet for their business. By using the Internet, they can reach to the en masses breaking cultural and geographical boundaries. It’s low cost, easy to manage and simply you’re the captain of your ship. 

What I do hope? I do hope that we Muslims can utilize and tap into this potential. Probably I do hope companies such as Tabung Haji and Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar’s company can look forward to invest in this money-making industry for the betterment of the Muslims.
