The Importance of Financial Discipline and Charity in the IT Industry

By Tariq Pathan Published 5 months ago 2 min read

Many professionals in the IT industry face a common problem: despite earning a high income, they often struggle to find financial stability and blessings in their earnings. There are two main reasons for this issue:

Reason 1: Extravagant Spending

When IT professionals start earning more, they often develop a habit of extravagant spending, elevating their lifestyle without thinking about the future. They focus on fulfilling their desires rather than their needs.

Investing in Yourself:

As an IT professional, investing in yourself is crucial. This can include:

Upgrading your skills and knowledge ;

Investing in good equipment, such as a laptop or comfortable workspace;

Prioritizing Needs Over Wants :

It's essential to differentiate between needs and wants. Instead of spending on luxurious items, focus on investing in assets that can help you grow professionally and financially . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Reason 2: Lack of Charity

Another reason for the lack of blessings in earnings is the failure to give back to those in need. In Islam, it's recommended to give 2.5% of one's wealth to charity. By doing so, individuals can experience an increase in blessings and prosperity in their lives.

Giving to charity is not just about fulfilling a religious obligation; it's also about cultivating a sense of gratitude and compassion. By giving to those in need, individuals can experience a sense of purpose and fulfillment.
