On Bait'ul-Maal
Alhamdulillah, Summa
Alhamdulillah, I continue today
the fourth part of my sermon on Financial Sacrifice.
Today, we will delve
into the meaning of the Bait'ul-Maal? The expression “Bait'ul-Maal”
is a combination of two words, namely “Bait” (which means “House”) and “al-Maal”
(which means “the Wealth”). The meaning of this compound name literally means
“House of Wealth” or “Treasury House”, where wealth is accumulated and
preserved.
Today we know the Bai'ul-Maal as a record of many financial transactions, whether it is in businesses, in governments, and especially also in the field of the Deen of Islam where many people contribute and all are recorded in many well detailed books and even deposited in the bank.
