Are you familiar with Zakat?
Very generally explained, it is the charitable donation that Muslims are required to make, and forms one of the five Pillars of Islam.
It's expected that an observant muslim should donate around 2.5% of their 'wealth' or 'assets' to a charitable cause.
So if one man has $1million in assets, he donates $25,000 dollars to charity each year.
If another man has $25,000 in assets, he donates £625 to charity each year.
Just because the first man has more to give, does not mean his contribution is more personally valuable. And just because the second man has less to give, does not mean he does not feel the loss more keenly than the millionaire.
So don't worry about being judged by the arbitrary scales of others, and instead be proud that you are giving 60%, or 75%, or 100% of the spare time and effort you have to give. If your side loses, it's not on you.

my final for my religion and politics class is on Monday and one of the things we gotta know is abt Islamic banking and economics and zakat is mentioned in that topic lol
perhaps this is a sign from life to stop wasting time and continue studying 🫠
aside from all of that tho, im happy going either yoho or pot for the lynch
Both have been mentioned several times and im not particularly enthused by either
