Since keeping money aside to be spent later is also allowed, I'll be one of those who won't necessarily spend it all in one go. :)
I feel, we have several kinds of duties towards each other, so I will try to deal accordingly.
1) duty towards parents and siblings
2) duty towards neighbors
3) duty towards relatives
4) duty towards our community
5) duty towards Muslims
6) duty towards human beings in general
There was this one particular Hadith, I was trying to recall and found it, it explains well what I was trying to achieve with my statement above. Here is the link:
http://www.defenderofsunnah.com/hadeeth/riyad-us-saliheen/1-by-1-riyad-us-saliheen/774-the-book-of-miscellany-chapter-1/2709-hadith-6-sadaqah-charity
- I often had this thought of having a huge garden, where different kind of fruits, vegetables and flowers are planted and to which everyone has access to. We had this thing at high school, our school had it's own garden and would use its fruit to feed us students. So something similar would be nice.
- A school so that people (especially the poor and the needy) gain knowledge - worldly and on Islam
- To build an area, where the poor can find a place to live and to find ways to integrate them in some kind of useful work.
- To provide those who have always wanted to go for a pilgrimage with required financial (or other kind of) assistance.
Apart from all that which is mentioned above:
- I'd like to have my own hotel/resort. :)
Yeiks, I think for all this one million might not be enough :p But yes, ultimately, I'll try to use money in ways that it will benefit not only other human beings, but also benefit me in long-run, inshaAllah.
