Poem: True Wealth Is In Faith/Imaan And Contentment.


💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Wealth isn't significant sign Allah loves someone.
Ability to practice kindness is evident
A person's income is a blessing, not distraction.
When Allah loves you, He'll guide you to be kind often.
~*~
Even though you may not own a grandiose mansion
With polished floors and grand chandeliers on high ceilings,
Although you don't collect the most expensive garments,
You can still feel wealthy with patience and contentment.
~*~
Attain peace by accepting what Allah has destined.
Train yourself to be stronger in faith and more patient,
Recalling Jannah's your goal, this world's not your mission,
And dunya's pleasures are fleeting, not everlasting.
~*~
Keep in mind, in your grave good deeds are your companions.
So continue serving Allah with right intention,
Regardless of how much are kept in your bank account.
Ensure that your earnings come through means which are allowed.
~*~
You can be rich in your heart by spreading peace around,
Positive vibes and sincere smiles to those you surround.
Give advice, share knowledge, or brighten up souls with scowls,
Or mention someone's name in your Du'as not aloud.
~*~
Get rich through gratitude for what Allah has given,
And use the gifts to serve Him so they become blessings.
Don't make yourself feel poor through constant comparison.
Accept the fact each soul's exams can be different.
~*~
Enrich your heart with faith/Imaan and perseverance.
Don't attach it to dunya's deceiving adornments.
Show greed in learning Islam so your soul is strengthened.
To see Allah in Jannah is our main ambition.

📖 Abu Dharr RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “O Abu Dharr, do you say an abundance of possessions is wealth?” I said 'yes'. The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “Do you say a lack of possessions is poverty?” I said 'yes'. The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam repeated this three times, then he SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Wealth is in the heart and poverty is in the heart. Whoever is wealthy in his heart will not be harmed no matter what happens in the world. Whoever is impoverished in his heart will not be satisfied no matter how much he has in the world. Verily, he will only be harmed by the greed of his own soul."
