💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 "Indeed the intelligent person is the one whose intelligence is known through his actions,
not necessarily by his eloquence and statements.
And similarly the leader - he is the leader through his good example and character,
not necessarily by his clan and followers.
And in the same way, the wealthy person is the one who is enriched from within and contented with himself,
not necessarily by his kingdom and wealth."
From the poetry of Imam Ash-Shaafi'ee
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Wealth is not in having many possessions. Rather, true wealth is the richness of the soul."

📖 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 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."
