๐ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
๐ Reassuring those who reside in simple houses,
Those whose residence can't be described as "luxurious",
Those who don't have fixed homes and where they rest are rented,
Those who sleep in small rooms on overused mattresses,
And who aren't rich: Jannah's our home. Be contented.
~•~
Accept what Allah chose to give. With Islam we're blessed.
Poverty or meager means may be from Allah's tests.
Recall how Allah's noble Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) lived,
Content with sleeping on the floor, on a rough mattress,
Satisfied with a lifestyle that isn't so lavish.
~•~
Those whom Allah granted wealth, who stay in mansions big,
Whose dwellings cost thousands with lounges richly furnished,
Aren't worth admiring if they're not rightly guided,
If they don't cleanse their money by being generous,
And if richness won't benefit them when they're buried.
~•~
Spacious abodes on earth and swimming pools are useless
On Judgment Day when we'll be asked about what we did.
We won't be questioned on fancy things we collected
Nor how many guests did one's luxury home impressed,
But how we served Allah with Imaan and deeds righteous.
~•~
Alhamdulillah for the countless gifts Allah gives,
Like guidance to Islam and 'Aqeedah that's correct,
Chances to do Tawbah and please Allah through kindness,
Awareness, not known to most, that dunya is short-lived,
And in Jannah Paradise is neverending bliss.

๐ Umar Ibn Al-Khattab RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: I entered the room of the Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam while he was lying on his side over a mat. I sat down as he drew up his lower garment and he was not wearing anything else. The mat had left marks on his side. I looked at the Prophet’s cupboard and I saw a handful of barely in a small amount, the same of mimosa leaves in the corner, and a leather bag hanging to the side. My eyes started to tear up, and the Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "What makes you weep, son of Khattab?" I said, “O Prophet of Allah, why should I not cry that this mat has left marks on your side and I see little in this cupboard? Caesar and Khosrau live among fruits and springs, while you are the Messenger of Allah and His chosen one, yet this is your cupboard.” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "O son of Khattab, are you not pleased that ours is the Hereafter and for them is the world?" I said, “Of course.”

๐ 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."
