๐ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
๐ All the riches of Qarun / Korah couldn't save him
From dying and gradual destruction through misguidance.
Think of past celebs who died while they were affluent,
Did their costly outfits, classy cars and large mansions
Follow their corpses underground or benefit them?
~•~
What's the point of enjoying a life of opulence
When a slave is deprived of Allah's Love and Guidance?
Don't they know that earth and its joys are not permanent,
That Allah created us mainly to worship Him,
And that delight in Jannah is more everlasting?
~•~
In working to earn halal income there's no problem.
What is wrong is to regard money as evidence
That Allah loves you, while financially struggling
Implies that you're unloved and deficient in blessings,
When many from the poor shall deserve Jannah's entrance.
~•~
While it's fine to work for Allah and help your loved ones,
Don't form opinion that having wealth in abundance
Proves that you're one of Allah's most devoted servants.
The Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) before didn't reside in
Towers and castles yet Allah the Most Kind loves him.

๐ Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Perish the slave of Dinar, Dirham, Qatifa (thick soft cloth), and Khamisa (a special garment), for if he is given (wealth), he is pleased; otherwise (if he does not receive wealth) he is dissatisfied."
Sahih Al-Bukhari 6435 | In-book: Book 81, Hadith 24 |(English): Vol. 8, Book 76, Hadith 443
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 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."
