Get Rich Or Die Trying || Imam Siraj Wahhaj || Sept 18, 2014

"Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you. Until you visit the graveyards." [Qur'an 102:1-2]
Wealth, while one of the greatest blessings that mankind has been given, is at the same time one of the greatest trials and temptations. It is mentioned in the Holy Quran, "Your wealth and your children are only a trial. And Allah - With Him is a great reward (Paradise)." [Qur'an 64:15] Furthermore it is mentioned, "And know that your possessions and your children are but a trial (fitnah) and that surely with Allah is a mighty reward." [Qur'an 8:28] Hence, every material possession is only a test and a trial. To make this test even more difficult, the value of wealth is raised high above most other worldly goods. Almost every person has a strong craving for wealth.
A person cannot remain upon two divergent paths, or retain a tight grip on two items moving in opposite directions. Given that the path to fulfillment of illicit worldly desires and the path to the pleasure of Allah travel in different directions, excessive love of wealth risks compromising obedience to Allah, and the blessings to be gained from seeking His pleasure.

Happiness Now, and Forever [22:15] If anyone thinks that GOD cannot support him in this life and in the Hereafter, let him turn completely to (his Creator in) heaven, and sever (his dependence on anyone else). He will then see that this plan eliminates anything that bothers him. [22:16] We have thus revealed clear revelations herein, then GOD guides whomever He wills. [47:31] We will certainly put you to the test, in order to distinguish those among you who strive, and steadfastly persevere. We must expose your true qualities.

[@BestIsntEasy]

The Messenger's Language [14:4] We did not send any messenger except (to preach) in the tongue of his people, in order to clarify things for them. GOD then sends astray whomever He wills, and guides whomever He wills.

ASA, Thanks for this; just a note - the surah reference in the description isn't right - it should be 102 (not 120)

The majority of people alive are poor so it makes sense that the majority of people in heaven would also be poor. The only way that this would not be true is if money had some bearing on whether a person is good or not, which it doesn't. For example. After a car crash a man saves another from a burning car. We would all think that man to be good. If we learn that he is wealthy or poor it makes no difference in our estimation of this man's act. Your possessions or lack there of mean nothing about you being good or evil. If you want to be good do good things. This is also why the wise man has everything he needs and is in need of a great deal whereas the fool has nothing he needs and is in need of nothing.

☎️ Hebrews 7:23-24 Under the old arrangement there had to be many priests so that when the older ones died off, the system could still be carried on by others who took their places. But Jesus lives forever and continues to be a Priest so that no one else is needed."

1 Corinthians 6:1-2 The Passion Translation Lawsuits between Believers 6 Furthermore, how dare you take a fellow believer to court! It is wrong to drag him before the unrighteous to settle a legal dispute. Isn’t it better to take him before God’s holy believers to settle the matter? 2 Don’t you realize that we, the holy ones, will judge the universe?[a] If the unbelieving world is under your jurisdiction, you should be fully competent to settle these trivial lawsuits among yourselves. AMP Does any one of you, when he has a complaint (civil dispute) with another [believer], dare to go to law before unrighteous men (non-believers) instead of [placing the issue] before the saints (God’s people)? AMPC Does any of you dare, when he has a matter of complaint against another [brother], to go to law before unrighteous men [men neither upright nor right with God, laying it before them] instead of before the saints (the people of God)?

[9:55] Do not be impressed by their money, or their children. GOD causes these to be sources of retribution for them in this life, and (when they die) their souls depart while they are disbelievers.

[@alphijosephk2266]

Islam has only one prophet...!!! He is Mohammed...!!! Islam will say about the rest of the Prophets in Bible to misguide the World that it is following the same Prophetic Heritage...!!! But most of those Prophets are from Jewish Tribe and Islam is maintaining hostility towards Jews...!!! Islam has no respect and regard towards those Prophets mentioned in Bible...!!! Islam in their prayer said only about Mohammed...!!! Again for misguiding the World, Islam celebrating Festival of Sacrifice as Hajj to claim Abraham as one of Islam's Prophets...!!! Similarly Islam is claiming Jesus as one of his Prophet, but Islam has no respect or regard to Jesus Christ and his Commands...!!! Fundamentally Islam is propagating Hypocrisy...!!!
