Imam Ibn Hajar عَـلَیْـهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الْاَکۡـبَر has stated: Wealth is neither completely good nor utterly bad in all cases. In fact, sometimes it is commendable and at times it is contemptible. Therefore, if someone acquires wealth in excess of his requirements, it is as if he has offered himself to be doomed because man has a natural tendency which prevents him from guidance and leads him towards carnal desires and lusts. And wealth plays a key role in it. Hence excessive wealth poses severe hazards in this situation. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه further quoted a Hadees of the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, ‘May the slave of dirham and dinar be doomed!’
(Sunan Ibn Majah, vol. 4, pp. 441, Hadees 4136)
Dear Islamic brothers! If only Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ showers mercy on us eliminating love for wealth from our hearts and enabling us to ponder over the betterment of our afterlife rather than brooding over the accumulation of worldly wealth! May the following prayer be answered!
Qaleel rauzi pay do qana’at
Fuzool goyi say day do nafrat
Durood perhnay ki bas ho ‘aadat
Nabi-e-Rahmat, Shafi’-e-Ummat
Translation: O Prophet of Rahmah and Intercessor of Ummah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! Bless me with contentment with diminished
