Book Name:Nekiyon kay Harees

رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی used to travel in the path of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ by sacrificing their lives, wealth and family members for the propagation of Islam, but we are drowned in the love for wealth and use Haraam sources and therefore we are destroying our Hereafter. Alas! Today we do not worry at all for the progress and propagation of Islam, which we received after countless sacrifices of the blessed Companions and saints.

Remember! Very soon we have to die and enter a dark grave and we shall reap what we have sowed. Therefore, considering the life we have today sufficient we should wake up to this fact and associate ourselves with the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami in order to perform good deeds and abstain from sins. Travel with Madani Qafilahs to acquire Islamic knowledge. Act upon the Madani In’amaat and regularly attend the weekly Sunnah-inspiring Ijtima’ and Madani Muzakarahs of Dawat-e-Islami. By virtue of its blessings, abundant opportunities of performing many good deeds will be found, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Definition of greed

Dear Islamic brothers! Greed can be defined as not being content with anything and always wanting more, this person is called greedy. For example, to desire abundant wealth; this passion or desire is called greed, while the person who becomes a victim of this passion, is ‘a greedy person’.

(Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 7, pp. 86)

 

It is generally understood that greed is only related to ‘money and wealth’, but this is actually not the case, because greed is excessive desire for absolutely anything, whether money or anything else. Anyone who desires more wealth will be classed as ‘greedy for wealth’, and the one who desires more food will be classed as ‘greedy for food’. The one who desires more good deeds will be classed as ‘greedy for good deeds’, and the one who desires to increase his burden of sins will be classed as ‘greedy for sins’.
