1.         ‘Hirs-e-Mubah’ (Permissible greed): To desire to have abundant wealth without any intention, however, if this type of greed has a good intention, it will become a good greed and if it has bad intention then it will become a bad greed.

Dear Islamic brothers! We should use our greed for those acts that can bring us profits in this world and for the Hereafter. This good quality is found only in greed for doing good deeds, because this greed becomes a cause of a person’s forgiveness and a source of taking him to the high levels of Paradise. This has been persuaded in the Holy Quran:

وَ  سَارِ عُوۡۤ ا   اِلٰی   مَغۡفِرَ ۃٍ    مِّنۡ   رَّبِّکُمۡ   وَ جَنَّۃٍ

عَرۡ ضُہَا  السَّمٰوٰتُ   وَ  الۡاَرۡضُ  ۙ    اُعِدَّ تۡ    لِلۡمُتَّقِیۡنَ    ﴿۱۳۳﴾ۙ

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: And rush towards forgiveness from your Lord, and towards a Paradise that can hold all the Heavens and the earth in its width - prepared for the pious. (Part 4, Surah Aal-e-‘Imran, verse 133)

On page 53, volume 2 of Siraat-ul-Jinaan, it has been mentioned in the Tafseer (commentary) of this blessed verse: Hurry towards forgiveness from your Rab عَزَّوَجَلَّ and towards Paradise by repenting of sins, performing actions which have been made obligatory by Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, acting upon good deeds and by creating sincerity in all our deeds.

Mentioning the virtues of good deeds, the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has also persuaded us in this regard. The Prophet of Rahmah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: ‘اَحۡرِصۡ عَلٰي مَا يَنۡفَعُكَ وَاسۡتَعِنۡ بِاللّٰهِ وَلَا تَعۡجِزۡ’ Desire that thing which benefits you, beg Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ for help and do not be disappointed.

(Sahih Muslim, pp. 1432, Hadees 2664)
