It is narrated: A pious person once found a gold brick.

In short, due to becoming rich he was lost in the fantasy of comforts and luxuries and became totally heedless of his Lord that night. The next morning driven by the same desire he left home. By chance, he passed by a grave yard. What he saw was that a man was kneading clay on a grave for making bricks. Seeing this scene immediately he woke up to the fact and started weeping by imagining, ‘Perhaps people will make bricks from the earth of my grave as well after my death. Alas! My splendid houses and fine clothes etc., will become useless. So falling in love with gold brick means to spend life heedlessly! If I have to fall in love, I have to fall in love with my Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.’ He left the gold brick and adopted contentment. (Booklet Ghaflat, pp. 1)

This parable contains admonitory lessons for those who are always greedy for wealth, forget to differentiate between Halal and Haraam wealth while satisfying the burning desire to accumulate wealth and find peace of life only in wealth. 

Remember! Medicines can be bought by wealth, but not cure. With wealth, you can find friends but not loyalty. One can live a good life through wealth, but cannot avoid death. Fame can be achieved by wealth, but not respect. Good houses, vehicles and nice clothes can be bought by wealth, but one
