It can be understood like this that a person is feeling very hungry; in front of her a cauldron of biryani is being cooked; the light pleasant aroma of the biryani is pleasing her heart and mind; her heart is attracted to it and it makes her mouth water; she feels like eating the whole cauldron, but in reality she will not eat much from it; only one plate of biryani will be sufficient for her. If she eats too much, even then she will not be able to eat after having two or three plates. Sometimes it also happens that we satiate our appetite, but not heart. We feel like eating more because it is very tasty, but we do not eat because we cannot eat any more since our stomach is full. Similarly, whatever we earn, whether we save millions, or rather billions, we will spend only that much by which we will be able to eat our fill. Similarly, we will use the length of cloth by which one suit can be made. In short, if we accumulate enormous worldly possessions and wealth, even then we will be able to use as much as we can and the rest will be left in the world.

The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘A bondman keeps on saying ‘my wealth, my wealth’ though he has only three parts in his wealth: One which he has finished by consuming, second which he has worn out and the third which he has given to someone else (in the path of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ) and saved. And apart from it whatever he has, all is going to finish and he is going to leave it for other people.’ (Sahih Muslim, Kitab-uz-Zuhd, pp. 1582, Hadees 2959)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب    صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Majlis for Traders (Islamic sisters)!

It is a fact that whatever we have saved in the world will be left here. Therefore, we should form our habit to give Sadaqah and charity as per our financial ability in order to dispel the love of the world from our hearts and attain blessing in Halal sustenance. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, by virtue of its blessings, the love of wealth will be dispelled from the heart. Moreover, the money that has been earned by Haraam means because of being greedy for earning more and more by forgetting to differentiate Halal from Haraam, can become troublesome for us in the world and the Hereafter both.
