Dangerous Wolves
As much damage as two hungry wolves cause to an unprotected flock of sheep, even more damage is caused to a person’s faith by loving money and fame.
اللہُ اَکْبَر Dear Islamic brothers! By means of this excellent example, the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم indicated towards the destructions wealth and status can bring to one’s faith and warned us to save ourselves from them.
Love of wealth and status leads to hypocrisy
The Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, “Love of wealth and desire for status gives rise to hypocrisy in the heart, similar to how water causes vegetables to grow.”[1]
May Allah protect us from the love of wealth and fame.
اٰمِیْن بِجَاہِ النَّبِیِّ الْاَمِیْن صلَّی اللہ عَلَیْہِ واٰلہٖ وسلَّم
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
As explained by scholars of Islam, there are two scenarios regarding the love of money.
The first type is when someone has the love of wealth in his heart and wishes to get rich overnight. He wants businesses, mansions, an impressive bank balance, and expensive cars. Despite this love of money, he does not resort to haram actions in order attain his dream.
