sinners, with their sin collectively being upon the primary culprit who initiated this evil.^[1]

A saint رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه has said:

Circulating a counterfeit coin (or note through deceit) is worse than stealing 100 silver coins because theft is a single sin. As soon as a thief steals, the sin ceases. However, circulating counterfeit currency is a bad innovation and an evil practice that is perpetuated (it is possible that the person who was given the counterfeit note passes it on, and those who receive it forward it on to others; thus, the cycle continues, and it becomes an ongoing, continuous sin)."^[2]

O devotees of the Prophet! May Allah Almighty protect us from the calamity and harm of sins. Reflect upon this unfortunate situation. Just imagine how the person who initially circulated the counterfeit note might pass away, but the counterfeit note keeps circulating in the market. If this happens, it will continue to accumulate sin for him even in the grave. Alas! How unfortunate is the one lying in the grave who is still accumulating sins.

Become well-wishers!

O devotees of the Prophet! There is a very beautiful pearl of wisdom which if all of us implement in our lives, we will not only be saved from the sins committed via buying and selling but also from many other sins. What is this pearl of wisdom? The final Prophet of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:

لَا يُؤْمِنُ اَحَدُكُمْ، حَتَّى يُحِبَّ لِاَخِيْهِ مَا يُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِهِ
