End miserable voracity!
Gluttony and amoral materialism are the evils of the root that are facing the world today. Thirst without money end has deceived actually be human. The yearn to accumulate wealth even deceive, injuring or killing anyone! Finally, an end to despair to a life of discontent!
Many scams, horrible killings and financial deceptions etc that we hear every day, running the single underlying cause - gluttony.
Every moment, the warning of the Koran, the rivalry mutual to stack things of this world away from you, until you visit cemeteries (102:1, 2), is proven true.
Caliph Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) has reminded us: "Like alcohol, there is intoxication in wealth."
Man is delusional to money and alcohol as it gets easily reduced to slavery by their traps and find it cumbersome to unleash the links. Most of them are unable to offload these poisonings. Blessed are those who are released from the big of selfishness and greed. We should beg to be equipped with a spirit that does not hesitate to share our possessions with the needy.
Our beloved prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), ate dry bread, slept in a carpet torn, keeping his hand under the pillow. However, it has not itself make you cry. However, the Prophet of mercy (PBUH) burst into tears upon seeing a child poverty stricken. He has wrapped his eyes in distress in seeing those who were severely affected by the famine. A spirit that breaks to the pain of others while denigrating own afflictions, who has the gift of Prophet has advanced for us.
The great King Alexander, who conquered the land of Europe until Sindhi, was his last wish like that...
"When you wear my coffin to the grave, you will have to keep my hands hanging out coffin. Make the world that Alexander the great, who conquered the world, know the empty hands, like a beggar."
