Lalach Ka Anjaam

Book Name:Lalach Ka Anjaam

which a person gets every type of the world (worldly comforts). So the one who keeps himself away from both these things will stay away from the world.

Sayyiduna Imam Ghazali رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has narrated Arabic couplets the translation of which is as follows: I have found [this secret], so you do not presume any other thing either except this and do not think that this dirham [i.e. wealth] has piety. When you leave this wealth despite having it, you should know that your piety is the piety of a Muslim.

(Ihya-ul-‘Uloom, vol. 3, pp. 288)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب     صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic sisters! The love of wealth is a very devastating disaster! But Alas! Today, our society has been terribly stuck in the love of wealth. Whoever we see we find that she is obsessed with accumulating wealth and increasing her bank balance. The bad thought that ‘There should be money no matter how it is obtained’ has eliminated the difference between Halal and Haraam. There are people who have saved so much that if their seven generations spend it even then they will not run out of it, but the strong desire to accumulate wealth is something that does not decrease in them. There are people who have lots of properties, have beautiful decorated houses, have cupboards full of nice clothes, but their greed instead of falling, continues to rise. Despite living an excellent life some people have such desires:

Would that I could also be a rich woman, would that I could also have a splendid bungalow like so-and-so, would that I could also visit different countries and cities like so-and-so, would that I could also live a splendid life, etc.

We should ponder! By seeing righteous Islamic sisters, have we ever been driven by the greed for acting upon Sunnahs and performing virtuous deeds?
