just came across this silly post:
"Of all the myths floating around on Facebook, the one that irritates me is the myth of "work hard and you will get rich", to whom $30,000 is pocket change.
Wealth is the basis of many tragedies, wars and injustices. Unfortunately, people do not learn from history
"
.....
This is probably coming from someone who tried to get rich ,build a biz and he gave up, and now he is trying to convince others to do the same.
Which is selfish.
And yes, I agree there are lots of people who are willing to kill, rob , do anything they can to "get rich ".
Which is the Haram way.
But getting rich is not an evil and it will never be.
When I think about wealth I always think about the Hadith of prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him:
“There is no envy but in two cases: a man whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it rightly, and a man whom Allah has given wisdom and he judges and teaches with it.”
These are the two things every Muslim should aspire for.
Anyways, that's all I've got.
And if you found this interesting I bet you'll also love the Google doc that many people said MashaAllah for
It's about how to escape being broke and start making money InshaAllah
