Abstract
he explains the serious consequences of a person’s greed for amassing wealth and that it may lead a person into that which is forbidden. Likewise a person’s craving after attainment of status and position – then this will generally prevent the good, dignity and honour of the Hereafter – and may lead a person into pride and to looking down upon and having contempt for others. What is shown by this valuable treatise is applicable to this time of ours and provides a cure for those ailing souls afflicted with love of wealth, who will expend all their efforts in order to amass it – not caring whether they earn it in a way permitted by the Sharee’ah or in a way not permitted. So the Muslim should awaken from this negligence which is caused by the influence of wealth and status and should not miss the opportunity to Allaah and feel remorse for what he has missed before it is too late.
