Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barkatuh!
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate!
Satan holds out to you
the threat of poverty
and prompts you to adopt
a shameless niggardly conduct,
but Allah holds out from Himself
the promise of pardon and bounty:
Allah is All-Embracing, All-Knowing.
He bestows wisdom upon anyone He wills,
and he who is given wisdom is
in fact given great wealth,*1
but only those who have common sense
learn lessons from these things.
(Surah-2 Al-Baqarah ~ Ayah-268-269)
Explanation:
*1- 'Wisdom'
signifies sound perception and sound judgement. The purpose of this
statement is to point out that one who is possessed of wisdom will
follow Allah's path rather than that of Satan. The followers of Satan
believe that it is the height of wisdom and shrewdness to be constantly
concerned with saving out of one's earnings, and to be perpetually on
the look-out for higher income. But for those endowed with Divine
perception such an attitude is sheer folly. True wisdom consists in
using one's resource moderately to meet one's needs and in spending
whatever is left for charitable purposes. It may be possible for a
person who does not spend for charitable purposes to attain a much
greater degree of worldy prosperity than others. The life of this world,
however, is only a fraction of man's total life which is not limited to
the confines of this world. One who risks the well-being of his eternal
existence for the sake of highly transient well-being in this world is
indeed a fool. The truly wise person is he who makes full use of the
tenure of this life and invests his resources in prosperity in this life
that will never cease.
