stand hardships in the way of Allah, those who spend their possessions, and
live for the cause of Allah, and those men of faith and wisdom, whose
hearts are full of love for Allah. As the Prophet Muhammad (May Allah bless
him and grant him peace) said "Allah does not look at your forms and pos-
sessions, but He looks at your hearts and your deeds." (Muslim) Those who
appear to lead a luxuriant and prosperous life, actually live in spiritual de-
privation. Each day drift these people into eternal torment in Hell. Allah in-
dicates this situation as follows:
Do not let their wealth and Children impress you. Allah merely
wants to punish them by them during their life in the world and for
them to expire while they are unbelievers. (Surat at-Tawba: 55)
Possessions should not be desired for pleasure and ostentation only.
We need to keep in mind that Allah puts humans to test by their possessions
as well. These possessions bring enjoyment to people as long as they are
used to earn the good pleasure of Allah. Karun, for instance, ended up in
misery, despite his measureless wealth. The case of Karun is indeed a warn-
ing for all generations, both past and present.
