Al-Mughni
He who bestows wealth, on whom he pleases
That it is he who enriches and who satisfies
True wealth belongs to Allah alone
He greatly enriches whomsoever He wishes
while testing others with poverty for a time
The wealth, property and possessions that people enjoy in this world
In fact belong to Allah alone
Nobody will be able to take any of his belongings with him after he dies
He will have to leave behind everything he worked for
And amassed during his lifetime
Allah says this in the Quran about those people
Who still boast of enjoying great wealth and possessions
Whose wealth makes them proud and forget our Lord as a result
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan
Do they imagine that in the wealth and children we extend to them
We are hastening to them with good things?
No indeed, but they have no awareness
The messengers of Allah used the possessions he bestowed on them
On good works intended to please our Lord
And earn his approval
They spent all they possessed for very different purposes
Than those whose wealth makes them proud
And who forget the true Lord of all things
Allah, Lord of all things in the universe
And the sole creator of all
Bestows wealth on whomever he pleases in this world
But it is in the hereafter that he will bestow true wealth
All believers who have faith in him
Who spend their lives doing good works
And thus seek to earn his approval
Will be blessed with great wealth in the hereafter
Allah says this about paradise in the Quran
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan
Seeing them you see delight in a great kingdom
They will wear green garments of fine silk and rich brocade
They will be adorned with silver bracelets
And their Lord will give them a pure draught to drink
This is your reward
Your striving is fully acknowledged
