Watch The Quranic Life Lesson on Wealth Accumulation: But this verse began with worship, “when the Salah is concluded”, and then ends with “and remember Allah a lot”. He, The Most Generous (Al-Kareem) wants you to have more and wants you to be in a good state in your life. So, Allah is encouraging you to seek wealth because it will suffice your desires for more. “And when the prayers have been concluded, disperse in the land and seek out the bounties of Allah, and remember Allah a lot so that you may be successful.”Īllah tells you to seek the bounties of Allah and remember him so that you will attain success.

We find in the Quran and the Sunnah that Muslims are encouraged to seek out ways to increase their wealth, their health and their strength. This is made worse when you seeing others who have it and flaunt it. The challenge is, sometimes, because of the lack of wealth, or having a lower income compared to others you know, the desire for it becomes so strong that we’ll do whatever it takes to get more wealth. The truth is that Islam encourages Muslims to have and seek out wealth in the right ways. That’s the human condition, it’s the way we have been created, and it’s not a bad thing generally speaking.

All of us want to have a good level of income and to accumulate wealth because we associate it with being happy.
