if wealth was determined by labour i would have lots of money

Paris Hilton is prime example of this quote;

“A poor man wise is like a sacred book that’s never read. To himself he lives, to all others seems died. This age thinks more of a gilded fool, than a thread bare saint in wisdom’s school.” Thomas Dekker

To clarfy, Paris Hilton is a universal term for filthy celebrities whom have attained wealth for unknown reasons.

I wouldn't go as far as to say that there would be no Paris Hilton, but there wouldn't be any kids that are able to live off their parents money after their parents die, if and only if, wealth was determined by ones labor and it's value.

when GOD create a MAN and give knowledge and power over everything in this world HE 4get that 1day HE shall be called and counts 4 what HE has done. GOD gave HIM ( MAN) responsibility . the wealth is not 4 earn it, the wealth is 4 those whom cannot have any means of working, speaking, or ask. WE have been given choice, 1) GOOD and the BAD. Don't use your wealth to treat others with no respect, disobey the elderly and the needs.

DO NOT SHOW OFF ON THE LAND OF YOUR CREATOR, DO NOT SHOW PRIDE WERE JUST HUMAN TO GOD WERE NOTHING. WE ARE MADE OF A DROP OF WATER WE CAME FROM DUST AND THE DUST WE WILL RETURN. DON'T BORE THE WOMB THE CARRIED YOU. IF U CAN TREAT ANYBODY UNJUST DON'T TREAT YOUR MOTHER UNJUSTLY. YOU WILL REGRET IN THIS WORD AND THE WORD TO COME.

In reality, when the prayer is performed properly – with true remembrance of Allah and turning to Him for forgiveness – it will have a lasting effect on the person. After he finishes the prayer, his heart will be filled with the remembrance of Allah. He will be fearful as well as hopeful of Allah. After that experience, he will not want to move from that lofty position to one wherein he disobeys Allah. Allah mentioned this aspect of the prayer,

Some do not concentrate on what they are saying.

· Some speed when they pray

· Some wander with their gaze during Salah,

· The number of raka’aat performed is constantly forgotten.

· For some, the Dunya hugs their hearts during Salah and clouds their minds.

· Sometimes, before the Imam says Allahu Akbar, some in the congregation are already in the next prostration.

Implementation of Iman

The signs of a hypocrite (Munafiq)

The signs of a Munafiq are many. We have summarised the most important signs below, so that we can check ourselves and benefit by it.

You can identify a Munafiq by the following signs:

When he promises he will break it.

When he is entrusted with something he will betray.

Fajr and Isha prayer will be difficult for him.

When he talks he will lie.

When he argues he will abuse.

He creates fitnah (mischief) among brothers, he carries tales that break up relationships

He will try to bring innovations into Islam.

He will narrate his sins publicly without shame.

He will be noticing the misdeeds and faults of others while a believer tries to find excuses for others.

He will backbite his brother (Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his brother's corpse? - Quran 49:12)

He holds his brother in suspicion and spies on him.

He will publicise his brother's shame.

He will admonish his brother in public.

His heart is filled with pride (Whoever has an atom's weight of pride does not enter paradise). He will not listen to good advice from others.

He divides the Muslims into nationalities and races and takes pride in identifying with such divisions and does not recognise the Muslims as one single Ummah.

He is merciless towards other Muslims and praises the Kafirs.

He is quick to cut off relationship with fellow Muslims. (Reconciliation is better than prayer, Zakat or Hajj.)

He prefers the company of non-muslims and degrades the pious Muslims.

All of these bad characteristics can be wiped off by repentance (Thouba) if present in a believer.

Anyone who utters the Shahadah without commitment is A MUNAFIQ (Pretender). A KAFIR IS BETTER THAN A MUNAFIQ. Because you know the former is your enemy; but the latter pretends to be your brother.

During the lifetime of the Prophet (SAW) his enemies were the Jews, Christians, Kafirs and the Munafiqs. The Munafiqeens did the worst damage. Munafiqeens rose up in rebellion against Uthman (RA) and martyred him. Munafiqeens have always succeeded in becoming rulers because the true believers have shunned politics.

Should the true believers shun politics?

On forgiving, anger and brotherhood

The Prophet (SAW) said:

"If a man's brother apologises to him and he does not accept his excuse, he incurs a sin like that of the tax-collector." - "The believer is slow to anger, quick to be content." - The prophet (SAW) did not describe a believer as not getting angry.

Likewise Allah (SWT) said:

"....and who contain their wrath." - (Quran 3:134)* - He did not say, "Who lose their wrath".

The Prophet (SAW) said:

"God has forbidden one believer to tamper with the blood, property or honour of another, or to hold a bad suspicion of him." - "Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is the most untruthful report, and suspicion leads to prying and spying." - "Do not spy and do not pry. Do not sever relationships and do not fall out, but serve God as brothers."

"If a man veils his brother's shame, God will veil him in this world and the Other."

The method of advising your brother

Al-Shaf'i (may God be pleased with him) said:

"To admonish your brother in private is to advise him and improve him. But to admonish him publicly is to disgrace and shame him."

The Balance

Al-Shafi'i (may God have mercy on him) said:

"There is not one Muslim who obeys God without ever transgressing against Him, nor is there one who transgresses against Him without ever obeying Him. If a man's obedience outweighs his transgressions, then he is righteous."

Finally

The importance of niyyath - any good deed done without the intention of pleasing Allah (SWT) alone will be wasted. If it is done for show or to get the praise of people it will not be counted as a good deed.

One who collects duties not authorised in Sacred Law.

Part of a description of those for whom Paradise is prepared.

So, has this benefited you?

Narrated AbuHurayrah (RAA) Rasulullah (SAW) said: Five prayers and from one Friday prayer to (the next) Friday prayer is an expiation (of the sins committed in between their intervals) if major sins are not committed. (Sahih Muslim Book 2, Number 0448)

Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "If there was a river at the door of anyone of you and he took a bath in it five times a day would you notice any dirt on him?" They said, "Not a trace of dirt would be left." The Prophet added, "That is the example of the five prayers with which Allah blots out (annuls) evil deeds." (Sahih Al Bukhari Volume 1, Book 10, Hadith # 506)

Narrated Abu Hurairah (RAA) Rasualullah (SAW) said, "No prayer is harder for the hypocrites than the Fajr and the 'Isha' prayers and if they knew the reward for these prayers at their respective times, they would certainly present themselves (in the mosques) even if they had to crawl." The Prophet added, "Certainly I wish to order the Mu'adh-dhin (call-maker) to pronounce Iqama and order a man to lead the prayer and then take a fire flame to burn all those who had not left their houses so far for the prayer along with their houses." (Sahih Al-Bukhari Volume 1, Book 11, Hadith # 626) note: We should see the importance of Fajr and Isha salah in the Masjid.

Narrated Abu Huraira: "Rasulullah (SAW) said, "The angels keep on asking Allah's forgiveness for anyone of you, as long as he is at his Mu,salla (praying place) and he does not pass wind (Hadath). They say, 'O Allah! Forgive him, O Allah! be Merciful to him." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 8, Hadith #436
