A Story about Greed
I was blessed with everything a guy ever wanted; money, beauty and so on. Even though I had it all yet I asked for more.
The greed in me made me dig for more things like a hungry wolf digging into the flesh of his prey.
I neglected a crucial factor which was thanking Allah” for his blessings.
It never came to me that my greed would someday make me a trap.
It wasn’t until I heard the news about gambling; when I was told that I could gain triple the money I owned now. The word “triple the amount” blinded me in a way that made me risk my money and gamble.
I gambled alot until I finally became an addict, hoping that I would be a millionaire, neglecting the fact that my greed was leading me towards a path that Allah has forbidden.
I finally made the decision to gamble on my house and car.
I didn’t put in mind that I would lose it all in a glimpse, because I was blinded by greed. I gambled first, second and third time yet I didn’t win any money.
I was so frustrated, so I gambled for the last time. Unfortunately, I lost everything I owned in fractions of a second; my money, house and cars.
I was devastated.
I didn’t expect that my greed for being a millionaire would lead me to a path that Allah has forbidden nor expected that I would lose everything I ever owned.
-just a story-
At least you’ve learnt a lesson…
Gambling & Greed are not permissable and forbidden by ALLAH…
And remember that if you have patience and stay away from forbidden means to get money that is not 7alal, then ALLAH will reward you and give you money in a 7alal way. What’s written for you is written & whats not is not
