also known as Surah Bani Israel [The Children of
Israel]
Ayat 20. To each these as well as those We bestow from the Bounties of your Lord. And the Bounties of your Lord can never be forbidden.
Hazrat Abdullah bin
Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah
[SAWW](PBUH) said: "Do not crave for property lest you should be absorbed in the
desire of worldly life.'' [At-Tirmidhi Hadith #
2328]
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Al-Isra Ayat 19. "whoever desires the
Hereafter and strives for it", The word
"Dai`ah'' translated here as "property'' means land, industry, agriculture or
business. One should not be so engrossed in them to the extent that, they become
the sole purpose of one's life and all one's efforts are exhausted to acquire
them, thus forgetting all about the Hereafter. To the extent of one's genuine
needs and self-sufficiency, making and maintaining of property, land, industry,
agriculture and commerce come in permissible acts. None of them is forbidden
provided the means employed for making and maintaining them are fair and do not
distract one's attention from Allah and the Hereafter.
