Like all aspects of life, trade, if
donehonestlyandfairlycanbe,
aformofdevotiontoGod.Ifit
is done unethically and unjustly
it can be a source of distancing
oneselffromGod. TheProphet
(p)taughtagreatdealonethical
trading.
An honest and trustworthy mer-
chant will be [raised] with the
Prophets, the truthful and the
martyrs.

Although the necessity of trade
is recognized in Islam, the
hoarding of wealth is discour-
aged. The best wealth is spent
on caring for your family, the
needy, and society at large.
The example is that of the
Prophet(p)whodiedwithonlya
pillowandasackofbarleyinhis
possession.
Richesdoesnotmean,havinga
great amount of property, but
richesisself-contentment.
