Capitalism

There is a reason why Allah made interest haraam, because it makes the rich richer and completely exploits the poor.

And yet life goes on and tomorow the sun will still rise from the East and set in the West!

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: A servant says, My wealth. my wealth, but out of his wealth three things are only his: whatever he eats and makes use of or by means of which he dresses himself and it wears out or he gives as charity, and this is what he stored for himself (as a reward for the Hereafter), and what is beyond this (it is of no use to you) because you are to depart and leave it for other people.

On the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said: "The poor Muslims will enter Paradise five hundred years earlier than the rich."

so true walahi sis. heard that hadhith before. but are these galos senseless, heartless and shelfish that much; to know the amount of poverty in this world has risen yet they do moe harm than good. is been charitable only applies to muslims im glad im muslim, because if i was as rich as them. i would help as many poor people as i could

Inshallah God will not make me obscenly rich, I might not be able to control myself.

[Lil_Cutie..]

Don't pay too much attention to other people and thier dunyah life. It will only get you to become delusional and merely asmused.

I see my friends and family watch silly programmes like on MTV or TMF or whatever ''In the life of the rich and famous'' bla bla blahhh.. What a load of crap. How can people watch things like that fully? What a pathetic life they lead spending millions on the most stupidist things and then to only go flash your money or shall I say the money they dont have but make others think they do.

SubhanAllah

Most of the people stated above deserve the adequate compensation they got for their achievement. Folks its easier showing your socialistic attitudes when you're on the other side on the coin soo ma aha.

Most of all remember much of the money donated to charities around the world will come from these types of people, not from the other 99.99% who would like to help out more, but can't.

Cheers

I dont think so. How many people earn such money through so-called ''achievement'' in comparison to those who spongue of thier family? Very little.. Linkage is a powerful thing in itself. Note the names above.

[Aerosmith]

Sponge off their family! How? I only see seven among them who have inherited their money or part of it. The rest are self made billionaire.

What other linkage are you talking about?

Lets hope it isn't the old cliche waa yahuud ama waa galo. If that were the case, why are immigrant Indians doing so well all over the world from Hong Kong, London,Toronto, Dubai.
