b'Wealth & The Corruption Of Character A Tafs\\u012br Of S\\u016brat \\u2019l Humazah - Delivered by Shaykh Riyadh ul Haq on 22nd March 2013 at Al Kawthar Academy (Leicester)\\n\\nVideo: https://youtu.be/rqMnspG0eYU\\n\\nThe content of this s\\u016brah describes the delusional and delirious effects of wealth. Isl\\u0101m has encouraged the acquisition of wealth when it is done with responsibility, charity, compassion and with the correct methodology, understanding and intention. When wealth possesses us rather than us possessing wealth, that is when it corrodes and influences our character and thinking process. This s\\u016brah teaches us that to gather wealth incessantly, to count, enumerate and become obsessed with it results in committing the most hideous of crimes. This can lead to backbiting, slandering, defaming, rumour mongering, attacking another\\u2019s honour, character assassination and even physical abuse. The entire character of a person is then corrupted. \\n\\nThe most significant lesson we learn is that success does not \\nlie in wealth rather it is in the remembrance of All\\u0101h. Wealth acquired and used without the consciousness of All\\u0101h becomes a burden rather than a blessing. \\n\\nA detail discussion is made of the evil and damaging effects of backbiting, slandering and defaming. The consequences of indulging in such sins are also eloquently outlined. \\n\\n**********************************************************************\\n\\nWebsite: www.akacademy.org/\\nYouTube: http://www.youtube.com/alkawtharacademy\\nFacebook: www.facebook.com/alkawtharacademy\\nTwitter: www.twitter.com/alkawthar\\nInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/alkawtharacademy\\nTunein: http://tunein.com/radio/Shaykh-Riyadh-ul-Haq-p615599/\\n\\n**********************************************************************'
