Assalamu Alaikum And in the earth are tracts (diverse though) neighbouring, and gardens of vines and fields sown with corn, and palm trees― growing out of single roots or otherwise: watered with the same water, yet some of them We make more excellent than others to eat. Behold, verily in these things there are Signs for those who understand! If you do marvel (at their want of faith), strange is their saying: "When we are (actually) dust, shall we indeed then be in a creation renewed?" They are those who deny their Lord! They are those round whose necks will be yokes (of servitude): they will be Companions of the Fire, who dwell therein (for ever)! The Holy Quran, Surah Ar-Raad (The Thunder), 13:4-5 Favouritism in Hell The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Whoever is put in charge of any affair of the Muslims and he appoints in command over them anyone out of favouritism, then there is the curse of Allah upon him, and Allah will not accept from him either repentance nor a ransom until He enters him into Jahannum.” [Ahmad] A position of authority is a trust (Amanah). Don’t misuse it because you will be accountable before Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) for it. A common manifestation of corruption is the appointment of relatives or supporters to positions (usually from which money is to be made), while they are not the most qualified to hold those offices. It is a cause of the downfall of nations. When you appoint anyone make sure it is on merit, to avoid Allah’s curse from engulfing you. Likewise, when you accept a position, it better be one whose obligations you can fulfil "You make a living by what you earn; you make a life by what you give " - Anonymous
