When we look at the world around us, we see people who have so much wealth that maybe they cant even count it. However, we should never become jealous of these people because in reality if they associate partners with Allah, this wealth will not save them from the fire. Narrated Anas: The Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam said, Allah will say to that person of the (Hell) Fire who will receive the least punishment, If you had everything on the earth, would you give it as a ransom to free yourself (i.e. save yourself from this Fire)? He will say, Yes. Then Allah will say, While you were in the backbone of Adam, I asked you much less than this, i.e. not to worship others besides Me, but you insisted on worshipping others besides me. (Bukhari) Think abut this. This is a man who will receive the least amount of punishment and he would happily give the entire earth to save himself from the fire. But Allah is not asking us for the world. We are not required to fast everyday or constantly read Quran without a break or spend every night in prayer. We are required to make our worship for Allah alone, to follow the messenger and do what is commanded and abstain from what is forbidden. None of us are perfect. We all fall down. But never let the oneness of Allah elude you because without that, we are poor.
