*The Happiest Woman in the World*
*(A Treasure Chest of Reminders)*
*Part 4 of 9*
*THE GAME OF ACCUMULATING WEALTH HAS NO END*
"... And (Allāh) has not laid upon you in religion any hardship..." [Qur'an 22:78]
Beaverbrook said: "I accumulated a great deal of wealth, but I realised from experience that persisting in that game - the game of accumulating wealth - was very dangerous and had no end, and it would consume my life and happiness. So, I changed my profession and found a job I liked in the publishing field, which did not generate much wealth, but it brought me happiness and served society. I advise every man who has accumulated enough wealth to suffice him, to stop playing this money-game and retire early, so he can enjoy what he has achieved and plan to do work that he likes, so that he can serve society and enjoy his time."
The one who has an accumulated wealth has little concern about leaving behind a large estate for his heirs, because he knows that they will be better men if they go out into the world having little wealth and with nothing but their brains and attitudes. Wealth without effort often becomes a curse rather than a blessing, misery rather than happiness. When men are able to satisfy their physical desires in luxury and laziness, their minds become occupied with petty and idle pursuits, and their youth fades away until they die.
"Have strong faith that nothing is impossible in life."
*{To be continued In-sha-Allāh (If Allāh Wills)...}*
*"And keep reminding, because reminding benefits the believers."* (Qur'an 51:55)
