Spiritual Guidance and Piety (Taqwa)
📌 True piety (ketaqwaan) is not merely spoken or written, but must be believed by the soul, spoken by the tongue, and practiced through the body.
📌 The standard for a good person is maintained until death; one must strive to die in a state of Islam (Wala tamutunna illa wa antum muslimun).
📌 Believers are constantly reminded to be pious (taqwa) because humans are prone to forgetfulness.

The Allure and Danger of Worldly Life (Dunya)
📌 Humans are naturally inclined towards worldly pleasures: women, children, abundant wealth (gold, silver), magnificent horses, luxurious means of transportation, and agriculture/livestock.
📌 The wealthiest people in the world ultimately leave all their riches behind upon death, highlighting the temporary nature of worldly accumulation.
📌 Striving for wealth is permissible, but the ambition must not be the world itself, as one's stay on Earth is brief.

Consequences of Worldly Focus (Fitnah)
📌 If the focus shifts entirely to material gain, negative consequences arise, predicted by the Prophet:
1. Tanafusu (Competition): Excessive rivalry over possessions (cars, phones, houses) surpassing others.
2. Tahasadun (Envy/Malice): Harboring jealousy because worldly "seats" (status/success) are limited.
3. Taqhato'u (Severing Ties): Refusing to greet or associate with others due to underlying resentment.
4. Tabaghadhu (Mutual Hatred): Leading to enmity and hostility among brethren.
📌 Many humans are suffering from mental illness (1 billion people globally cited) potentially due to this unchecked focus on worldly pursuits.

The Intention Behind Earning Wealth
📌 The intention behind hard work determines its spiritual value:
1. Working to provide sustenance for aged parents is considered being fisabilillah (in the way of Allah).
2. Working to provide for young, dependent children is also considered fisabilillah.
3. Working to maintain one's dignity and avoid being a burden on society is fisabilillah.
4. Working for the sake of showing off (ria') or boasting about wealth places one in the path of Satan** (jalan setan).

Actionable Religious Reminders
📌 Immediately repent and perform good deeds (beramal) before the onset of severe tribulations/fitnah, which can cause believers to revert to disbelief (kafir) overnight.
📌 On Fridays, it is recommended to recite Surah Al-Kahf to understand the message against being enslaved by wealth.
📌 The hereafter (akhirat) is better and more enduring than the temporary pleasures of this life.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Ensure that all efforts to accumulate wealth are rooted in proper intention (e.g., supporting family, maintaining self-respect).
➡️ Beware of the four diseases of excessive worldly ambition: competition, envy, severance of ties, and mutual hatred.
➡️ Remember that only deeds (amal) accompany you into the grave; wealth, family, and workers remain behind.
➡️ Do not postpone repentance and changing for the better; spiritual reversal happens quickly when the world dominates one's focus.
