The Story of Qarun (Korah)
📌 Qarun, known as Korah in other beliefs, was the second richest king in history, surpassed only by Prophet Solomon, and his immense wealth is referenced by the saying, "as rich as Qarun."
🔗 Previously poor and a relative of Prophet Moses, Qarun received the knowledge of alchemy (turning base materials into gold) through Moses's prayer after professing faith.
😈 His downfall began when he was befriended by the devil, who gradually convinced him to compromise his worship time for work, driven by ambition and the desire for worldly success.
Arrogance and Rebellion
😠 Qarun became increasingly prideful, arrogant, and jealous of Prophet Moses, believing the people's respect should be directed toward him due to his wealth.
⚖️ He openly rejected divine assignments, like the duty given to Aaron for sacrifices, claiming injustice, and dismissed Moses's counsel, even calling the miracle of the sprouting staff "sorcery."
💰 He refused to pay Zakat (alms), arrogantly stating he earned his fortune through his own knowledge, directly contradicting the Quranic guidance against pride.
Divine Retribution and Aftermath
🌍 Following his public slander against Moses concerning adultery laws and a conspiracy involving a hired woman, Allah commanded the earth to swallow Qarun, his home, and his treasures.
🗣️ Those who previously envied Qarun realized their folly, acknowledging that Allah controls provision, stating, "Had it not been for the Grace of Allah, He could have surely caused the earth to swallow us up."
🕌 The video warns that neglecting prayer can lead to being resurrected with figures like Qarun, Pharaoh, Haman, and Ubayy ibn Khalaf, symbolizing being consumed by wealth, rule, administration, or trade, respectively.
The Fate of the Treasure
🇹🇷 A small fraction of the treasure, allegedly belonging to a Lydian princess, was discovered near Izmir, Turkey, involving 520 pieces of jewelry, years after the main event.
💀 Those involved in discovering and selling this portion faced mysterious and untimely deaths, highlighting the rumored curse associated with Qarun’s wealth.
🇩🇪 The Turkish treasure, eventually repatriated after a legal battle (costing $40 million), faced further complications when a key piece, the winged seahorse, was stolen and later recovered in Germany.
Key Points & Insights
➡️ Worldly wealth granted as a test does not reflect one's rank or value in the sight of Allah; if the world were worth a mosquito's wing to God, no disbeliever would get a sip of water.
➡️ Love of worldly possessions acts as a veil between an individual and Allah; while blessings should be used, possessions are fleeting, and enemies may act as friends only when wealth is present.
➡️ Consistent prayer serves as a light, proof of sincerity, and means of salvation on the Day of Judgment; those who neglect it face judgment alongside tyrants like Qarun.
