It is upon us to all fear Allaah in
our wealth and provisions. When Allaah
talks about the Kuffaar and the wealth they have been given, He always explains
that the wealth given to them is a form of punishment that they are being
punished by.
“Verily, those who
disbelieve spend their wealth to hinder (men) from the Path of Allah, and so
will they continue to spend it; but in the end it will become an anguish for
them. Then they will be overcomed. And those who disbelieve will be gathered
unto Hell.” [al-Anfaal
8:36]
Don’t be befooled by your enemy and
the wealth they possess. Don’t fear them, rather fear your own deeds and the
consquences thereof. Fear that Allaah can Punish you through your enemy. It
could be that He allows your enemy to overcome because of a weakness of your
Emaan, not that they have been favoured upon you.
“And whatever of
misfortune befalls you, it is because of what your hands have earned” [ash-Shoora 42:30]
There is no mention of wealth in
this Aayah, or the strength of your enemy, or their intellgience or their
skills – all of it boils down to you and your deeds.
The opposite is also true, Allaah,
the Most High, will Assist His pious slaves because of their good deeds and
piety.
“Verily, We will
indeed make victorious Our Messengers and those who believe (in the Oneness of
Allah Islamic Monotheism) in this world's life and on the Day when the
witnesses will stand forth, (i.e. Day of Resurrection),” [Ghaafir 40:51]
And,
“and (as for) the
believers it was incumbent upon Us to help (them).” [ar-Room 30:47]
