Quote by Mufti Ismail Menk

Fortunately we still have amongst us those who do not suffer the "rich man's syndrome" that some suffer from.

When wealth gets to the head, it makes one feel that all should bow to him, all are dependent upon him, nothing can happen without him and the whole world rotates because of him.

Although people may befriend those with the "rich man's syndrome" many will admit that it is based solely on material gain even if they are being abused or disrespected. This is either due to their desperation, love for wealth or foolishness.

Wealth only facilitates material luxury but cannot create true friends, cannot guarantee a happy life, cannot ensure good health and does not necessarily depict the happiness of the Almighty.

In fact many who are wealthy have a much more stressful life, full of misery, with family members fighting each other for their chunk and all sorts of other issues.

Wealth will never benefit us unless we have spent it correctly, become even more humble and down to earth than before and realised that it is one of the greatest tests of the Almighty that will not last forever.

Never let the amount of wealth you have make you forget that you are a human being just like the rest and you have a Maker to answer to.

Be humble, develop your character and help the poor and needy whilst you can.
