❞ كتاب The Message 18 ❝ ⏤ United Muslims of Australia

Allah (Swt) clearly states in the Qur’an
how he views people who deal with
fraud, stating: “Woe to those that deal in
fraud, those who when they have to re‐
ceive by measure from men exact full
measure. But when they have to give by
measure or weight to men give less than
due. Do they not think that they will be
called to account?” [Al Qur'an 83:1‐4]
This verse from the Qur’an inspires us to
reflect. In this case, the verse inspires us
to reflect upon what drives us. Are we
driven by the lure of cash where we will
stoop to whatever level to earn it, or will
we reflect on a Muslim’s true principles
and on our spiritual character? This very
first part of this surah should make us
stop and reflect on this important aspect
of our lives.
Although I still get shivers down my spine
every time I think of the endless amounts
of bills which I will soon need to pay for;
as a Muslim I know that Allah (Swt) will
be testing me to see how strong my faith
and trust in Him really is. As Allah (Swt)
says, “Do men think that they will be left
alone on saying, "We believe", and that
they will not be tested? We did test those
before them, and Allah will certainly
know those who are true from those who
are false” (Al Qur’an 29:2‐3).
The lure of ‘easy money’ is just one of
these tests. So my dear brothers and sis‐
ters, let us not take the easy way out
when Allah (Swt) tests us with a hardship
or with our wealth, but let us overcome
these trials by being patient and perse‐
verant. Our money will come and go but
our deeds are held accountable on each
and every one of us.
