كتاب The Message 18

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.
