Where is your money? Where is your power? Where is your arrogance?
Saint Paul was inspired by these last wishes of this great man:
For we brought nothing into the world, just as we shall not be able to take anything out of it.
(I Timothy 6:7) -The Holy Bible
  • जन्म के समय में आप क्या लाए थे जो अब खो दिया है? आप ने क्या पैदा किया था जो नष्ट हो गया है?  जब आप पैदा हुए थे, तब आप कुछ भी साथ नहीं लाए थे.  आपके पास जो कुछ भी है,  आप को इस धरती पर भगवान से ही प्राप्त हुआ है.  आप इस धरती पर जो भी दोगे, तुम भगवान को ही दोगे.  हर कोई खाली हाथ इस दुनिया में आया था और खाली हाथ ही उसी रास्ते पर चलना होगा. सब कुछ केवल भगवान के अंतर्गत आता ह
  • Translation
  • (What did you bring at the time of birth, that you have lost? What did you produce,  which is destroyed? You didn't bring anything when you were born. Whatever you have, you have received it from the God only while on this earth. Whatever you will give, you will give it to the God. Everyone came in this world empty handed and shall go the same way. Everything belongs to God only.)

  • The Holy Geeta
The most important thing for a believer to remember is that we were created for the sole purpose of worshiping the Lord of Creation alone, and this life is just a means of testing our obedience and faith in Him. Whether we are granted abundant riches or severe poverty we must always strive to obey the commands of Allah (azza wa jal) and to fulfill our duties towards Him. A believer’s honour lies in Islam. The words of Allah (the Qur’an) and the Sunnah should be our guides, not the desires of the society surrounding us, which places great value on wealth and materialism. We are merely travelers in this world and we will soon move on. What we will take with us from this world will be our good deeds. They will be our wealth on the Day of Judgment and they are what we will be judged on. He whose deeds are heavy on the scale, will have succeeded and gained something that all the wealth of this world cannot buy, the pleasure of his Lord and eternal paradise.
The Holy Quran

O mortal, why are you so proud of small things? With a few pounds of grain and a few coins in your pocket, you are totally puffed up with pride. Even if you control a hundred villages with great pomp and ceremony. Even if you have an income of hundreds of thousands of dollars. The power you exert will last for only a few days, just like the green leaves of the forest. No one has brought this wealth with them, and no one will take it with him when he dies. Emperors, even greater than Raawan, passed away in an instant. The Lord's devotees are steady and stable forever; they worship Him, adore Him, and chant the Lord's Name. Those who are mercifully blessed by God are given the chance to join the company of holy. Mother, father, spouse, children and wealth will not go along with you in the end. Kabeer says, meditate on God. Your life is uselessly wasting away.
(Guru Granth Sahib, 1251).
Ujar Gaya Wo Bagh Jis K Hazaaron Maali Thay ..
Sikandar Jab Gaya Duniya Se, Dono Haath Khali Thay !!
