THIS IS THE WORLD SO BEWARE OF IT!

Money is a thing we all need but to what lengths we go to attain this, is questionable in Islaam. As believers we are

taught that this world is nothing but transitory and the Hereafter is eternal and everlasting.

Therefore our endeavors for the latter should be more and in all earnestness as compared to the efforts for the
former. It is a harsh and sad reality today, the world is money driven. Even sadder is that the Muslimfeatures in the
forefrounts of this quest of wealth, fame and glory.

The incident which occurred in the time of Nabi Isaa (jesus) (A.S) below shares light on our plight in life. It is an
incident that should jolt into reality and realization those afflicted by the course of the insatiable quest of wealth, fame
and glory.

A man accompanied Nabi Isaa (jesus) the son of Maryam (A.S.) and said that he would gom with him. They
continued along until they came to a river. They sat and started to eat.

They had three loaves of bread. they ate two of them and one remained. Nabi Isaa (jesus) went to the river, drank
some water and returned. Upon his return he did not find the third loaf, so he asked the man who had taken that loaf.
The man said that he did not know.

They continued until they came to a doe followed by two fawns. Nabi Isaa (jesus) beckoned one of the fawns,
killed it, roasted it and thy ate it. Then Nabi Isaa (jesus) addressed the fawn (that had been eaten) saying, “Live!” It
came to life and went.

Then he turned to the man and said, “By the God Who has shown you this miracle, who took that loaf of bread?”
The man said that he did not know.

They continued until reached a lake. Nabi Isaa (jesus) took the hand of the man and led him over the water. When
they reached the other side, Nabi Isaa (Jesus) gathered some sand or dust and said, “By the permission of Allah
(SWT), be Gold!” It became Gold. He divided it into three portions.

Then Nabi Isaa (jesus) said, “One third is for me, one third for you, and one third for whoever took that loaf of
bread.
The man said, “Alright, I took loaf of bread,” Nabi Isaa (Jesus) said, “Then all of this Gold is yours.” Then he left
him.

The man encountered two other man in the desert. They wanted to take his Gold and kill him. He said, “Let us into
three portions.” They sent one of them to them village to buy food.

The one who went said to himself, “Why should I let them have notions of this wealth? I still put some poison into
the food, and kill them.” So, he poisoned the food.

The other two said, “Why should we give a third of this wealth to him. When he comes back, let us kill him, and
divide the rest of the wealth between us.”

When he returned, they attacked him and killed him. Then they ate the poisoned food and died. The wealth
remained in the desert with the three dead men beside it.

Nabi Isaa (Jesus) passed them and saw the situation. He said to his disciples, “This is the world, so beware of
it!”
