thats called greed
Back in BLACK
muslims are only allowed to 'envy' a person for their piety, and aspire to be like her/him.

But that is not envy.
Envy involves wanting the other person to NOT have that which is envied...

'grudging admiration'. I would class that the same thing...
Anyway to me it means there is a dark side. A dark dark side.
But if people can make up words, I can make up meanings!

I don't think I'm even allowed that. Some people have all the luck.

i think im misunderstood then, just to clarify, i dont deny that money makes things easier and it is needed....i plan on making as much money as i can!!
i jus think that money has a small factor to play in happiness, and that some moments of happiness dont require money.....and money can have adverse effects....can turn siblings into enemies even!
The Lover is ever drunk with love;
He is free, he is mad,
He dances with ecstasy and delight.

We worry about every little thing,
But once we get drunk on that love,
Whatever will be, will be.

Lack of money is the main source of unhappiness for the kids n Africa
true lilsis money for neccessities is essential
loads of money can buy you happiness if spent on the good things like alms etc
however loads of money spent otherwise can give us a false happiness whilst its spell lasts
lack of food, shelter, basic stuff is....which is usually easier if you have money
money solely on its own means nothing, and excess money doesnt bring any happiness....but i suppose it goes a long way to making life easier, and hence usually happier. usually
plenty of rich people will tell you how life is not gud!

Yea - fulfilling basic needs is one thing but like you said the money itself isn't doing anything to "bring you happiness." More money just means a new set of problems to contend with. There is no "easy card" for life that suddenly takes away your problems and challenges. I don't think God intended the world to work like that.
A to the greed...Agreed, its all about greed!
money can be, can be, deluding
you think when you get it, all your concerns are over
even after you die, your money is causing problems
as biggy says.......mo money, mo problems

if you've met poor people in Africa, what strikes you is how content they are with the little they do have, how genuinely hospitable and generous they are even though they may not have enough food to feed their own kids. they embody the true muslim.

i know what Dust means though. If you've ever seen them documentaries where celebs go out to villages in say Africa and set up an orphanage or school for deprived kids. You'll see kids dressed scantily. With swollen stomachs due to malnutrition smiling so wide their white teeth glisten. Running to hug their western sponsors. Offering them food and a place to stay, all this despite their utter poverty. How many of us would have such patience and be so generous? It has much to do with being content with the little you have. It may not be the same sort of happiness we desire or they do, but it's still contentment in an extreme situation.
How many of us would behave like that if we were bereft of all our material things? Ppl over here would go la la if severn trent switched off their water supply for even half the day.
Well we're paying for it
Who's severn trent?
water supplier lol. be quiet or else i'll get my little bruv to switch off your supply he works there
Severn trent eyy....I thought you was a londoni.
Our electricity and water supply was cut off once at the same time for half of the day. And the wierd thing was it was only our house in the whole street but we survived.
Go ahead cut off my water supply, I'll survive with the rain we're getting
I quit work yesterday, what happened yesterday was the last straw for me….work was making me so miserable, I was neglecting family and was struggling to balance Uni and other stuff….
Of course I’ll miss the money….but I rather go without then be unhappy. But I know that I can afford to say this because no one is dependent on my wages and atm I have no bills to pay.
If I was the sole breadwinner I couldn’t afford to do as I please.
Well, congrats!
(Probably not what you thought would be the first reply
)
The way I see it if you do not need the money, you may aswell do what you enjoy instead of torturing yourself earning the money you do not need.
Now you just have some free time to fill up with things you would enjoy doing. Savour it while you can.

Lol-it isnt teaching that I've quit, I wouldnt be doing my PGCE at the moment if I wasnt into teaching...its agency work as a "supply teacher" that I've given up.
Supply teacher...that reminds me of the happy old days I had when I was in school and had a supply teacher.
No work was done and we threw paper, pritt stick at the teacher when they weren't looking and were writing on the board.
Remember once we made one cry.
It's hard work being a supply teacher with all the abuse you get from students, especially in secondary schools. Primary schools aren't that bad.
Agreed.
Thats why I'm studying to be a primary school teacher...according to Imam Ghazzali kids are most impressionable at that age.
Yeah and most are adorable at that age and very very curious.
You had too much on your plate so quiting that job was proly the best thing.
I can remember torturing supply teachers... So once again congrats!
(I did not think you quit the career, but the job whatever that was...)

lol i know, but i was just saying anyway, quitting any job related to teaching is probably a good move.
