Limited Immortality

Millionaire

How does one become a millionaire? We live in a society of imediate satisfaction. "I wan't it now!". Yet according to the research done by the authors of "Millionaire Next Door", America's wealthy dont have that mentality...

...rather they have self discipline, frugal spending habits, avid investors, and they live below thier means...which means they dont care about social status.

Allah (swt) teaches us that and more:

Successful indeed are the believers:

• Those who with their prayer have tranqility and taqwa of Allah.
• Those who turn away from vain things.
• Those who pay the Zakah.
• Those who guard their private parts. Except from their wives or their right hand possessions, for then, they are free from blame, but whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors.
• Those who are faithfully true to their trusts, promises, and to their covenants.
• Those who strictly guard their prayer.

These are indeed the heirs. Who shall inherit Firdaws. They shall dwell therein forever.
- Surah Mu'minoon: 1-11

LESSONS

• It begins and ends with prayer. Something that requires self decipline.
• Turning away from vanity, many times requires that we give up social status.
• Zakah is an invest for us in the hereafter, and it purifies our wealth.
  
• Guarding our chasity and being honest is a characteristic of somone who has integrity.

If you want wealth do the above. InshaAllah...ima make my 1st million in 5 years :)
