They are seriously blamed by the angels saying: These are people upon whom God bestowed wealth but they did not pay God’s dues.(14) Imam Hassan Mujtaba (Pbuh) said: One of the signs of generosity is to legally earn your property.(15) O’ dear brothers who are responsible for the financial expenses of your family and their spiritual training, and also you who shall marry later: your wife and children only deserve their rightful dues.

However, they are not responsible for your job or business, and will not accept the responsibility for unlawful property which you brought home and they knew nothing about. The punishment in Hell for unlawful property is for the one who earns it. There are two punishments: one for earning unlawful property and the other is for giving it to others. Then be content with lawful property given by God, and be careful about how you earn your income.

Avoid obtaining unlawful property and pay the lawful dues, so that you can prosper in this world and in the Hereafter. One Who Repents is Loved by God During a visit to Mashhad, I met a man one night at the time of the call to prayers. It seemed he had known me for many years. He asked me to accompany him to his residence, so after a few minutes of talking I accepted his invitation even though that was the first time I had met him.

Then I found out that he was one of the people who had attended my lectures during the morning ceremonies in the months of Muharram and Saffar. He knew me but I did not know him. I asked who he was from one who had accompanied him when he left us for a few minutes. I recognized him when the man told me his name. When he was younger, he was a man who was strong and brutish, so much so that the strongest men of Tehran were afraid of him.

His activities included taking bribes from the casinos and banks, smuggling and distributing wine. No one in Tehran could confront him. He had earned a lot of wealth unlawfully. God guided him and his conscience bothered him. His pure nature and his intellect brought him down from his previous position. He then converted all his property into cash and put it all in a suitcase. Immediately he went to Qum to meet the Grand Ayatullah Boroojerdy.

The noble Shiite authority kindly accepted him when he was informed about that mans past. The man told the Ayatullah that what was in the suitcase was all absolutely unlawfully earned.
