So the Right Path is the worship of Only One God. It is giving up of sins and fulfilling obligatory matters. Then, putting emphasis, He says: And certainly he led astray numerous people from among you. What! could you not then understand? (36:62) *** *** Man is endowed with intellect to benefit from admonition and to be warned. Animals have no intelligence and hence no duty is enjoined on them. It is man who must take a lesson.

Thus Allah says how many people are there who are misled by Satan and destroyed by the devil. Have you no sense to understand this? Qaroon is swallowed by the earth It is very strange; nowadays everyone is running after money and they think that honor lies in wealth. O wealth worshippers! O you who are running on the path of Satan! Qaroon was richer than you all. No richness can ever reach the level of Qaroon.

By the knowledge of Alchemy, which he got from Prophet Moses (‘a), he gathered so much gold and silver that, in the words of the Holy Quran: He became so wealthy that a number of porters carried the keys of his treasures with difficulty.

What happened to their riches amounting to billions when they died? The wealthy fellow went away empty handed. Take lesson. Also look at the grave of that unlucky fellow who gathered money through usury. O young man! Your eye fell on a strange woman and you were attracted. Just see where the followers of lust reached and what happened to them? How they fell in the traps of Satan? A wise man should always beware of the satanic traps. O learned gentleman and O ignorant student!

Look and deliberate what calamity befell such people.
