So he said (one day) to his companion, while he disputed with him: "I have greater wealth than you, and am mightier in followers." And he entered his garden while he was unjust to himself. He said: "I do not think that this will ever perish; and I do not think the hour [of judgment] will come.
And even if 1 am [resurrected and] returned to my Lord, I will most certainly find a returning place better than this." His companion said to him, while disputing with him: "Do you disbelieve in Him who created you from dust, then from a small seed, and then He made you a perfect man? "As for me, He, Allah, is my Lord, and I do not associate anyone with my Lord.
“And when you entered your garden, why didn't you say: 'It is as Allah has pleased (masha’Allah); there is no power except with Allah?” "If you consider me to be inferior to you in wealth and children, then maybe my Lord will give me what is better than your garden, and send on it a thunderbolt from heaven so that it shall become even ground without plant, or its water would sink down into the ground so that you are unable to find it." And [lo] his wealth was destroyed: so he began to wring his bands for what he had spent on it, while it lay, having fallen down upon its roots and he said, “Ah me!
I wish that had not associated anyone with my Lord." However, he had no host to help him besides Allah, nor could he defend himself.
The power and authority belongs only to Allah, the True One: He is the best reward -giver and the best punisher.” (18:32-44) There are many examples of millionaires who lost everything in spite of their expertise and hard work - this proves that a person should not rely solely on his or her own knowledge and efforts that he or she should trust in the power of the Almighty, and pray for His grace and guidance.

Seek from Lawful Means ''The Trustworthy Angel has informed me," said the (s.a.w), "that no soul shall die before the completion of its sustcnance.[^2] Therefore, fear Allah and do your best in seeking [of the sustenance]. "But delay in any portion of your sustenance should not push you to seek it by disobeying Allah (i.e... By unlawful means) because Allah, the Blessed and the High, has distributed the sustenance among his creatures by lawful means and did not divide it through unlawful means.
