I Am Enjoying Being A Muslim
Allah the Exalted loves them who forgo worldly life, the Angels love them who reject the vices, and the people love them who give up greediness in respect of others.
Greed pushes people to an extent where they become inhuman. It makes them forget about others and they start collecting as much as possible for themselves. I learned that miserliness, cowardice, and greed appear to be different wicked qualities but they all arise from the same evil mentality of having no faith and no trust in Allah. Greed and faith never co-exist in the human heart.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
