One of the many lessons that can be learned from the Battle of Badr is the guidance on the relationship between property and man. This is the battle that Muslims fought shortly after they fled to Medina. Quraish, the attacking tribe of Mecca, wanted to destroy the powerless Muslim community that was just settling, whose only strength was in their faith. They had no equipment, no property, no wealth. They left everything when left behind their homes. And in vain the triple strength of Quraish troops in number and in vain their experienced commanders, the weak, unprepared Muslim army triumphed with the support of Allah (SWT).

Fair in the eyes of men is the love of things they covet: Women and sons; Heaped-up hoards of gold and silver; horses branded (for blood and excellence); and (wealth of) cattle and well-tilled land. Such are the possessions of this world's life; but in nearness to Allah is the best of the goals (To return to). (Quran 3:14)

Here you are the conclusion: “Don’t seek for earthly desires and rewards but seek refuge in Allah.” Badr is an example for the Power and Existence of Allah. According to human calculation it was impossible for Muslims to gain victory. However, with the help of Him everything is possible if followers are devoted. Who inserts himself in the Universal Plan of Allah as a piece of mosaic, he will win. Who is going to realize plans which don’t mach with the Universal Plan of Allah, will fail.

Many people think that to own something is security. If they have guarantees like property, house, possessions, they will not be surprised. This is because assets are attractive. They inspire you to take them, possess them, follow the feeling of owning them, and you feel safe. But that's not what happens. If we do not limit the instinct of possession, a chain reaction is triggered, which results that man cannot dominate over the desire to acquire, but this instinct will dominate over the man. Acquisition itself induces another acquisition, and on the other hand, the law of things and assets provides us the rules of the game and the regulations that elevate us over the possessions are losing their validity. The law of things and assets will rule us.

We are just working and investing huge efforts to pay the costs of maintaining them, taxing, and somehow compensating our losses when they cause damage. Because the damage will come, it's just a matter of time. Property always gives birth to envy. Whoever sees it, wants it. You are surrounded by liars, you are looted by fake rules, you are made a beggar by fake lovers. When this happens and the poverty reappears, we realize that richness doesn't mean the acquisition, expropriation of our own possessions, but owning the assets of Allah according to His laws. If we do this, we will never suffer of any loss. If we have nothing but a "deposit from Allah", we are the richest. The law of Allah does not allow that an asset to take control over anyone. The role of wealth, of property is the servitude. It also serves Allah. In the hands of man, it becomes unrestrained, like a wild horse. Its task is to provide livelihood and providence for every creature.

If you do not see this in practice, then things are not working according to the law of Allah. I know, you're still starving, your kids are out of clothes, there is no money for the old to buy medicine. But maybe I can suggest something. Don't run after dreams. The reality has to be put in the hands of Allah. No matter how much difficulties you have, do not lose confidence in Him. Do not beg, do not cheat others, do not try to be rogue, or to make money with short term scams, because these incomes go the way as they came. Senselessly

Instead, organize your relationships around yourself. Select them. Break links with the parasites, keep the good ones with whom you can exchange ideas in a constructive way. Lock up the negative gates and open the positives. Your surroundings will be changed around you and you will find that just by settling your relationships most of your problems will be solved. Because there is no poor man. If you open in the right direction, you will put into effect the laws of Allah and you will enjoy the fruits of relationships and care that your positive surrounding can provide. To do this, do not choose a "labeled" relationship based on whether they are Muslims or not, because you will be disappointed. Don't wealth attract you anywhere because it is fraudulent. A wealthy man is not rich because he gives, but because he takes away. Look where Allah's law works! Where do people think about social matters as those are mentioned in the Quran? You will be shocked! In most cases, they are not simply non-Muslims, but they are not even religious. Because Allah is never with those who just refer Him pointless or treat Him as a puppet, but where His program makes the hearts work, no matter His name is mentioned or not. Learn to see hearts, not just hear words and you will get out of the trouble.

"The poor man with industry is happier than a rich man in idleness" Henry Ward Beecher
