It was narrated that Abu Kabshah Al-Anmari said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘The likeness of this nation is that of four people: A
man to whom Allah gives wealth and knowledge, so he acts according to his knowledge with regard to his wealth, spending it as it should be spent; a man to whom Allah gives knowledge, but he does not give him wealth, so he says: “If I had been given (wealth) like this one, I would have done what (the first man) did.” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘They will be equal in reward. And a man to whom Allah gives wealth but does not give knowledge, so he squanders his wealth and spends it in inappropriate ways; and a man to whom Allah gives neither knowledge nor wealth, and he says: “If I had (wealth) like this one, I would do what (the third man) did.” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘They are equal in their burden (of sin).’”

A similar report (as above) was narrated from Ibn Abu Kabshah, from his father, from the Prophet (ﷺ).

Foyjul Islam

By Foyjul Islam

My name is Foyjul Islam. I am a journalist and writer based in London, UK, and a practicing Muslim with a deep passion for thoughtful living, faith, and personal growth. I am currently studying in the ʿĀlimiyyah program and pursuing Hifz, which allows me to deepen my understanding of the Islamic tradition and strengthen my connection to the Qur’an. I love travelling, learning, and meeting people from different walks of life. These experiences have shaped how I see the world and taught me to be my own teacher in life. I believe that every journey, conversation, and challenge carries a lesson, and I try to approach each day with curiosity and gratitude. Outside of work and studies, I enjoy spending time with my family, which keeps me grounded and reminds me of what truly matters. I’m into sports, which helps me stay healthy and active, and I’m a bit of a foodie who enjoys discovering new places to eat. I also have a long-standing interest in cars. My faith is at the heart of who I am. It guides my values, my writing, and the way I interact with others. Through my journey of faith, family, writing, ʿĀlimiyyah studies, and Hifz, I hope to offer benefit, inspiration, and reflection to others, and to contribute in a small way to meaningful, faith-rooted conversations in our time.
