This is the reality. Money, wealth, dunya, all of it, it can never consistently hold us together, ever. And when we do start chasing peace in wealth, it only debilitates and consumes us the more we seek it. We think we are seeking peace, when it only leads us to our own detriment. Think of the story of Qaroon in Surah Al-Qasas, or of kings who had the richness of dunya but the constant internal fear of ever losing it. A believer finds peace with Him, the only One to remain. Thus, their peace remains too.

Jazaak Allah khair, Sister Samia. Too often I notice practising Muslims still being caught up in materialism and not even noticing, seemingly. May Allah Most High protect us all. Aameen.
