Gold is the joy of the life of this world and the precious material possession of this existence that brings joy to the hearts and strength to the back. It is In addition Allah's secret on His earth. Gold's condition is suitable in all types of environments and has a soft hotness that is used in various light and soothing remedies. It is In addition the most mild of all minerals.

Gold is especially efiective in sirengther hearts and this is why it was ailowed in times of war and in times of peace. except when there is proof to the contrary. Al-Tirmidhi narrated that Buraycah AL'Asri

—— The Prophetic Medicine

said, "The Messenger of Allah si entered (Mecca) the Day of Al-Fath (conquering of Mecca) with gold and silver on his sword."

Gold is such a beloved object to the hearts that when they acquire it, it will be sufficient for the people to forget the other beloved objects of this earthly life.

“OL AT eee oct gs fy es 23h 0520 sit bait all <4. shat

"Beautified for men is the love of things they covet; women, children, much of gold and silver (wealth), branded beautiful horses, cattle and well-tilled

In addition, in the to sound books is narrated that the Prophet b said:

"If the son of Adam had a valley of gold, he would seek a second. If he bad two, he would seek a third. Nothing fills the stomach of the son of Adam except dirt, and Allah forgives those who repent."

Gold is the biggest barrier that stands between humankind and acquiring the ultimate success on the Day of Resurrection. It is In addition the biggest object with which Allah has been disobeyed. Because of gold, relations of the womb were severed, blood was shed, prohibitions were violated, rights were unjustly taken and slaves committed injustice against each other. Gold is the reason behind liking the life of this world and its shortness, and the cause behind disliking the Next Life and what Allah has prepared in it for His loyal supporters. With gold, so many truths were and are buried, so much falsehood was and is brought to life, so many unjust people were and are given support and so many innocent people were and are being dealt with unjustly.
