Determining the Worth of Others by the Standards of Wealth and Property. Abundance of Wealth is Not a Sign of Allah’s Pleasure:
Those who deny the Day of Judgment have been called disbelievers by Allah Almighty in some places and polytheists in others. The polytheists of Makkah were also deniers of the Hereafter. The general belief of such deniers and worldly people has always been that the possession of wealth and property in this world is a sign of Allah’s favor, and they measure the worth of people—including themselves and others—by these standards of wealth, property, and status. This was also the mindset of the polytheists of Makkah. When they were informed of their fate, their response would be: “Are not our houses, furniture, lifestyle, and gatherings better than yours? And if we were on falsehood, as you claim, then how could we be better than you in every respect?” Refuting this notion, Allah Almighty said that this very standard is wrong. Because the nations whom We destroyed before you were superior to you in grandeur and means—in every respect—and the very fact that Allah’s punishment descended upon them is proof that despite their abundance of means, Allah Almighty was displeased with them.
