The act of hoarding, adulteration of goods, and exploiting the
underprivileged for excessive profit undermines the moral and spiritual
integrity of an individual. Such practices strip a person of inner tranquility,
leaving their lives characterized by persistent anxiety and unease. Though they
may project an outward appearance of contentment, their inner state remains
fraught with sorrow and fear. A hoarder’s heart becomes consumed by insecurity,
devoid of genuine empathy or goodwill. They rejoice solely in the inflation of
prices, yet despair when market values decline, revealing their attachment to
material gain at the expense of ethical principles.
It is imperative to focus on a higher trade—one that transcends
transient wealth and ensures deliverance from eternal punishment, yielding
lasting success and spiritual fulfillment.
Divine Guidance on Ethical Practices
Allah the Almighty declares:
“O you who believe! Shall I guide you to a
trade that will save you from a painful torment? Believe in Allah and His
Messenger and strive in His cause with your wealth and your lives. That will be
better for you, if only you knew.” (As-Saff 10–11)
Moreover, the Qur’an condemns fraudulent practices in commerce,
highlighting their spiritual and social ramifications:
“Woe to those who give less [in measure and weight], those who, when they
take a measure from people, take it in full, but when they give by measure or
weight to others, cause loss. Do they not think that they will be resurrected
for a tremendous Day? The Day when mankind will stand before the Lord of the
worlds.” (Al-Mutaffifin 1–6)
Adulteration, misrepresentation, and deceit in trade are explicit forms
of dishonesty that violate the ethical principles mandated by Allah. Such
actions not only harm societal trust but also invoke divine accountability.
Those who engage in these practices risk severe consequences, both in this
world and on the Day of Judgment, when all individuals will stand before the
Sovereign of the universe. Ethical commerce rooted in fairness and integrity
aligns with the divine will and serves as the foundation for sustainable social
and spiritual prosperity.

Dedicated to those scientists, who are inching towards the cognizance of the facts, spotlighted by Allah Almighty, in the wake of their intelligent observation for the top vertex of scientific achievement, which is not other than the "Disastrous end of the Universe".
