Lesson seven :Indolence and poverty

Imam Ali( A. S. )says:

إنَّ الأشْياءَ لَمّا ازْدَوَجَتْ إزْدَوَجَ الْكَسَلُ و الْعَجْزُ فَنَتَجا بَيْنَهُمَا الْفَقْرَ

Translation

The day in which everything married with one another," indolence" and" weakness" mingled with each other, and their child was called" poverty and indigence"..

Brief description

Everything is earned through attempt and endeavor. This is a reality that Islam has taught us.

Indolence, debility, weakness and escaping from hard events and problems are never compatible with spirit of belief.

They will not have any consequence save poverty in all aspects, including economical, moral and spiritual poverty. While the believers shall be self- sufficient and contented in all aspects.
