Those who choose this path face disgrace in this world and intense torment on the Day of Judgment. This lecture emphasizes the necessity of complete submission to the entirety of Sharia for true faith and salvation.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) defined true impoverishment not as a lack of wealth, but as a lack of spiritual and moral capital. On the Day of Judgement, individuals may arrive bearing the outward signs of piety – prayers, fasts, pilgrimage, and charity – only to find their rewards diminished due to past injustices. Those harmed by their wrongful actions – through slander, false accusations, or violations of rights – will present their claims, and the offender's good deeds will be allocated to compensate the victims. This lecture highlights the critical importance of earning wealth and performing religious obligations through lawful means, emphasizing that true prosperity lies in righteous conduct and the preservation of others’ rights.
