The sahaabah رضي الله عنهم viewed money as a source of succour to the deen.
In the Hadith Qudsii reported by Ahmad and At Tabaraanee, which was authenticated by Al Albaniyy:
"Allaah says we don't make money except to establish Salah and pay Zakaah...."
To the well-to-do in the society, the essence of the money given to you by Allaah is for the promotion of His Deen. The part of it spent on yourself, your family, and in the course of Allaah are for you. As for those kept, they are for your heirs, even though you would account for all in the sight of Allaah.
The Prophet was reported to have said that the feet of a man will not move an inch in the sight of Allaah until he is able to answers five questions; two of them concern how he got his wealth and what he spent it on!
Are you using your money for good or otherwise? You own many houses in different parts of the country _barakallahu feehi,_ but ask yourself "How many masjid have you built for Allaah's sake?" "How many houses have you built for the poor, widows and orphans?" "What are the ways you are contributing towards the progress of Islam within your capacity?"
Before your last breath, ponder over this and turn a new leaf as the death can come your way anytime.
May Allaah grant us good end. Aameen

Without sugar coating: most of our pain comes from two things:
● our love of and attachment to other than Allah.
● weakness in our iman in the Qadar of Allah.
What we call emotional and mental states are predominantly shaped by the state of our iman and our love.
Allah says [meaning] ((those who do works of righteousness, male or female, from a state of iman, We shall grant him/her a good life)) surah an-Nahl, verse 97

Then he recited this verse (about bad people):

Neither heaven nor earth wept over them, nor was their fate delayed.

****Method of self-ruqya
1) Sit down in a quiet area with the intention to make ruqya on yourself. Ensure there are no children running around or the tv is not on in the background. You shouldn't be disturbed. Have a glass of water and a 2 or 5 liter bottle of water handy.
2) Seek refuge in Allah from the shaytaan three times - Aouthubillahi min-ash-shaytaan arrajeem
3) Mention the name of Allah three times - bismillahir-rahman nir-raheem
4) Read sura fatiha three times
5) Read ayatul kursi three times
6) Read last two ayaat or surat al baqarah three times
7) Read sura ikhlas / falaq / nas three times each

9) Spittle into the glass of water and also spittle into the bottle of water
10) Drink the water in the glass. Ensure you say bismillah
11) Drink the water in the bottle in the morning / evening / night

13) Each day you should be reciting into a fresh bottle and drinking it three times a day and making ghusl with it at night - any water is fine including tap water insha'Allah
14) If you have movements in your stomach or bloatedness then purchase senna leaves and make tea with them and drink every day for two weeks
15) Drink a tablespoon of honey and a tablespoon of black seed oil every day

The Value of Patience and Silence
You will come across people who put on a face in front of you because they need something from you. They will say all of the things you like to hear. They will pretend they are something which they are not.
If things don't work out, or if you are unable to help them due to circumstances beyond your control, they will be quick to blame you and attack your character. They will disrespect you and show complete ingratitude for any and every good you did for them.
They will then try to save face by attempting to take back what they said to you in the sneakiest of ways while playing victim, and in their pathetic attempt to get some sort of affirmation for their lowly ways, they make fools of themselves.
How did all of this happen? By you not reciprocating insults with them, by remaining respectful regardless what they say, and best of all, eventually blocking them from your life and not even bothering to respond to them.
Our Messenger ﷺ guaranteed a house in the middle of paradise for one who leaves off argumentation even if he is right. He ﷺ told us that in certain situations, silence is salvation. Allāh instructed us to show forgiveness, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the foolish.
Strive to be among the friends of Allāh, because if you achieve this rank, then Allāh declares war on those who harm you. That is the best way to use your energy. Don't waste your time on toxic people, worship Allāh and turn to Him for help, and He will take care of your adversaries for you in ways you would never be able to do nor imagine.
Patience is bitter, lots of sadness will be experienced and some tears will come down, but the outcomes are sweeter than honey.
If Allāh is with you, if you are getting His support, then nobody can harm you or get in your way. Move forward and don't look back nor have any regrets.
May Allāh protect us and our families. AAMEEN

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
Don't nurse grudge and don't bid him out for raising the price and don't nurse aversion or enmity and don't enter into a transaction when the others have entered into that transaction and be as fellow-brothers and servants of Allah. A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim. He neither oppresses him nor humiliates him nor looks down upon him. The piety is here, (and while saying so) he pointed towards his chest thrice. It is a serious evil for a Muslim that he should look down upon his brother Muslim. All things of a Muslim are inviolable for his brother in faith: his blood, his wealth and his honour.
