How The Rich Live

"It is common for people to dislike impoverishment or humility because they perceive in these qualities abjectness. Yet the Prophet Muhammad chose poverty over wealth, Allah's peace and blessings be upon him.

[...]

Dignity with God comes to those who are humble before Him; they place prime value on how they are received by their Make and not by how they will be judged by the ephemeral norm of people."
