Surah Al Kahf | Surah Al Kahf Ruku #5 | سورۃ الکھف |

Throughout this section, Allah Almighty have described the event of two persons.
one of whom Allah gave two gardens of grapes, surrounded with palm trees and cultivated with crops throughout.
All of the trees and plants were abundantly fruitful, providing readily accessible, good quality produce.
He refused to accept that there is any life after death, and if there is one, he claimed, he will be given more wealth and reward therein. His argument was that if Allah was not pleased with him, he would not have this amount of wealth in this world.
The other person, though less than him in wealth, was a true believer. He refuted the argument of the former one by saying that the worldly wealth is not a sign of one's being close to Allah, because the worldly benefits are given by Allah, in one way or the other, even to the disbelievers and sinful persons,
It is a horrible mistake to presume that they are the signs of one’s being approved by Allah. Therefore, neither your wealth is the proof of your behaviour being approved by Allah, nor my lesser wealth is a proof of disapproval by Him. Allah's approval or disapproval depends on one's faith and deeds alone and not on the amount of wealth one has.
This believer tried to explain to the unbeliever that look! Allah created you from a sperm, Allah made you a man, Allah gave you wealth, you should thank Allah for that and when you see the blessings and gardens of Allah, you should say ”ما شاء اللہ لا قوۃ الا باللہ “ and thank God for His blessings.
But it was in his mind that the wealth that I have will remain forever, but he realized this when Allah, the Exalted, took away these blessings, destroyed the gardens and was left empty-handed.
