What Leads Us to Poverty?

Here's an interesting article about how Islam views poverty. On one hand, poverty can be a blessing-our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was poor, and the poor will enter Paradise before the wealthy. On the other hand, there's a kind of poverty we should seek refuge from with Allah, and it might be a result of our own actions. The article points out that not paying Zakat, committing adultery, betrayal, and begging can all lead to poverty. It's important to earn a lawful living and to be grateful for our situation, whatever it may be. https://islamdag.ru/vse-ob-islame/60080
