Why does it feel like the bad guys always win

Peace,
My Daughter received her scholarship from the Gates Foundation. Thank you to Bill & Melinda Gates who are now divorced.
Not so sure about that.
Yes I agree
God bless

Bad guys never win... As you said it feels like they win but not in reality...
Material pleasure and spiritual pleasure are two things.. Does the material pleasure overtake spiritual/inner/natural pleasure? Noway... There is no pleasure if you don't have inner pleasure even the entire earthly material is right at your finger tips...
I would like to remind with an Arabic saying.. " Richest is not the one who has the MOST, but the richest is the one who needs the LEAST.. "
that really speaks the truth..
Good giys will never compare them with bad guys.. Coz their life style is different... They look for pleasure and truth and knowledge... Bad guys are after materials throughout the day.. They don't have a word in their life ENOUGH...What you mean by winning? You mean wining in life.. So you reckon having collected materials is victory of life... Then there is no difference between bad guys and you literally... Find the true win or life.. It never lies in materials.. It just one of the needs of survival but not victory... Good guys who believes in God knows they are really happy in life or not .. Good guys always win coz victory of truth lies in good path..
Looking at others and compare us is the weakest a person can think of... Pleasure is within self not on others external look/luxury...
Every stage of life should definitely teach a good guy the meaning of life and how to navigate .. -

Ok but I still disagree. Giving your money away to a foundation for example and then controlling the foundation is not as generous as it may seem initially. For example by doing so you can claim to have given your wealth away but still get to use your wealth in ways you desire. I have a question mark over how Bill Gates operates.

Peace,
796 And if only the people of the towns had believed and been aware, then We would have opened for them blessings from the heavens and the earth; but they denied, so We took them for what they had earned.
We are the creators of our lives, we attract things to us in accordance with our beliefs.
If we believe that Allah is rich, we can be rich too, we think and we do everything to achieve wealth.
Allah rewards each of us according to our beliefs and the means mobilized to achieve our goals.938 And He found you in need, so He gave you riches?
Nothing falls from the sky, we must act with the firm intention to achieve it. We are supported every step of the way.
We must not think about what is missing in our lives, but focus our attention on what we want to create in our life.
what is the first step to do in order to achieve our goal ?938 And He found you in need, so He gave you riches?
May Allah increase our knowledge.

How many billions does one need to live?
Or what does one need billions for then?Say I have 10 billions and I give 5 billions to charity I will still have 5 billions so who will not be able to do that easily?
We should think twice before assuming one of the richest men in the world has our or anyone s best interests in mind.
Is it not morally wrong to have billions while one is aware that a lot of their fellow humans are hungry and homeless ?
Or may be because I do not have billions ,I am saying this?
Thank you Lord for not making me a billionaire,or even a millionaire.
I am happy with what my Lord has provided for me, and I will gladly share it .
GOD bless you all.

Peace.Regardless of the amount, the fact is that he did not have to do this, but he did out of choice. Not all billionaires would want to readily give away more than 50% of their wealth with the same level of dedication.

I do not know the guy.
I am asking why do you need billions? is it morally right to have billions?For me ,those who do not have much and give are in a better position and those who have given and kept it to themselves are the best.
Do not worry brother ,GOD knows and GOD judges , I am only saying.
GOD bless you.

4220 Whoever desires the harvest of the Hereafter, We will increase for him his harvest. And whoever seeks the harvest of this world, We will give him therefrom, and he will have no share in the Hereafter.
3178 And let not those who reject think that We are providing for them out of the goodness of themselves. We are only providing for them so that they may increase in transgression, and they will have a humiliating retribution.

The world runs on the backs of good people. This is hinted throughout the Book, albeit maybe not pronounced openly. Good people do not boast, they are not good liars, they do not talk loud, they are not good at PR, they do not erect statues or altars of themselves or monuments or giant buildings, so you cannot "see" them. This makes you think bad people are winning. This fact again makes it a trial (fitna). No, bad people are "winning" only what good people give or allow. He who dies with net liabilites is in hell. He who dies with net claims wins.

ou.
Peace.Yes, the richer you are, the better. Being a trillionaire is the best.
Wealth obtained through halal means does not harm others, on the contrary, it enriches others. And you will have fulfilled the sunnah of the prophets David and Solomon(In fact, almost all prophets were rich at one time).
The more rich and blessed you are, the more you can help humanity.

Humanity does not need help from billionaires, those who have short changed them and monopolised the wealth . They need opportunities , fairness and a good system to protect them from "billionaires monopoly".
Look at what is happening to the world s economy and how people are helplessly paying over the top for their cost of living through the billionaires game/ agenda and cons!
Just reflect on what is a billion ? never mind 100 billions!
Do you think one can make that sort of money honestly in their life ?"Karoon was one of Moses people, GOD indeed blessed him by making him rich!!!! Then opened the earth to swallow him for hoarding the wealth and lording it over his people.
So GOD s prophets were billionaires? I do not think the whole world together had one billion at that time and age,
If you think it is alright to have billions made honestly by anyone , you must be living in another planet.
May be we are reading two different Qorans brother .
The instructions and way to live in my Qoran will never allow for one to have billions for themselves . That is far too excessive and greedy
GOD bless you.

It seems like bad/immoral people tend to win in life whether socially or professionally etc.
How has it been for you? Do you feel the same or not? Do you see good people winning in life?No I do not feel or see the same way.
Because life is not about 'winning', life is about 'loving'.Looking for happiness outside of you is definitely the wrong place to look for it.
Outside of you, you will always find.
- Others who are richer than you
- Others who are more respected than you
- Others who are more powerful than you
- Others who are smarter than you
- Others who are more beautiful than you
And worst of all.. - Others who are happier than you
Happiness can only be found inside of you.
islam is an attitude and not a religion.
Attitude of acceptance.
Apply the attitude and you will be happy, regardless of the circumstances.
Accept what you are, have and experiencing, appreciate it, be grateful.
And instantly you will be happy.Eastern tradition repetitively advice people of 'having no attachment'.
Because everything in this universe are temporarily, all are nothing but illusions.Similar to playing a "Virtual Reality Game", every elements inside the game are virtual.
The players initially think that to win the game is to be "the best" inside the game, to 'beat' and 'compete' with other players. But eventually they will find out that to win the game is to actually accept and let go of everything that happened inside the game. As only then they will be able to put off the VR goggle and exit the game. -

Do you think one can make that sort of money honestly in their life ?No, on the contrary. Being a trillionaire in a halal way does not harm others, it benefits.
Of course, one can become a trillionaire in a halal way. The prophets David and Solomon were even more wealthy than today's trillionaires. They are the richest people of all time. Also, as I said, other prophets were also rich for a while, mostly.
The devil is trying to instill communist philosophy in people. To this end, he even introduced communism into the false Bible. Pagan spiritual teaching tries to make it seem like a bad thing to be rich.
Paganism tries to portray not only wealth, but also luxury and comfort as a bad thing. they are trying to adopt the evolutionist philosophy based on suffering and poverty.
Even the saying "you will have nothing and you will be happy" today is part of this perverse plan. They will also forbid meat-eating. Paganism is communist, suffering and vegan.
In reality, the richer you are, the better. You can help so many people. But of course you will be rich in halal way. Then even while making money, you will be useful to others.

This is a false assumption about what Qoran says regarding David and Solomon,quote"of course, one can become a trillionaire in a halal way. The prophets David and Solomon were even more wealthy than today's trillionaires. They are the richest people of all time. Also, as I said, other prophets were also rich for a while, mostly."
They were trying to use GOD s system , in their kingdom,of justice ,fairness and equal rights ,not selfish needs for themselves or monopolise all the wealth to their family and friends or hoard wealth and deprive the people from basic needs . They shared and divided the wealth to all the people
O David, we have made you a ruler on earth. Therefore, you shall judge among the people equitably, and do not follow your personal opinion and desires, lest it diverts you from the way of God. Surely, those who stray off the way of God incur severe retribution for forgetting the Day of Reckoning.
يٰداوۥدُ إِنّا جَعَلنٰكَ خَليفَةً فِى الأَرضِ فَاحكُم بَينَ النّاسِ بِالحَقِّ وَلا تَتَّبِعِ الهَوىٰ فَيُضِلَّكَ عَن سَبيلِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الَّذينَ يَضِلّونَ عَن سَبيلِ اللَّهِ لَهُم عَذابٌ شَديدٌ بِما نَسوا يَومَ الحِسابِKnowing you are accountable to GOD makes a limit to your own wealth .you will be satisfied with what you need and you stay away from greed.
The wealth in the case of David and Solomon belonged to all the people in the kingdom .God blessed Solomon with vast wealth and tested what he did for his people with it not himself. Solomon asked to have help from GOD so that he will be just.
We thus put Solomon to the test; we blessed him with vast material wealth, but he steadfastly submitted.*
وَلَقَد فَتَنّا سُلَيمٰنَ وَأَلقَينا عَلىٰ كُرسِيِّهِ جَسَدًا ثُمَّ أَنابَSolomon feared lest he will be unjust and puts himself above his responsibilities
He said, "My Lord, forgive me, and grant me a kingship tailored for my capabilities (Under your system of submission to your rules ,not like what others do with kingship) . You are the Grantor."
قالَ رَبِّ اغفِر لى وَهَب لى مُلكًا لا يَنبَغى لِأَحَدٍ مِن بَعدى إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الوَهّابُAs for communism,they have billionaires too. What is the difference between all men s systems? They are all oppressive and unjust. Man is greedy and arrogant and justifies injustice. Or some call it halal theft
Either you do not get what I am saying or you do not get the difference between billions to be shared and billions for one or few individuals!!
Never mind though .Even our instinct tells us not to be greedy.
Having more than one needs takes us to greed territory if we do not give the surplus or use for others benefit/help/...Look brother ,I am saying one may go to the limit of justifying they need few millions. But what does one need billions for themselves for?
Do not tell me they do this or that with it, in that case they do not need to have it for themselves. i.e they should have not got to that stage before they make use of the surplus beyond the few millions they had.
Still you do not get me?
GOD bless you.

Well.. Subject here raises is bad guys... And why they mostly seems to be winning since they opted to be bad instead of being truthful... Of course for bad guys to achieve targets with unethical application of ways is much easier coz deceiving people is definitely take place in their effort to reach the goal. But good guys never if they really good coupled with belief in God..
But point here is do bad guys always end up winning..? That's far from truth... Bad guys efforts short lives be it material gain or in other aspects of life. Deception won't last.. Such people will never have peace.. Coz they keep planning day and night for deceiving others... This unethical trauma is never give them peace... Without peace of mind what is winning? How can one win when his inner self is unrest...
Well about GL and Emere statements..
I think for good guys earning money is absolutely fine.. No harm at all. But accumulating without purpose or without spending them is wierd and bizzare..
Suppose if GL has an intention of buying a reasonable house.. Definitely he needs to earn money and accumalte unless he go for the option of borrowing .. So this purpose allows a person to accumulate. What harm in it.. So GL night have millions without spending.. But he has a target..
But if a person is accomplished money while all his basic and even vanity purposes are accomplished and still accumalte without any immediate purpose then he is in wrong path... Being such a rich person Defibitely violate God's instructions... How can he become that much rich, if has shared his wealth among poor.. Is rich given to accumalte or to help others.. As a believer doesn't he know the benefit of charity. . Beyond the necessity then spend.. That cobdition is violated by hoarding wealth...
Don't blame Sulaiman.. How do you know how much he spent on poor. How rich hus community was who knows...
He got power and strength... It doesnt mean he was hoarding wealth.. He enjoyed.. For sure. What harm... He was an accepted believer by God.. How could then he be a hoarder.. Never.. He was blessed... He was not greedy for wealth. But he was special.. And full of mercy from God ..
God says their wealth they hoarded will be burden for them on the day of ressurection .. So. Wealthy person is wealthy still if he spend them with proper planning.. Don't throw all your riches... Don't tie your hands. . -

The prophets David and Solomon were even more wealthy than today's trillionaires. They are the richest people of all time. Also, as I said, other prophets were also rich for a while, mostly."
I see you haven't fully recovered from the pagan communist bible, my friend.
Of course, the Prophets David and Solomon used their wealth for the good of people. But never that wealth was given to them on the condition of sharing it with others. Or, that wealth was not given for the country and the state. All of them were given wealth for individuality.
Holy Quran
3839 "This is Our gift, so you may spend or withhold, without any repercussions."
The full literal translation of this verse says for Solomon, "Whether you share it or hold it, you are free."
Riches and splendor were bestowed upon them, just as in heaven.
There are countless other verses like this, describing that wealth is given to the individual.
As a trillionaire, you share this halal wealth with people and make other people get rich.
It's for the good of others that you become a trillionaire. The world would be a heavenly place if every rich man was lawfully rich and spent his wealth for the good of the world.
But work starts with the individual first. Just as faith first begins with the individual and then spreads to others. Or just as health starts from a part of cells and then spreads to the whole body.
The more wealth you have, the better. The more your individual health, the better. And the more individual goodness and faith you have, the better. Then he will be able to benefit from this wealth of yours all over the world.
David, Solomon, and other prophets were enriched personally, not because they were heads of state, but because they were individually deserved. Verses say this over and over. Please stop injecting the nonsense of pagan communist philosophy into Islam.

You see brother jkhan, I like what you said.
We have now reached a dangerous situation as humans.
We accept what we are told by our systems and accept without questions certain ridiculous situations.GOD does not come into it or have a say in anything as far as human systems are concerned.
Yet GOD gave us all our resources and created for us means to help us live and get our basics of life like food and shelter
Who was given the water rights from GOD? Who was given the oil, gas, animals, lands ,gold, silver and all the natural resources of our living necessities ?As far as GOD was concerned the earth was prepared for us with all these things in it to share together all of us humans.
GOD knew many will deprive others from their rights and take as much as they are allowed or allow themselves by force or cunning , and justify their greed as deserved need.
So GOD promised to allow the test for humans. He sent his instructions and guidance to all and they are free to choose GOD s way or their unjust ways.Now we accept billionaires because we are told they set up businesses or were put in power or GOD knows how and it is their right to have their billions.
Billions to some of us are just accepted numbers and facts and some billionaires deserve what they have!!! ,but we never think that billions are really big and impossible numbers for any honest business or individual to reach under normal and fair conditions.
I am asking No single person can spend even one billion in his/her entire life unless they waste millions of it?
What justification can one have that he/she needs and deserves billions for themselves?On reflection we should REALLY ask what does GOD say to us in His instructions?
May be brother Emre will come up with a list that justifies someone needs even one billion for their needs in life?
GOD bless.

Feels like?
No, it doesn't feel like it. They ARE winning, and this for two reasons
One Your so-called "God" is an indifferent sadist who created filth, scum and villainy (99% of humankind) in his own image, and let them run amok to their hearts' content.
Two The remaining 1% are zombified sheep who think that conspiracy is just a "theory".There you have it. The perfect recipe for the f#%&ed-up world you live in.
Enjoy it while it lasts. bravo
