Bukhl , Kanjosi ;(Miserliness)- Heart Therapy
Bukhl , Kanjosi
Allah Ta'ala
says:
"He who is stingy is in fact stingy because of his nafs."
Rasulullah
Sallallahu alayhi wasallam
said:
"The miser is far from Allah, far from Jannat, far from people and close to the Fire."
Bukhl
is to withhold spending when such spending is necessary according to the Shariat and in order to be kind.
Bukhl
has two stages:
Contrary to the order of the
Shari'ah
. This stage is sinful.
Contrary to kindness (
M
urawwat
). This degree of
Bukhl
although not sinful is not good. Elimination of even this degree of
Bukhl
is commendable and meritorious.
According to the Hadith Shareef wealth spent to protect one's honour is also sadaqah (charity).
Bukhl
is a severe malady, hence
Rasulullah
Sallallahu alayhi wasallam
exhorted:
"Save yourself from Bukhl, for it has destroyed nations before you"
It does not, therefore, behoove a Muslim to be miserly. In being stingy one is paving the path to
Jahannam
.
Bukhl
in reality is the effect of love for wealth which directs man's attention to the world. The consequence of this is the weakening of the bond of love with
Allah Ta'ala
. At the time of death the miser looks on his wealth with regret and sorrow. He has to embark on his journey into the
Aakhirah
reluctantly and forcibly because in him there is no desire to meet
Allah Ta'ala
. According to the Hadith, the one who at death has no desire to meet
Allah Ta'ala
is a
Jahannami
(one who will enter Jahannam).
