World’s Deception
دنیا کا دھوکہ
الْغِنَى فِي الْغُرْبَةِ وَطَنٌ، وَالْفَقْرُ فِي الْوَطَنِ غُرْبَةٌ.
پردیس میں مالداری وطن کی حیثیت رکھتی ہے، اور وطن میں ناداری (غریبی) پردیس بن جاتی ہے۔
“Wealth in a foreign land is like being at home, and poverty in one’s own homeland is like being in a foreign land.”
Reflections: Imam Ali ؑ highlights a harsh social reality. He explains that **Belonging** is often tied to resourcefulness. While the soul’s true home is with its Creator, in the material world, poverty isolates a person even among their own kin, while wealth provides comfort even among strangers. This wisdom serves as a reminder to be compassionate to the poor in our own communities, as they feel like strangers in their own homes.
