Part 9

"AND DO NOT EAT UP EACH OTHER'S PROPERTY BY FALSE MEANS, NOR APPROACH THE AUTHORITIES WITH IT TO EAT UP A PORTION OF THE PROPERTY OF THE PEOPLE SINFULLY, WHILE YOU KNOW." (SURAH AL-BAQARAH:188)

The blessed Companion Hazrat Abdullah Ibn Masud RAA reports that the Holy Prophet ﷺ said:

"By Him who has power over my life, no servant of Allah becomes a Muslim unless his heart and his tongue become Muslim, and until his neighbours become safe from being hurt by him. And when a person acquires Hara'am (impermissible) income and then gives it in charity, that is not accepted; and if he spends out of it, it stays deprived of blessings; and if he leaves it behind for his inheritors, it becomes his baggage for taking him to Hell. Surely, Allah Almighty does not erase an evil deed with another evil, but does erase evil deeds because of good deeds."

From Ma'ariful Quran, by Mufti Muhammad Shafi RE
