Hopes And Aspirations

9. Be wary of the deceit of hopes, for many a person has hoped for a day that never came and built a house that he never occupied and amassed wealth that he never used, and it may be that he amassed it unlawfully by depriving others of their rights, thereby acquiring what is forbidden and carrying the burden of sin.

9 إتَّقُوا خِداعَ الآمالِ، فَكَمْ مِنْ مُؤَمِّلِ يَوْم لَمْ يُدْرِكْهُ، وَباني بِناء لَمْيَسكُنْهُ، وجامِعِ مال لَمْ يَأكُلْهُ، وَلَعَلَّهُ مِنْ باطِل جَمَعَهُ وَمِنْ حَقّ مَنَعَهُ، أصابَهُ حَراماً، واحْتَمَلَ بِهِ أثاماً.

10 إتَّقُوا باطلَ الأمَلِ، فَرُبَّ مُسْتَقْبِلِ يَوم لَيْسَ بِمُسْتَدْبِرِه، ومَغْبُوط في أوّلِ لَيْلَة قامَتْ بَواكيهِ في آخِرِهِ.
