NEW BOOK: Dhamm Al-Maal Wal-Jaah | Ibn Rajab Al-Hanbali | Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan #AMAU [Audio 2/2]

Every day, Muslims chase something. A better job, a higher position, a name that people recognise. We tell ourselves it's just "for financial stability" or "to give my family a good life". But somewhere along the way, that chase stops being a means and becomes the purpose.

The Prophet ﷺ warned us about this chase in one terrifying image: two hungry wolves let loose upon a flock of sheep. Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali, one of the great scholars of Islam, unpacked this hadith in his timeless work Dhamm al-Maal wal-Jaah — showing how the hunger for money and fame tears into the heart more viciously than wolves ever could.

But Ibn Rajab didn't stop there. He explained how these desires quietly grow, how they disguise themselves as "hard work" or "success," and how they can make even acts of worship lose their sincerity. He exposed how wealth can blind, how status can corrupt, and how seeking leadership can ruin a person long before they realise it.

This 8-hour explanation isn't just an old book lesson. It's a mirror. A mirror for the 21st-century Muslim drowning in work, bills, and social media noise - chasing promotions, likes, and validation, all while the soul grows emptier.

So what happens when that hunger takes over? When your career, your image, your "success" become the measure of your worth? When even your acts of worship begin to seek attention instead of Allah's pleasure?

And what does Islam truly say about living in the dunya without being consumed by it?

Find out through the words of Ibn Rajab, and rediscover what it means to be content, grounded, and truly rich in the sight of Allah.
