Berjuta orang ingin menjadi orang terkaya di dunia, siapa tak nak...Tetapi kita perlu ingat bahawa kekayaan itu tidak kekal lama, apa yang perlu ialah kekayaan di dunia dan di Akhirat. Kalau kita kaya di dunia, menjadi raja di dunia tetapi, banyak masa di habiskan untuk mengumpul harta dunia tetapi tidak ada masa untuk mengumpul harta kekayaan di Akhirat, amatlah ruginya dia.
Orang yang tidak mengumpul harta masa didunia, hidup dalam kemiskinan, hidup dalam kehinaan, hanya menadah tangan mengharap bantuan dari orang ramai pada hal ia mampu dari segi mental dan fizikal untuk mencari harta untuk keluarganya dan Agamanya. Ia juga tidak berusaha untuk mencari kekayaan di Akhirat, mencari saham Akhirat, dia adalah seorang yang teramat rugi semasa di dunia dan mendapat kehinaan di Akhirat nanti.
Orang yang berusaha mengumpul harta semasa di dunia untuk diri, keluarga dan Agamanya dan ia mengunakan harta kekayaannya untuk memperjuangkan agamanya, membantu orang dalam kesusahan dan pada masa yang sama ia juga berusaha siang dan malam mengumpul harta Akhirat, maka ia adalah ORANG YANG PALING BERUNTUNG DAN BERBAHAGIALAH IA SEMASA DI DUNIA DAN SEMASA DI AKHIRAT NANTI.
O.K lah dibawah ini saya nyatakan senarai 100 ORANG TERKAYA DI DUNIA, semoga menjadi pedoman pada kita sebagai orang Islam. Dimanakah orang Islam dalam senarai tersebut ? tepuk dada, tanya selera.
