Hazrat Mufti Ebrahim Salejee (Daamat Barakaatuhu) mentioned
We say that the intelligent person is he who is able to make the most amount of money with the least amount of effort in the shortest time with no legal implications. This is the formula of a successful and intelligent businessman. But Hazrat Moulana Room (rahmatullahi ‘alaih) says that an intelligent person is one who has got the true love of the beloved. For example, you got all the wealth of the world and the next moment you die. So of what benefit was all that wealth? On the other hand, if a person dies with the true love of Allah Ta‘ala, then he has died as the beloved of Allah Ta‘ala. Can there be anything greater than that?
