"he who trusts in God is able to remove his attention from worldly anxieties and devote entirely to doing what is right." "The rich man who trusts in God will not find his wealth an obstacle to his faith; for he doesn't place his confidence in his wealth, which is for him a trust he has been assigned for a limited period so that he may apply it for the good of himself, his family, and his society."
I really liked these quotes for a few reasons. The first one i really like because it truly defines what it is like to worship. once you can honestly say that you trust in God and devote yourself to that trust, your not just devoting yourself to doing what is right, but doing what is right just seems to make sense. Its the easier thing to do.
The second quote i like because of the reasons listed above, and also because untill i read this passage i kind of felt that god didnt think that people should be wealthy. But now i understand that its not the wealth that is the issue, it is the problems that often arise from being wealthy. Some people can get greedy and selfish. But if you truely trust in god, like metioned about, doing the right thing comes easy. Thus, doing away with the greed and selfishness
