Mankind has a collection of unique qualities. One is desire to be wealthy - this is a blessing, not a bad thing. But it's how we utilise it - we do it for dunya, but actually it's supposed to be for the aakhirah. We do it for dunya - business, high flying career etc, but this is a kid's game, it all disappears. And this dunya desire doesn't end - food, money etc. We sacrifice ourselves - migrate to the west, to the middle east etc, leave our parents behind and they die without us by their side. And now our kids are spoiled here. Make hundreds of maasaid, Quran etc, but no benefit, since not using this blessing correctly. Our iman enveloped in love for dunya wealth.
So, we must change our direction, or objective. Forget bank balance, look at your life. Depart life when really rich. Hadhrat sahib seen people who whole life running businesses, running after money etc, struggle at time of death. We fear dunya poverty, lose focus.

So, Allah has given us means to get actually rich, wealthy in aakhirah - GOOD DEEDS, in abundance! Very weighty. Smile at someone, remove branch in road, all get reward. Many opportunities. Dollar, Pound, but real currency is deeds, amaal - spend in Jannah. Once you focus on this, dunya becomes dust and soil. This dunya pulls us to haram and real poverty. Hoard your wealth of hereafter.
Just like we wonder about which job has most money (rent house, become engineer etc), we should do some for deeds. Boro Hadhrat Sahib poor in life, but super wealthy for aakhirah - that's why kings bow down to Awliyah (E.g Rabiyah Basri - king (Haroon Rashid) visit with adab, with awe) - ministers etc would sit with them, like servants, ask for dua. That's why those big in dunya have to beg for respect and kitmat, those big in aakhirah don't want this, but they keep getting it - because they are so rich. So, what is highest deed (like highest job/business)? Fasting, Hajj, Quran? We big up those big in dunya, big businesses etc, but the most wealthy are those THAT DO DHIKR. They are the most wealthy, most intellectual. Who says this - Allah, in Quran (24 mins).
Hadith - on Judgement Day, they will be sat on thrones of precious stones, faces shine like full moon - those that gathered together, from different location/culture/background etc, and do dhikr together. Dhikr gatherings - listened to around the world- US, Saudi, UK, etc. In some places it's 3am, others its afternoon in office - ALL OVER THE EARTH. In one village in UK, transmitted world-wide. Allah's promise - this whole family, don't even know each other, do dhikr. And this is for men and women - those that do dhikr IN ABUNDANCE. Allah grants - forgiveness and ajar-azeem, SUPERIOR reward. There were people who minimised their chewable food to do more dhikr.
There are different levels of dhikr, best is "dhikr-an-katheer" - do continuosly, ie from DEPTHS OF HEART, so doing ALL the time, even when sleep, work, with family. Those that have it - SO LUCKY, GREAT BLESSING. And you do it monring and evening, even better. And in gathering, better still!
People ask, how can dhikr be better than salaah or other faraaidh? No. Take example of revenue/salary - what you get is not gross, but net, ie after tax. Same with deeds - impure intention, riya, sins etc, will reduce your deeds to almost nothing - like tax. But dhikr is TAX FREE!! Even with riya, no wudhu etc, no tax, no reduction. This dhikr will make up for deficiencies in your other deeds.
But very few people attend dhikr gatherings - most people run away after salah, miss out. So many people don't even know what dhikr is. Shaitaan's job - stop us from things that take you to jannah, from dhikr. Where there is such gatherings, like stars to angels, makes shaitaan angry and post-majlis waswas. So, invite to the dhikr - start from your homes, wife and kids, and you'll see your homes transform, barakah in rizq (even if poverty, wealthy in aakhirah), duas accepted etc. Dunya may go down, but aakhirah will go up. So instil this into your family. Without it, life is empty - we just want to do a few times a week, will cause regret in aakhirah.
