The Holy Quran 100:8 — Surah Al-'Adiyat

Arabic text

وَإِنَّهُۥ لِحُبِّ ٱلْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ

Translation

Verily (one of the greatest causes for this behaviour is that) he has a profound (deep-rooted) love for wealth (and is oblivious of Allaah because of his obsession to acquire wealth).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The love of wealth in man is intense: that is, greed, covetousness, miserliness and tight-fistedness have made him blind. He is so immersed in the love of the gold and wealth of this world that he has forgotten even the true Benefactor, and does not understand what his end is going to be further on.
