5 Golden Principles to Secure Yourself

“Common sense is uncommon in common people of the world, and if you use your common sense you can become the richest person in the world.”

Since the advent of life, man has been hankering after lust for power and pelf. Becoming rich overnight is fixed in his bone marrow, gives opportunities for fraudulent activities, and innocent and greedy people lose their savings or sweat-earned money quickly.

There was a person, a mastermind fraudulent scam, named Double Shah con artist, in our vicinity. He promised to double the investment within one or two months. The activity started and the investors got their money doubled after a month. Some of them were convinced to re-invest their profit including the basic amount. Within no time the news spread like a wildfire making a boost the number of investors. All the activities were done manually, so the mastermind was exposed and escaped. Later, he was arrested and a few of the victims got their investment.

With the advent of information technology and Artificial Intelligence, in 2023, there came news of another IDA scam App. Pakistanis are always keen to earn money with investment through shortcuts. Now things are getting tough. Many people have invested a lot of money, just to make it double. The pitiable thing is that most of the investors had good knowledge of Con artist Double Shah, but still, they kept on taking risks in this scam and lost their money. However, it is necessary to know whether the application we are using is safe or a scam. There are many applications available online that are really helpful but some applications are really designed to scam users.

Summary

In short, the first scheme was run manually by a mastermind con artist called Double Shah, who promised to double investors’ money within one or two months. The scheme attracted many investors, but the mastermind was eventually caught and some of the investments were recovered. The second scheme is an IDA scam App, which is spreading in Pakistan in the recent year, 2023. Despite the knowledge of the Double Shah scam, many people were still investing their money in the new scheme in the hope of making quick profits. People need to be more cautious about the dangers of fraudulent investment schemes when investing their money.

5 Golden Principles to Secure Yourself

1. Never believe in the tears of women or men
2. Never stay late outside the home at night
3. Never borrow money to show-off
4. No business is to share its profit
5. There is no easy money in the world

Applying these 5 parameters as a litmus test to evaluate your past failures in life, you can judge your follies well. You will find the end results.

Why does it happen?

The answer to this question is that you have never cheated others or at least tried to cheat others in some way like this or others. You, by nature, look forward to ease, and there is no easy way to get through. There is no easy way to gain comforts and luxuries. Your hard zone leads to your comfort zone only. Your money is not yours, it is a “thing or property committed to the trust and care of a person or group of persons”. It is the trustworthiness of your family or of your children. The money you have lost was not yours. You have lost the money of your family. Your parents got the money because of you, and now you get the money because of your dependents, your wife, your kids, and your old parents. It’s dishonesty. If you have the plan to use this unearned money for some good purpose or visit some holy places; it is your fallacy. Getting profit in such ways is Haraam (illegal).

Has God not given you

1. A healthy mind and body?
2. A house to live in?
3. A job to serve for?
4. A family to enjoy with?
5. A bed to sleep in?
6. Two eyes to see, two hands to work, two legs to walk with?

“Which, then, of your Lord’s blessings do you both deny?” — surrah al-rahman

You are the luckiest person. Be grateful to God for granting you such privileges despite your having committed many sins. You have many weaknesses in your personality. You cannot the price for one part of your body. “Eyes” Just imagine that there are no eyes in the world, everyone has become blind due to some plague or some virus, and everything remains standstill. Thus

Be thankful, Be grateful, and Be mindful.

All humans perhaps by nature have a tendency to see the lack in things, maybe this was necessary for our ancient nomad days when we needed to make sure we had stuff for survival every day. But the situation is quite changed now. We have everything and have a better standard of living than kings had thousands of years ago. We should develop our real wisdom.

Yet how can we still complain, be greedy, and feel like we are lacking?

I think the answer comes down to our perspective, suppose, if we lived in a poverty-stricken village for a week we would come back with a whole new level of appreciation. But over time as we grow accustomed to our lifestyle we would easily forget this experience and need to re-balance the issues involved.

The solution to the problem

Money is to solve every problem. Try to control your emotional system. You need to supervise your internal engineering and leave the rest to the Great Planner of this universe Who has created this great universe with a great plan. Routinely we must practice giving away our things to those who actually need which can help us re-centre. Or to constantly visit and be of service to those who are less fortunate to see the beauty that Allah has bestowed upon us
