Qarun was from among Moses' people, but he betrayed them. We gave him such treasures that the keys thereof were almost too heavy for the strongest person. His people said to him: "Do not enjoy, for God does not like hedonists."

[28:76] In our times, the world has hundreds of obscenely rich people. Many of them accumulated their wealth through corporate laws designed by the wealthy or their proxies to maintain and accumulate more wealth for the rich. While a select few get richer, the majority of the world population is living in poverty. The alarming widening of the gap between haves and have-nots is created by corrupt business conduct, government subsidies, dubious contract deals, monopolistic practices, corporate termites lobbying the so-called elected officials, war profiteering, currency speculations, credit card usury, banking regulations, hostile take over the governments, and ignorance and apathy of the masses.
