In spite of the fact that the sources of income of the rich people might be genuine, their greatest crime is that their standard of living and quality of life does not match with that of their fellow beings (ie the common lot) , who are facing strong economic pressure eg inflation. The rich claim that if they have earned money & accumulated wealth either through their toil & hard work or through their academic performance and knowledge then the poor have no right to share their assets. This claim is false & this mentality is selfishness. Can you imagine that a sensible man with a throbbing heart can enjoy a luxurious meal in a hotel, while his worker sleeps empty stomach and his children die of malnourishment. How is it possible that a rich woman with a human soul can wear branded fashion dresses of a boutique, while her maid wears rags. She visits parlours to beautify herself, while her maid even can not maintain her health because of her poverty issues. Such a mental approach of the rich community along with all their arguments are absolutely inhuman. The same was the case with Korah (Qarun قارون) and his crime was that he had attributed his wealth to his knowledge ie skills and therefore he was not willing to share his wealrh with his fellow beings rather he ever pose himself to be superior to the common people. Any such thing that shows an economic difference or financial superiority in a social set up is a real curse & a condemnable issue. Almost all the Holy scripures unanimously depict that it is hard for the rich people leadind a luxurious life to enter the heavens. The Hell would be their final destination because they were neither caring, nor sharig rather they were chasing their benefits & internal desires ignoring the poor conditions of their fellow beings. Spending a few pennies on the deserving but accumulating the rest for their personal benefits, does not exclude them from the Hell, Until & unless they spend all the things that they really love ie their luxurious lodgings & expensive vehicles etc. - Whether he or she may be in government or oppositioni, in the beaurocracy or armed forces etc their sole crime is that they are leading a luxurious life that is above the standard of the living of common poor people. How do the rich affoard a pilgrim to Holy places, while the people in their community lack in fullfilling their extremely basic necessities ie food, shelter, health, dress etc. The rich in any political party or in any government office has usually the one & only objective that is to fulfil their internal desires & selfish purposes. They have no real concern with the poor people of their community. They do not understand that even they have no right of hsving a private property because all the things in the heavens or earth belong to one God only. He is the only owner of all the things and all the beings. No one has any right of accumulating the wealth unnecessarily or leading a luxurious life style while his felow beings on the earth are not having their basic requirements.

Down with the rich,
Accumulating the wealth;
Curse is in which.
While people are starving
for shelter , food & health.
In the cruel hands of poverty.
They are like a sandwitch,
Down with the Rich !
Down with the Rich !
(Poet: Dr.ZiaUllah Zia)
