Book to read - The Richest man in Babylon

I have put up this post in response to the discussion that is currently going on at www.ummah.com/forum with regard to craving wealth, this book is an essential read in understanding wealth creation and also understanding why many will remain poor. Though the book references Babylon and the Jewish community and the author no doubt has links with freemasonry, the lessons are nonetheless essential to learn and a Muslim takes wisdom from wherever he/she finds it, i highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to understand what "rich" is and how to achieve it. I had originally thought i would post the sort of information present in this book in my blog but then changed my mind as these books present it far better than i could here. Instead i will focus on a'maal, the sayings of the Prophet (SAW) regarding wealth, the differences in Muslim wealth creation and other issues such as sharia compliant insurance, finance etc.

Here is the book:
