EQUAL IN LIFE AND DEATH

The late King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, formerly the richest man in the world, was clothed in a plain brown robe and buried in an unmarked grave. This is in accordance with Islamic teaching that we are all equal in death. That is true; but what does it matter?

I'm not sure what Islam says about one of us accumulating more than another. It is obviously possible within "The Law of Human Nature" but contrary to the "ideal". According to it we should all be equal in life... when it really matters. (see poem)
