CONCLUSION:Therefore we conclude that religion does not inhibit the acquisition of wealth,it does not hold up large fortunes as evil,the tenor of reaching,by and large,is to induce an attitude of indifference to wondlythings,things which real goods of life are spiritual,love of things of the spirit and service of one’s fellowmen,joy of an ordered disciplined life.These are blessings that money cannot buy.Every religion asks a man to regard his wealth as a trust.Everyone holds it in trust from God to promote the goodness of mankind.All rights to private property are subject to this primary obligation to God and man….
