Is Judaism a materialistic religion?

[NordicSomali]

I was surprised to find out that they don't believe in paradise. I think people need rewards or some spiritual peace after death to do good things.

Of course they love materialism.

that’s how they make Money.

So sad. I think they are waiting for a promised Jew Masiah who will take them to the land they were promised. Jews are very brainy, and it is my experience most trouble makers are brainy. Its better to be dumb, for the meek and poor inherit the heavens

I think some people are too smart for their own good. It makes them arrogant.
But being smart is important in Islam as we need scholars.

You will surely find them clinging to life more eagerly than any other people, even more than polytheists. Each one of them wishes to live a thousand years. But even if they were to live that long, it would not save them from the punishment. And Allah is All-Seeing of what they do. 2:96
