Good morning dear followers may this new morning inspire in our hearts a renewed determination to live with purpose, gratitude and self-discipline. One of the most important lessons that Islam teaches us is the virtue of moderation and the dangers of extravagance and wastage. These are matters that every Muslim, especially those committed to the struggle for truth and justice, must remain aware of. Allah says in the Holy Qur'an: "And those who in the time they spend are neither spendthrift nor miserly, but hold a middle way between these extremes. " (Qur'an 25:67) True faith is expressed not only in our prayers and words, but also in the way we manage our resources, our desires and our daily lives. Imam Ali (peace be upon him) is credited as saying that the excesses of worldly life will enslave the necks of men. Indeed, extravagance gradually turns a person into a prisoner of material possessions, making him dependent on comforts that he can no longer live without. The early Muslims understood the power of simplicity; Their ability to endure hardships, hunger, thirst and difficult journeys was among the qualities that set them apart. Their lives were not ruled by luxury, but by conviction, discipline and reliance on Allah. A person who is used to constant comfort may find it difficult to stand firm when life demands sacrifice!! Islam thus warns us against clinging to worldly pleasures. Luxury can breed arrogance, idleness and inattention, while excessive consumption weakens our ability to distinguish between real needs and unnecessary wants. The Qur'an reminds us: "Indeed, humanity transgresses whenever it considers itself independent. " (Qur'an 96:6-7). However, moderation should not be confused with neglecting personal hygiene, cleanliness or respect.
