Israf

  بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

" This life indeed is a test - especially for the ones living in the West."


It's ok to acknowledge that- but the thing we should do is try our best- is  to control our nafs from wordly desires. This whole life for us is a test. when we go shopping and to see all that "stuff" glittery-glam-sequins and shines.. man we want it all- from the the heels to the best deals on the wheels. 

Going to the mall results in israf... What is israf? Israf is the wastage of money for no apparent reason... you know the moms... they don't need it but they'll get it cuz its on sale...lol    




يَا بَنِي آدَمَ خُذُوا زِينَتَكُمْ عِنْدَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا وَلا تُسْرِفُوا إِنَّهُ لا يُحِبُّ الْمُسْرِفِينَ

"O Children of Adam! Take your adornment (by wearing your clean clothes) while praying and going round the Ka'bah, and eat and drink but waste not by extravagance, certainly He (Allah) likes not Al-Musrifin(those who waste by extravagance)."

(Aayah No. 31, Surah Al-A'raf, Chapter No. 7, Holy Qur'an).

وَلا تُسْرِفُوا إِنَّهُ لا يُحِبُّ الْمُسْرِفِينَ

"And waste not by extravagance. Verily, He (Allah) likes not Al-Musrifin (those who waste by extravagance)."

We should try to refrain from buying things that we want and not need; mistaking things we want for things we need. 

The Prophet (saw) said to live like a traveler and ones life processions should as of a traveler.. as humans we tend to forget- al insaanu mina nisyaan. but we should remembere money isn't happiness nor is stuff from this world gunna ever be compatible with the reward for those who believe and abide forever in Jannah. May Allah accept our prayers and make us one from those whose eternal life is Jannah.

 Ammen.

سُبْحَانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُون َ ; وَسَلامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ ; وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ.
