O Children of Adam! Take your adornment to every Masjid. Eat and drink but waste not by extravagance, certainly HE (ALLĀH) likes not Al-Musrifūn (those who waste by extravagance).
Say, Who has forbidden the adornments and lawful provisions ALLĀH has brought forth for HIS servants? Say, They are for those who believed during the life of this world, exclusively ˹for them˺ on the Day of Resurrection. This is how WE make OUR revelations clear for people of knowledge.
Say, My Lord has only forbidden immoralities – what is apparent of them and what is concealed – and sin, and oppression without right, and that you associate with ALLĀH that for which HE has not sent down authority, and that you say about ALLĀH that which you do not know.
{Al-A’rāf: Verse 31-33}
BENEFICIAL POINTS FROM SŪRAH AL-A’ARĀF, VERSE 31-33.
Perform your Salāh in good clothes, and come to the mosque in a neat and tidy manner. Do not come to the mosque with foul-smelling clothes or offensive mouth odour, as it disgusts both the believers and the angels.
If anyone claims that piety lies in poverty and abstaining from good food and clothing, he is a liar. Piety is not indicated by giving up lawful things; rather, it is found in abstention from unlawful things and contentment with ALLĀH’s provision for the individual.
Many actions fall under the prohibition of “being extravagant,” such as eating beyond one’s appetite, spending wealth without reason, or considering lawful things as unlawful. These are all forms of wastefulness or extravagance.
Although disbelievers may enjoy good things in this world for the sake of the believers, in the Hereafter, they will be deprived of everything, even as little as a drop of water.
One of the widespread evils in our society today is that everyone feels entitled to give fatwas without knowledge. This is a grave sin, akin to slander and false accusation against ALLĀH, lord of the Worlds.
